Arm Drag Series: CACC Catch As Catch Can



This is how to do a proper arm drag, not the sport version but the old school arm drag that propels the opponent forward to not get his elbow dislocated, locks are hooks that have failed, the old art of hooking (breaking limbs) instead of submissions.

Catch Wrestling Double Wristlock Recounter



Another awesome DamageControl MMA video with Billy Robinson.

Catch Wrestling is my favourite sport, it’s my preferred grappling style, and the concepts from Billy Robinson, Erik Paulson and other good Catch wrestlers are in my view superior to other styles. As I am getting older and have been struck by bad luck with injuries for such a long time, I used to pin when rolling to get a break and not have to worry what escapes my opponents tried, as pins gives no points in submission wrestling or BJJ, they had never experienced a pin and trained how to escape it. Catch Wrestling has the things I miss in BJJ, neck cranks, spine cranks, leg locks, and all the ugly nasty stuff that are illegal today in competitions.

What Is Catch Wrestling?




Once again the fine folks over at Inside MMA used one of my questions. I initially thought the question may be a bit dumb as you can easily just wiki it, but Josh was more than willing to explain to us, in his own words, what the sport of catch wrestling entails. It's a crying shame it's not offered as widely as any of the other major martial arts.

And Josh was wearing a Nile shirt. Fuckin badass. \m/

I love old Catch As Catch Can pictures, the moves are still useful today as it has always been an NHB style, not as boxing that has changed due to the constant addition of rules and protective gear.
