Catch Wrestling

[J Grooms]

What's the beef between Catch and 10th planet? I know a lot of it is just sarcastically making fun of catch, but I was wondering what started it. There are some frauds out there that represent catch that make it look like a joke, but there is also some legit guys repping catch now too. Plus, how can you hate on something that inspired pro rasslin!

[Cookie Monster]

there is no beef dude
zero!

i love catch(only watched dvd's)
lost art of hooking

but that "dark planet" stuff was just a joke

Sean Bollinger invented a move that kinda looks like a catch wresting hold
i dont know the story on how he invented but it looks awesome as hell
and his rubber guard is suppose to be monsterous!

[J Grooms]

I love Catch too dude. Its the perfect compliment to my jiu jitsu..

[Derrick Johnson]

his rubber guard is some of the best ever.

[AJ Camacho]

I'm still waiting for my Dark Planet patches.

The differences between ccc and jj are that jj follows position before submission and catch follows the submission before position philosophy.

Just as SAMBO follows the submission before position philosophy.

Uses submissions that are not always "high percentage", but they take them cause they are available and creates scrambles.

I hope this explanation helps.

I've been training Sambo for over 14 years and have competed internationally in both Sport Sambo and Combat Sambo, this is the first time I've heard that.

Says the guy who has no idea what he's talking about.

FYI, wrestling, as well as catch is all about position and control, weight distribution, pinning, and neutralizing an opponent.

[Christopher Piper]

Both a pin and a submission will end a match right? Where does position play come into the scoring? I've honestly never been to a "Catch Wrestling" event or tournament.

Characteristics of Catch Wrestling

Whereas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu utilizes a more patient, countering approach to submissions, catch wrestling is more about attacking. As MMA fighter Josh Barnett once told MMAWeekly.com, the style "doesn't really believe in laying back and trying to wait for opportunities to present themselves. You make your opportunities; you force your opponents to do what you want them to do."

Thus, it is an aggressive style of fighting that utilizes wrestling in combination with joint locks and choke holds to deliver the desired result.

Basic Goals of Catch Wrestling

In accordance with the aformentioned, the goal of the catch wrestling practitioner is to utilize their wrestling skills to take an opponent to the ground where they will either utilize ground control or a submission to subdue them. The catch wrestling practitioner will attempt to do this as quickly as possible.

If this has led me to have an incorrect understanding. Please correct me. I know Eddie Bravo uses the term Greco-Roman Jiu jitsu from time to time.
