Really good stuff here. Enjoying learning stuff that is different from BJJ. Give classmates something they don’t see coming.
Nasty catch moves here, especially enjoyed the section on hammer locks.
Joel clearly knows his stuff, great old school stuff
Great instructional, specially enjoyed the hammerlock section.
Joel has an excellent teaching style, and his concept of inches enaures maximum efficiency for even the basics. A must have
Good content for more experienced grapplers but harder for the begginers
Began studying catch about a year ago and this instructional was a great purchase. Great details and thorough.
Coach Joel Bane is always impresses me with devastating techniques
Leg rides and hammerlocks
Really great stuff that you won’t get in BJJ class. A great addition to any grapplers arsenal.
I enjoyed this product and the submissions. Good details on hand and leg position.
Great catch instructional that gives details on the style and how it is considerably different from BJJ in many ways. WILL MAKE YOU LOOK AT SUBMISSIONS IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
As with all Joel Bane instructionals the respect for all grappling arts is there; and this helps contextualise the techniques he coaches. You will find value here no matter the type of grappling you do.

Brutal content! Thanks again Coach Bane!
This is a fantastic video for learning how to apply these catch wrestling solutions to guards and turtle defenses you hear about. Highly recommend for any wrestling based submission grappler.
Enjoy putting catch into my jiujitsu game. Cause pain to creat reaction
Coach Bane is a genius and introduces concepts of pain compliance and chain submission work that can often be lacking from BJJ's extensive game. Absolutely time well spent watching this one and applying the principles.
I recently purchased "Brutal Catch Wrestling Leg Riding And Hammer Locks" by Joel Bane and I have to say, it's been a game changer for my grappling skills. As a practitioner of catch wrestling, I am always looking for new techniques to add to my arsenal, and this instructional did not disappoint. What sets this instructional apart is its emphasis on aggression and unorthodox joint locking techniques. Joel Bane, the esteemed head coach of Snake PIT U.S.A, does an excellent job of breaking down each move and explaining the underlying principles. The leg riding techniques are particularly effective and have helped me catch opponents off guard. The production quality of the video is top-notch, with clear demonstrations and multiple angles for a comprehensive understanding. The instructional is easy to follow, even for those with limited experience in catch wrestling. One aspect I appreciate is that the techniques taught in this instructional are practical and applicable in real-world scenarios or competitive grappling. I have already noticed a significant improvement in my skills since incorporating these techniques into my training. If you are a fan of catch wrestling or looking to expand your grappling knowledge, I highly recommend "Brutal Catch Wrestling Leg Riding And Hammer Locks." It's a valuable resource that will add depth and effectiveness to your grappling game.
Learned a cool and unique way to control the legs. I liked it a lot.
The toe holds for attacking Turtle position are ace!
followed Snake pit for a while so was stoked to see this released (half price nonetheless. almost feel guilty like I owe Joel some cash cause this is such a dope combination of class Billy Robinson inspired series. if you've never checked out some of Billy's old school Wigan catch wrestling you should do yourself a favour and get this. Billy and his disciples have created an extraordinary system that I find to be extremely complimentary to a no gi bjj style. Would absolutely recommend 10/10. Awesome brutal ****. Up there with Paulson, Barnett, Jake/scientific wrestling, and Melanson filth.
I love using catch as part of my overall grappling game. This instructional from Joel Bane is excellent, you will learn stuff in a way that you won't from most BJJ instructors.
Thoroughly enjoyed this instructional from Snake Pit USA's Joel Bane. Plenty of juicy technique to get stuck into, with Joel explaining the fine details to execute the submissions properly, from the limb positions to the angles. I particularly liked his style of teaching which reminded me of Erik Paulson's, which isn't surprising as Joel references him as being one of his teachers. I hope Joel returns with more catch wrestling goodies to share.
Definitely good leg rides. Transitions seem a bit advanced but can be drilled.
Excellent!
great
This is a great Catch Wrestling instructional. Joel bane does a great job, 10/10!
Coach bane is a guarantee. It’s nice having a complete system from him.
Coach Bane has a no frills style of showing highly effective leg rides that transfer over to Bjj seamlessly!!
I’ve been following coach Joel bane on social media for a couple of years now and own a few of his other dvds. Everything he puts out is superb, no detail left out, and this video is no different. His instructionals have been pivotal in my CACC journey as I only get to train once a week in a gym. I highly recommend this if you have an interest in catch.
Of the many titles I have from BJJ Fanatics, this instructional is the one that has dropped my jaw the most. With info I’ll never see in my BJJ school, I will soon have some Catch Wrestling in my arsenal what my training partners will not see coming! Get this one!
As Authentic Catch as Catch Can as it gets. Coach Bane gives dives into so many crucial details and concepts that always in my mind when Rolling thanks to him. I can't wait for more Joel Bane and Snake pit usa on Bjj fanatics.
Amazing video and useful techniques for any grappler.
I've been training BJJ for just on 3 years, and in the last year or so have discovered Coach Bane's videos and seen some of his techniques. This video is phenomenal. Superbly efficient techniques with extreme attention to detail. Nothing is rushed through, and after trying some of these out with partners can personally attest to the pain and efficiency of them. Hoping we see a lot more of Coach Bane on BJJ Fanatics. Absolutely brilliant. Must have.
Bring back Joel Bane. We need more Catch Wrestling instructional videos from him! One of the best instructional video on authentic Catch Wrestling.
Great instructional, combining some innovative submissions with various rides and other control methods.
Coach Joel Bane has a concise and conceptual way of explaining concepts from CACC, as well as every grappling art he studies and competed in. This video in particular was a pure CACC concepts video, but Coach Bane can teach hybrid or focused attention on CACC, Judo, or BJJ. This and any future videos from Snake Pit U.S.A would be a goldmine of information for interested students of all grappling arts.
Joel Bane shows a style of catch wrestling that is highly effective in BJJ. There are many details that even good BJJ players will overlook in very simple transitions. The details shown here will improve your game in whatever grappling art you do. The hammer lock series has details that will make your kimura tighter (double wristlock), and the leg ride series will make your back control much more versatile. In addition, catch concepts such as rips, rides, and pins can be added to any grappling style and will improve anyone's game. Awesome stuff.
The one thing I love about catch is the concept of attacking from everywhere. This video helps reinforced that idea & has opened up new areas in my submission game!
I’m a BJJ guy, but I’ve had some interactions with catch lately, specifically with Coach Joel Bane and his students. All top notch. And I’ll tell you straight, I’ve been stealing his techniques for years from other instructionals and YouTube videos. So, to see this here now I can tell you it is well worth the money and time investment for sure. You can’t go wrong with this material.
Joel Bane is the best Catch Wrestling coach out there. This video has great attention to detail, and concepts that make sense. If you are a current or former folkstyle wrestler, Catch is much easier to pick up that BJJ. If you do train BJJ, Catch will give you some more tricks that other competitors won't be familiar with.
I’ve been studying Catch Wrestling under Joel Bane since 2015. If you’ve ever been to one of his seminars or trained with him, you’re used to this high level, highly detailed instruction by Coach Joel. I am glad that he & BJJ Fanatics teamed up to put this video out. I hope this is the first of many to come. Everything on this video can only be beneficial to the grappler regardless of grappling discipline. Snake Pit USA is the top of the food chain in Catch Wrestling.
Great video . Special attention to details on how to make everything efficient and brutally devastating and instant when it’s time to apply submissions . Snake Pit USA is top of the food chain when it comes to Catch Wrestling! Highly recommend this to all grapplers.
