The weekend of July 16th, 2021 gave fans and athletes one helluva pair of events! First on Friday, July 16th there was Shoot Pro Wrestling – REBIRTH! This is my vision for competitive grappling done under professional wrestling rules (i.e. pro catch wrestling).

Here’s the live feed from the event!

THEN, on Sunday in San Diego we held our open tournament, THE KING OF CATCH WRESTLING. It was 7 hours of amazing matches!

Be sure to check out our Fall schedule below and join us at an event!!!

Coach Dick Cardinal was my first legitimate CACC coach. He was also the first Head Coach for the Scientific Wrestling Coaching Coach program.

Dick Cardinal, respected American At Show catch-as-catch-can wrestler, passed away on Christmas Eve, 2020 at the age of 93.

He was a great wrestler, a great man, and a great friend. I included a lengthy interview with Coach Cardinal in my 2011 best-selling book Say Uncle! too.

My friend Mark Hewitt wrote an amazing eulogy here. Please enjoy this clip of Coach teaching keylocks from 15 years ago (he was 78 here!):

From 2007. Me, Coach Cardinal, my newborn daughter Leona, and my wife Sondra.

If you have a few hours to burn learning about catch-as-catch-can grappling related stuff I have been a guest on a few podcasts since we’ve been locked down.

First, listen to the brilliant Sonny Brown interview me on the Sonny Brown Breakdown here.

Then I was on Kaleb Planks’ InfernoCast , on Coach Brian’s Teach Me Grappling, Chris Marten’s BizJitsu podcast about my DVT and discovery of my carotid artery dissection/mini-Stroke last September:

Then it was awesome the Josh WARMASTER Barnett gave me a shout out on the Joe Rogan Podcast (at about the 59:30 mark):

The most fun are the podcasts I do with friends and younger athletes that I admire like Josh STARLORD Leduc:

…and Emil Fischer on his Baking Cookies, Taking Limbs podcast:

Hope you all are doing ok during Lockdown. Hit me up if you have an questions or ideas for me! Thanks.
