Learn real Catch Wrestling
Catch As Catch Can. Pin or submit. That is the whole game.
What catch wrestling is
Catch wrestling is old wrestling. Catch a hold when you can. You wrestle standing up. You wrestle on the mat. You win by pin, or you win by submission. There is no point system to game. You do not win by stalling. The logo says it in three words: Throw, Pin, Submit.
What you learn
You learn to throw. You learn to ride on top. You learn to hold a man down. You learn leg locks, toe holds, neck cranks, arm locks, and chokes. You learn to move from one hold to the next, and keep going until one holds. You also learn solo drills, at home, with no partner. The Solo Drills video is free in the Shop.
How catch is different from BJJ
BJJ is built around the guard, and a lot of time is spent on your back. Catch is built around the top. You work to stay on top, to pin, to ride. Catch wrestling is no gi only. BJJ is trained in a gi and without one, catch is trained without a gi. BJJ gives points for positions. Catch does not. In catch, a pin ends it. A submission ends it. None of this is against BJJ. A lot of good grapplers train both. Catch is a different way to wrestle. It is older, and it is built to finish.
Why it is real
Old catch wrestlers fought real matches, for money, with no time limit, until one man pinned or quit the other. The holds had to work, or the man lost. Billy Robinson kept that art. John Potenza learned it from Billy. That is what we teach.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants to learn to wrestle for real. You do not need to be strong already. You need to show up, do the work, and do it again.
