lol loved his story about the indian wrestler breaking his finger

[@mmabbr]

Bit confused here. Is this just for wrestling tournaments? You mention MMA later in the video. Seems like your opponent would to go for a choke straight away. I like the detail in the rest of the video, as it's a clear improvement on what I learnt in BJJ.

[@pikkon899]

The choke can only be applied if you don't secure the grip when on top of the opponent. A common belief from other grapplers is that all wrestlers secure pins by just holding the leg and the head. That only applies in Freestyle and the collegiate levels since submissions are illegal. In Catch, the same choke that can be done in BJJ from this position can also be done here if the opponent moves to the side which only happens if the grip is not secured and no weight is being applied from the top position, which would never happen in Catch since this is how they secure the pin. Securing the grip after the arms is under the leg & head with an S-Grip is how Catch Wrestlers pin while their weight is coming down on the opponent. You can't move because the grip and the weight of the wrestler is constantly keeping you down which in turn wears you out. If the grip can't be secured, the wrestler will drive his shoulder into the opponent's face along with his weight. Josh Barnett did both to Dean Lister. He kept Dean in this position and Dean could not secure a choke due to Josh constantly making Dean take his body weight. In MMA, this prevents the opponent from pulling guard and secures side control. The choke is still possible but because it's MMA and unless it's a highly skilled BBJ opponent, it's more than likely that the person on the bottom will try and scramble to get off of his back since the guard can't be used.

the granby roll?

[@1madinjun]

@TakingItToTheMMAT I have mixed feelings about these sites (not yours) , First I'm 40 and learned Catch for the first time around 1984 in Maine .Then again in 99 for 3 yrs with Pat Aslon one of Erik Paulsons students . My point is I enjoyed knowing things others didn't and now its getting exploited . Now everyone is a Catch wrestler or even worse teaching Catch . Billy is Yoda as is Erik but some guys need to go back to teaching whatever they did before . What is Billy's thoughts on this ?

[@scarred10]

@mmabbr any good bjj coach would know that roll through,its common to all grond styles.
