Add a Catch Wrestling curriculum to your gym.
Are you looking to add a new dimension to your BJJ or MMA curriculum? As an experienced practitioner and coach based in Clarksville, TN, I specialize in integrating the brutal efficiency of Catch-as-Catch-Can wrestling into existing martial arts programs.
Whether you are in the Nashville metro area or surrounding regions, my mission is to help your students develop a more aggressive, well-rounded, and dangerous grappling game.
Why Partner with a Catch Wrestling Expert?
Catch wrestling is the ultimate “force multiplier” for no-gi grappling. My instruction draws from the deep technical roots of the art—honed through dedicated study and inspired by the standards of high-level coaches that I have trained under.
By bringing Catch Wrestling into your gym, you provide your members with:
Elite Takedown Proficiency: Proven wrestling chains that transition seamlessly into submissions.
Superior Leg Lock Game: Techniques that were dominating mats long before they became a modern BJJ trend.
Aggressive Control and Pressure: A systematic approach to pins and cranks that forces opponents to make mistakes.
Program Offerings for Tennessee Gyms
I offer flexible mentorship and seminar options designed to fit the specific needs of your academy:
1. Gym-Specific Seminars: Intensive workshops covering foundational Catch concepts, from heavy-pressure passing to high-percentage submissions.
2. Curriculum Integration: A personalized mentorship program to help your coaching staff incorporate Catch principles into their existing class structure without disrupting your current culture.
3. Advanced Technical Workshops: Deep dives into “The Brutal Art”—focusing on neck cranks, advanced joint locks, and specialized pinning combinations.
Let’s Strengthen the Tennessee Grappling Scene
The grappling community in Tennessee is growing fast. By bridging the gap between traditional BJJ and Catch Wrestling, we can produce better athletes and more competitive fighters.
Old School Conditioning: The Catch Wrestling Edge
Old School Catch conditioning improves endurance, strength, and willpower through functional, full-body training that prepares athletes for the realities of live grappling.
Catch-as-Catch-Can wrestling is not just about technique; it is about building a body that refuses to quit. Unlike modern, interval-based fitness that focuses on sports science, traditional Catch conditioning is built on the philosophy of “grind until you find.”
My conditioning approach pulls from the vintage training methods of the early 20th-century wrestlers—focusing on functional, full-body stress that builds:
- Relentless Endurance: By training through fatigue, you learn to maintain your technical precision even when your lungs are burning. You won’t just last the round; you will dictate the pace of it.
- “Wrestler’s Strength”: We move beyond standard gym lifts. You will develop the raw, functional power needed to control opponents, execute high-amplitude takedowns, and hold a pinning combination against an explosive adversary.
- Mental Toughness and Willpower: The “Old School” way of training is designed to break and then rebuild your psychological ceiling. You will develop a level of grit that forces opponents to break mentally before they do physically.
- Total-Body Conditioning: From grip strength that never fails to the core stability required for neck cranks and joint locks, our conditioning prepares your entire body for the chaos of the mat.
Whether you are preparing for an MMA fight or looking to survive the toughest rounds at your local BJJ club, this is the conditioning that makes you a “force multiplier.”
