Submission Wrestling Results Guaranteed Here

I was once taught BJJ by a blue belt in my little city of Hillsboro, OR.  It was find and good, but I preferred stand up, because to be honest.  The ground made no sense!  In fact, I can remember when I went up against a 250 man and I was about 140 and barely wet behind the ears in my submission wrestling/grappling career, and he posted (pushed his forearm against my neck) inside my guard. I didn’t have the right vocabulary at the time in my ground game, so I was forced to tap.

It was sort of embarrassing for both my instructor and myself. I had worked hard on my submission wrestling ground game and it failed me, I remember him looking at me and saying, “what’s wrong with you, you could have escaped out the side.” That’s the problem with some martial arts schools teaching a beginner, you don’t have enough grappling time to know that sort of thing, because you have to rely on technique you have to be taught, because things are too foreign yet.  (It’s actually a major problem in most grappling programs, expecting too much from a beginner is a major mistake. I don’t have this problem because I’ve been there, and done that myself, so I won’t do it to you.)

Fast forward to years ahead, and I got the rare opportunity to train with a UFC (not to mention submission wrestling) legend alone.  Frank Shamrock. I remember he made me do an elevator (not the same as a BJJ elevator) and he looked at me like I was crazy.  He knew he had to fix a lot of bad grappling, and he sure did.  He gave me the key to unlocking the secrets of everyone else’s ground games and to understanding the ground game and its totality (call it years worth of instruction focused in a short amount of time).

Shortly after, I tapped my brother by rear naked choke when he wanted to see what Frank Shamrock taught me, (a feat that wasn’t possible before). I became very formidable to people bigger and stronger than me.  People my size or even 20 pounds in my range, didn’t want to grapple me, because I had/have a grueling style that punishes people on the ground and is intimidating from the angles I can hit submissions (all thanks to good training and the right training in submission wrestling).

That’s why I love submission wrestling or catch wrestling.  It’s a realistic art; it was used to enforce rules during the old traveling carnivals. Catch wrestlers were the most feared and revered fighters in the carnivals and that continues today, to its main practitioner, Josh Barnett. Other’s have sprung up and are known for their vaunted grappling skills like: Erik Paulsen, Ron Balicki, Matt Hume, and others.

Catch wrestling/submission wrestling is a man’s sport indeed. If you want to catch someone who is better than you at the ground game and they use BJJ, then you have to think outside the box… Way outside of the box, your methods have to be totally different, your submissions have to be different, you have to grapple different.  And for sure, catch wrestling is different.

So if you want to be different, and tap out people with more experience with you, then you have to play a different game.  If you want to play that game differently, you want to train with me.  We are not your typical BJJ school by design, because we are submission wrestlers/catch wrestlers.  You will be intimidating, brutal, and the best part of this style is that you’ll be in shape. You’ll strike fear into your opponents, and you’ll be able to look at anyone in a dark alley and know you can stretch them until they cry for mercy just like your predecessors in catch wrestling/submission wrestling did before you.  You will be carrying a time honored tradition forward to the future, and you’ll be one of the only people who can honestly say, “I’m a catch wrestler.”

Here’s what you will discover:

• New self confidence, you will know you can drag just about anyone to the ground and punish them if you really need to
• New friends, you always make new friends when you are around people who want to learn like you
• No sweaty males with egos, nope, I turn them away
• We train safe, we don’t want to have any injuries in our classes, no egos in our gym (just have to remind you, because you’ll find a lot of them out there)
• A lost art of grappling that predates BJJ and is more brutal than BJJ
• Moves that have been lost to the grappling world, and still are (for the most part) still lost
• Physical fitness, this style will make you fit, and it will make you just as intimidating as anyone walking the street
• The lost art of leg locking – 90% of people doing leg locks do them totally wrong – you’ll learn how to do it right, including my vaunted, “sucks to be you leg lock”
• And much more

So if you’re serious about training in a safe environment where there are no egos, and almost everyone is welcome (those with egos and the intention to hurt others are not welcome), then you want to train with me.  You will be formidable very quickly, and you will be a grappler (a skilled submission wrestling grappler) in no time flat.
