In addition to initiating the modern era of competitive catch-as-catch-can wrestling and providing top-shelf training opportunities with legends Scientific Wrestling prides itself on providing Grade A online content too. Check out these recent articles by esteemed CACC wrestling historian Mark Hewitt:

Before MMA #1: Wrestlers versus Boxers, Even the Promoters Got into the Act

BEFORE MMA #2 – East Meets West-1905: Catch-As-Catch-Can Takes on Jiu-Jitsu

And if well-sourced, well written scholarly articles on CACC aren’t your cup of tea, sit-in on these exclusive RARE but lengthy audio conversations with “God of Wrestling” Karl Gotch himself:

Coaching Catch 3-Day Camp

“These days, almost everybody’s coming into combat sports through the Japanese style of learning, with the belt system. That’s what is great about Jake’s and my idea about the certification. It wouldn’t have been necessary in the old days, but it’s necessary now. It helps create an interest among all those people who want to come to a seminar and get a certificate, so we can actually teach them the old catch-as-catch-can way – to learn how to learn. And I can’t blame them for wanting to have their names noted as part of the history of catch-as-catch-can.” –Billy Robinson, Physical Chess, p. 139-140

When I started ScientificWrestling.com in 2003, DVDs were the standard medium for wrestling instructionals. 15 years later, DVD players are hard to find in most homes since most people now just stream content directly to their laptop or smartphone.

It has taken substantial time, money, and effort BUT we finally transferred ALL of our highly acclaimed grappling instructionals to Video-On-Demand! This means that whenever you decide you want to learn from Scientific Wrestling legends like Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, Wade Schalles, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Josh Barnett, etc. you can! You can purchase the instructionals permanently or rent them and no shipping expense or wait! Also, you can watch them on the Vimeo app on your phone in the gym, on the bus, at work, anywhere!

Remember, if you want our complete library (including the massive Fighting Library and the exclusive Scientific Wrestling t-shirt) remember the Complete Catch Wrestler package! You won’t find better information or coaches anywhere!

8/3 is the birthday of Karl Gotch, aka “Kamisama” (i.e., which means “God of Wrestling” in Japanese).  CatchWrestlingU (a really informative blog if you’re interested in catch, both exhibition and competition) has started celebrating Karl Gotch Day on his birthday, August 3rd. Following his lead, so have I and I sincerely hope you begin to do the same!

In the meantime, to remember Karl check out this collection of conversations I had with the legendary wrestler.
