Started training catch wrestling concepts through an online curriculum and bringing them into my no-gi training. The riding and pin-based control is SO different from BJJ.
In BJJ everyone gives up top position to play guard. In catch, top position IS the game. The pressure, the cranks, the ability to make someone miserable from north-south or a crossface is an art form.
Plus catch wrestlers had leg locks and submissions from the top decades before BJJ caught up.
Anyone else into catch? There's got to be at least a few of us in DFW.
