Anyone "catch" that attempted Inverted shot to leg attack by Tim Elliot tonight? Just missed it, wasn't deep enough tho. Gutsy move in MMA!!!!
You cannot seriously consider yourself a cacc guy if you like beeing on your back, it's a non-sense.
Catch wrestling = wrestling + sub, and wrestler dont go on their back.
So, my short answer is NO.
Josh Barnett
Frank Shamrock
Dennis Hallman
Sak
Not Catch guys? Or is your "idea" of Catch a little off? The body scissor or guard has been prevalent in Catch since the beginning and morso since modern MMA. Catch isn't and never was a static art.
Wow that Tim Elliot!!! I caught that rolling Imanari leglock attempt for sure, did the commentators? Guessing not, Bas missed it WSOF when kid tried it few weeks ago as well...
Oh, anyone see the missed opportunity for the Bar arm and Hammer lock behind the back by Mendes to Guida? Front turtle like in my vid, had the underhook all notched in deep just had to grab the wrist with his other hand.......the buff kid I help train caught it we thought it was going to happen for a sec!
Title, i said: do not LIKE being on his back' all of those guys except maybe Shamy, do not like the whore position and avoid it most of the time. It's the wrestler mentality and cacc is wrestling plus subs...
Cacc have pins, so when you train cacc, you avoid the back. It's not a big secret.
Now, if you talk cacc for mma, and i know what i'm talking about, i'm primary an mma coach wih strong cacc influwnce since my grappling back ground is cacc (under Kris Iastkevich). It's a different thing.
We have to train the guard, 'cause shit happen ;-)
But a guy like Mir who love guard and suck at wrwslting cannot be seriously said that he isba cacc guy.
I think Josh actually does teach a class on Catch wrestling at Paulson's place.
Gene Lebell Learned from the great Lou Thesz and Ed Lewis among others.
Yeah.... I'm going to have to talk to them, dosent really seem like there is much grappling that's not heavily tied to Jiu-jitsu in my area. It was great to see Josh Barnett win and represent Catch Wrestling on Saturday!Most of the time, trying to escape without knowing what's going on lead to injuries.
So, like you said, if they know nothing about leg lock...

Anyone know if Barnett has trained with Ken Shamrock? two of the greatest american catch wrestlers, I know Ken has worked with Paulson and Barnett has with Suzuki and Funaki.. (Ken's teachers)
