Billy Robinson - Sakuraba is one of my boys and a real CACC wrestler

Having trained BJJ and was amazed when I saw the beginning of the UFC, I was sure that BJJ was the ultimate grappling system.

Kazushi Sakuraba is one of my favourite MMA fighters a real CACC wrestler and the first one to win against all the Gracie’s and their best fighters and made it look like a walk in the park.

Watching DVD’s with Billy Robinson has completely changed my view on grappling, this is not a gentle art as Judo, Judo is an effective grappling system that formed the base for BJJ, but  Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling is brutal and IMO my favourite grappling style a true NHB style.

Catch Wrestling: a study of Kazushi Sakuraba

This fighter changed my view on combat, seeing Royce Gracie fight in the early UFC started my journey with training BJJ and MMA, Kazushi Sakuraba showed me that there was an almost forgotten grappling style that was not only extremely efficient, but also had many lethal techniques that are banned in BJJ and MMA..
