    How to get kicked out of a biker gang

    If it's one of the 1%ers "bad standing" means they put a price on your head. "Good standing" they will leave you alone. In both cases you have to give back your clothes and remove your tattooes.

    Why a Kung Fu guy hates grappling.

    This dude was exposed by Bullshido some years ago. He made a reply pointing a gun at the camera.

    Catch Wrestling United

    It's hard to find videos of old school catch wrestlers in action, videos of Billy Robinson, Karl Gotch and Lou Thesz are worked pro wrestling matches. However there is at least one exception. I think I already mentioned it earlier somewhere on this forum, Roy Wood did some seminars in Japan...

    Muay Thai Gym Q&A

    I think the off-site budget rooms and the deluxe off-site rooms got a big advantage compared to other places, they have a shared kitchen. I've been visiting the gyms at that street several times in the past and would say the off-site budget rooms/Baan khun yui is the best place around because of...

    Thoughts on Priit Mihkelson's system?

    I think that newer video looks better than his old one. I think maybe he got some good details when it comes submission defense. Unlike Telles, and grapplers with a wrestling background I think he lacks the offensive techniques in turtle. He only displayed the far elbow roll(forgot the american...

    Catch Wrestling United

    Himself and probably anyone who ever spent time on the mats with him. He's very proud of his judo background. He also spent time in other sports but his main thing has always been judo.

    Is Neil Melanson legit?

    Is Melanson a legit grappler? I would say yes. A legit catch wrestler? Not really. He got his background in a Bart Vale associated shootfighting gym. In Hayastan he only spent somewhere between 1 to 2 years. He's been a grappling coach at both Xtreme Couture and then later the Blackzilians...

    Roman Dolidze's Masterclass Against Jack Hermansson Last Night

    Yea, I think one of the sad things with catch wrestling almost disappearing is that a lot of techniques are disappearing. Lou Thesz got a very interesting style with his own set of moves, there's really nobody around that teaches his techniques. It's also the same thing with all the DVDs...

    Roman Dolidze's Masterclass Against Jack Hermansson Last Night

    Catch wrestling is actually quite simple, when it goes to the ground the one top have to pin or submit. The one on the bottom have to either stand up, submit or reverse. I already had experience from MMA and trained with some american wrestlers so the transition wasn't too hard. I think...

    Roman Dolidze's Masterclass Against Jack Hermansson Last Night

    I'm originally a freestyle wrestler. When Roy Wood decided to teach catch wrestling again at the snake pit I decided to go there since I've already done MMA and knew Roy because I've been facing his wrestlers in freestyle competitions since way back. Same snake pit that produced Karl Gotch and...

    Roman Dolidze's Masterclass Against Jack Hermansson Last Night

    Stepover toehold, all of the different variations got the same name. In catch wrestling we don't have the same entry from the bottom as we saw in UFC. Also it's rare to triangle your own legs, the way Thesz does it is the regular way. We also don't see the same kind of entries that Thesz is...

    News John Hathaway to return for Oktagon on October 15th.

    I know it's not MMA but Hathaway is the most dominant catch wrestler right now. He's the only undefeated champ right now. Been dominating the sport since 2018.

    Y'all reckon this is our old friend?

    If people spam racist bullshit they should get banned. The UG let people say whatever they want and the forum turned to complete garbage. I don't really want to censor people but sports are one of those places were we should be able to take a break from all the crazy politics.

    Any Good Video Breakdowns Of Foreman's Technique?

    Not exactly the kind of breakdown you're looking for but I like this one. It's about how he changed his style to remain in sport when he got older and slower.

    Catch Wrestling United

    No, because you're a midget, half my age and got mental issues. You don't need a fight you need to see a doctor. Mate, I was there at the event in 2016. Raul is twice the size of Greg. All he did was stalling and won by sprawling on top. Roy said it himself when he announced the decision, Greg...

    My big stupid hype trains thread.

    @Hellowhosthat I like this thread. I also saw your discussion in the Scott Coker thread and thought it would be interesting to see how you rank the different organisations. Didn't want to hijack that thread. Personally I think KSW is the best european organisation since the original Cage...

    Catch Wrestling United

    Next week, june 4th the snake pit world championship is back in Bolton. This time there's a couple of americans coming over, with fancy titles like NCAA champ, All american and olympic trials qualifier. It's nice to see the world championships keep on recruiting high level wrestlers. Not too...

    Billy Robinson on what makes a Catch Wrestler (Video)

    I think calling him a fraud is a bit exaggerated. He was just a terrible fighter with good marketing skills. In Europe a lot of the oldschool MMA gyms can trace their lineage back to him but nowadays his influence is nonexistant. If a MMA gym uses terms like shootfighting, shooters Bart Vale was...
