Being a Lancashire Lad I firmly believe this should be taught in school not only for the discipline and sporting aspect, but also due to the cultural relevance.

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

Fully agree, in America they are taught collegiate wrestling, it is such a shame we don't have that here.

[@HYDRAKRAVIST]

CACC from Lancashire. THE no.1 Grappling methods in the world!

[@logiclane9550]

All the wrestling we see in the UFC and the Olympics started in Lancashire! Red Rosers! Be Proud of your Tradition!

[@MegaHitman666]

Many thanks for posting;These Old masters of CATCH should be recognized by everyone! These stuff are like GOLD.

[@KJGould]

Japanese Jiu Jitsu, sure. Largely because some Japanese fighters took part in Catch Wrestling matches in USA and Europe over a century ago. Martin Burns, Georg Hackenschmidt and later Ed Lewis said it was worth learning from the Japanese to add to the wrestling game. Similarly Jigoro Kano saw the benefits of wrestling, and adopted the Fireman's Carry into his Jiu Jitsu (Judo).

[@Stuffandstuff974]

All martial arts can only get better by learning what works from the others art forms.

[@jac9963]

Max Respect for "Catch As Catch Can"...!!....The best grappling philosophy and system in the world. Good to see the art coming back to the forefront... Will, no doubt, likely revolutionise the world of MMA as time goes on, and Catch Wrestling "catches on", and takes it's rightful place in the grappling world once again. Likely to eclipse the Gracie systems, in the course of time, as the true history of the Gracies lowlife tactics and actions in relation to Catch Wrestling in the days gone by clearly indicate....

[@conorfiggs234]

Lmao catch wrestling will never eclipse bjj and it’s because of catch wrestlers (such as yourself) try to segregate catch and jiu-jitsu. Grappling is grappling and keeping systems separate is ludacris, bjj practitioners have nothing against catch so I don’t know why idiots like you have such a red headed step child complex of being jealous of bjj’s fame

[@aramiscabrera8778]

This is great grappling.. what is going on with all the english guys.. you have to represent.. keep it alive

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

Thank you,. And yes, you are right.

[@Archangel_Spider]

THIS IS VERY GOLD AND RARE

[@antowalk]

What you talking about freestyle came from catch and catch matches were alot longer.

[@KJGould]

Catch guys had much longer than 6 minute matches. Conditioning was more important than power, and technique was more important than athleticism.

[@jimmym02]

This is great, I have always felt that wrestling is the best at least for myself. And I refuse to buy into all that BJJ that is so popular right now.

[@KJGould]

A lot of these places don't have heating, or cost a lot to heat. Plus it can get pretty cold up North in England. This was filmed back in January after all. Kris Iatskevich near Montreal, Quebec, also a cold environment.

Supers Technikue Wrestling Catch Thank you Greetings Greet my family

[@antowalk]

Would you say Collegiate wrestling dont have explosive take downs as collegiate is the closes wrestling style to catch and is the sone of catch wrestling.

[@MacmillansDiciple]

But none the less explosive and well executed takedowns are important.

[@valgorlin]

Wow. the pit is still around? So exciting.

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

yep! absolutly freezing the gym was

[@ragmamufn]

Much respect and many thanks for posting this! Excellent breakdowns...seems quite different than the college wrestling and brazilian jiu-jitsu popular in the States right now. Long live Crayling!!

[@arnaudsachsen6711]

Please note the Gracies have only been defeated 'on their own turf' by Fujiwara a Japanese Catch Wrestler trained by the late, great, Billy Robinson (died 2014) of Lancashire, UK. Catch wrestling first comprehensively documented in the UK in 1490 had been practiced for several thousand years.

[@davidpinon5284]

Sakuraba, not Fujiwara.

[@jenkah]

Makes sense because Lancashire was Roman settlement and, probably, the Romans took some wresting techniques from Greeks. Several centuries after, the coal miners started to train with some of this wrestling knowledge Inherited by their predecessors.

[@Fred-px5xu]

👊👍

[@walmartian555]

bjj came from catch wrestling.

[@charlesenglebretsen5130]

BJJ came from judo specifically kosen judo.

[@fteambjj]

@@charlesenglebretsen5130 i was researching this for a bit... as a bjj practitioner i also know that its from judo but.. there is a great great influence on Catch... research it your self... a lot of the submission locks moves are from catch and judo does not have this until its incorporated later on... Maeda was also learning catch wrestling. Its a big conspiracy but check out george gracie or jorge gracie. Apparantly george and carlos was also teaching helio catch wrestle.

[@antowalk]

@valgorlin Theres a few old timers still around dont let anyone twll you that they aint.

[@jetli6867]

like

[@thecraighi]

And judo and jujutsu. Most of the top catch wrestlers competing today have strong jiujitsu backgrounds. I think catch is a mind set more than a strict martial arts system.

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

thank you

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

thanks

[@DirtyWhiteGi]

great video. love learning about the old school wrestling and catch, thanks for posting these videos up

[@markymarco2570]

Auto subtitles don't quite get it.

[@soulinite]

even sumo has something to offer!

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

@BrettDanceBaker haha he does doesnt he haha, when i watched it back i thought jheeze, is this guy gonna die holding the camera for me haha, i only gave him the camera for 2 mins lol, he was TIRED from wrestling i guess!!

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

its just your own personal preference, i look to wear a t shirt when sparring thats just me, and i guess thats just some other people aswell, as sum people prefer a rash guard. ur own personal preference.

[@soulinite]

Guilty as charged sir.

[@ppkrex]

Most catch guys are are freestyle, or greco guys who want to get back into wrestling after they have left school, hence most catch guys are your working class man who has nostalgia for wrestling in his younger days at least that's my experience.

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

@MaidenProphecy haha ok next time ill put up some subtitles for you!! lol

[@BrettDanceBaker]

Camera man alright at about ten minute mark? Sounds like the lads gonna keel over.

[@MacmillansDiciple]

Catch guys don't seem to have the explosive takedowns of freestyle and Greco guys

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

@ragmamufn yes you are right! thanks

[@THEARTOFGRAPPLING]

agreed!!

[@Lexthebarbarian]

Is there subs and locks in this art or not? It looks like ordinary wrestling.

[@IgnatiusCheese]

It's catch wrestling with pins and submissions. Some rules have no chokes, and some have no pins.

[@simonc3112]

there are, but apparently not here. these ones look to be somewhat basic, but great techniques.

[@thecraighi]

Grappling is grappling the techniques in each art are all mostly the same with some tweeks. Catch is amazing but for the most part the top grapplers in the world are bjj world champs. Train both arts if you "refuse to buy into BJJ" your probably going to get strangled

@@arnaudsachsen6711 bro you are lost sakuraba was trained by billy robinson and was nicknamed the gracie hunter... fujiwara was trained by karl gotch. get your facts right before you splurt shit online

[@fteambjj]

i totally agree with you. i train in bjj but im fascinated by catch!!! So many moves that can be incorporated.. its like the 10th planet edgy braaa, he incorporated a lot of wrestling moves into his 10th planet style bjj and it works wonder... I honestly believe, greek/romans had it all down in wrestling way back around 450bc ish.. then over the centuries the style moved from region to region with humans transmigration over the continents and it incorporated it self in certain areas to be passed down. Some of the art got lost in certain places and on others it kept on getting passed down until we have the branches of different styles now under different rules of engagement/sports etc.. But originally it was one style which is wrestling and the art of hand to hand combat. Take an example for something recently.. an judoka sent by kano to russian with the russians eventually invented sambo, take maeda who was in the usa who did learn catch wrestling went to brazil and taught the gracies both catch and judo and they (gracies) created bjj. The history of catch im not sure but i know its from england and around the 1400s but for sure i came from the greek period. just my opinion
