Catch TAKEDOWNS
Many new and old takedowns. Very interesting and exciting stuff.
Great details
Changed my arm throw forever
Good
Billy Robinson...rulezzzz
Unfassbar viele Techniken und alles erklärt anhand der Catch Prinzipien und Regeln nach Billy Robinson. Danke Jake und Sam für das teilen dieses Wissen. Ich finde es ist jeden Cent wert und jeder kann gute sachen übernehmen die zu einem passen und den Gegner überraschen und Catch prinzipien in sein Grappling einzubauen. Es ist so schade das Catch nicht viel bekannter ist. Aber man sieht immer mehr davon in dem Game der Leute
Awesome!
Watching this will change your grappling experience. Once you get taught a little bit about catch. You’ll see things not many other grapplers see. I DEFINITELY suggest buying this and the submissions instructional.
Catch Wrestling Takedowns
As a BJJ white belt (1 stripe) who began training in March 2024, Jake Shannon's Catch Wrestling Takedown course perfectly complemented my early grappling journey. The curriculum breaks down takedown fundamentals in an accessible way for beginners, presenting techniques methodically as part of a comprehensive system rather than isolated moves. My only criticism is that occasionally instructors speak over each other during demonstrations, causing some confusion. A more structured approach to verbal instruction would enhance the learning experience. Despite this minor issue, I give this course 5 stars. It delivers exceptional value for BJJ practitioners looking to improve their standing game, being accessible for beginners while offering enough depth for more experienced grapplers.
Nice
Very slick takedowns the catch wrestling way. Highly recommended.

This is a decent video, but I would say it is suited to someone who already has a good grasp on regular grappling takedowns. There is some pretty unique material here, but it is not a good first video to make a takedown system out of. Best to get a more traditional takedown video and add these to your arsenal from there. Also some of these techniques are insanely illegal in most tournaments or very irresponsible in training, not many but a few. As long as this is what your looking for it is definitly a good purchase.
Jake Shannon is preserving the legacy of Billy Robinson

The takedowns which are taught in this instructional are different to the ones i knew before. I' ll try to integrate some of these techniques into my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻great
great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome
I have all of Mr. Shannon's videos and as always he presents the material in a clear and concise way that makes it easy to follow. I apply this techniques in live rolls and they helped tremendously
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Catch Wrestling Takedowns/Submissions by Jake Shannon
I have followed Jake Shannon and the Catch As Catch Can movement for several years now and I was excited to finally have some access to the Dark Side that is Catch. I use these takedowns and submissions from the Jake Shannon series and I love it. My little group of guys I teach also love how brutal these techniques can be. Learning some Catch basics has tremendously improved my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Product! I have all
Great Product! I have all of Jake Shannon's Catch Wrestling videos and am very impressed with them. I'm a BJJ guy but feel my game has improved tremendously by incorporating Catch Wrestling moves I have learnt from puchasing BJJ Fanatics products from the likes of Jake Shannon and also Neil Melanson.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻great video
super creative approach
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Surprisingly easy and doable for a noob like me

Awesome techniques for take downs and easy step by step instructions. A good video to go over and have in your arsenal of moves
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Excellent!
Lots of unique takedowns shown here that I have not seen from anyone else.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻it's strange but it works!
the video is really good. it shows a lot of uncommon stuff for bjj guys, but they actually work. lot of "lateral thinking" here... but it's perfect if your goal is to surprise the opponents.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Catch Wrestling Takedowns
Jake Shannon shows some great CACC takedowns. What Jake shows in this video is straight out of the Great Billy Robinson and Karl Gotchs playbook. Love it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻If you ain't never heard of Jake Shannon, you are missing out.
This is one of my favorite instructionals. I always love to hear Jakes knowledge on the history of American/European grappling and catch wrestling, but he is legit technician too! He covers some more dynamic takedowns(like throws), how to drill them safely, and how to execute them in a way that puts less stress on your body. His version of these moves decreases the chance of injuring your opponent(if that is your intention), and takes some momentum out of the movement, so your opponent can't scramble top position after the throw. This was a game changer for me, because I would never even try throws or drops in training, because I was afraid that I would hurt my training partners(accidentally spiking someone on their head) or myself(back issues). But Jake shows how to do these techniques relying more on control and leverage, rather than dynamic athleticism. Jake and his partner do a great job of taking the time to explain things conceptually, while giving you a multitude of techniques. Some of these are more high percentage than others(fireman's carry, lateral drop, hype/uchimata, low single), but all the weird ones are super cool too(and couple of them actually work WAY better than you'd expect). The intense grunting that catch wrestlers engage in is also always amusing. You can't go wrong with this one.

Amazing eye to detail and instructional love it
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Recommended for all levels
Great instructional for all levels. And really helpful for BJJ., Ll & MMA too... And yes, fancy technique names😎
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome takedown supplementation
Jake Shannon is an OG of Catch. He has been promoting Catch as catch can forever, and really knows his stuff inside and out. For anyone looking to improve their takedown game that isn't standard Freestyle Wrestling or Judo, please check this one out. You won't regret it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great techniques
Great instructional. The techniques are well taught and easily implemented. The instructional provides an "off the shelf" takedown game and is great for those less confident in takedowns of those who are tall/mobile and need practical techniques that don't require speed and agility.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great instructional dvd!
Great instructional dvd!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Arm Drag Counter and Catch Arm Drag Review And Catch Wrestling Testimonial
I will give you a teaser technique review without giving away the contents. When you see how a catch wrestlers counter an arm drag in this premium instructional, you will quickly invite your training partners to arm drag you because their backs will soon hit the mat. I have even figured out that I can use the catch counter to the arm drag to hit the Gazoni on the ground. After you see the inherent flaw in the traditional arm drag, you will then be taught the catch arm drag which is single leg city. Don't get me started with the catch Kouchi Gake when your opponent tries to straighten their leg in the single then the baseball slide if they sprawl and finally you get to see how a catch wrestler employs the dragon screw which is certainly less dramatic looking than the pro wrestling version, but it is uber effective. What I have just spit out in my snippet synopsis does not cover the half of the information imparted in this DVD. Please bring back Jake Shannon and Sam Kressin for more! I would also be highly interested in purchasing a release from Yuko Miyato with a translator if you wonderful people at BJJ Fanatics could pull that off. Anything from that Billy Robinson line!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Catch Wrestling Takedowns by Jake Shannon
Excellent video. Full of great details for catch wrestling. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing
Fantastic intro to catch wrestling ! Recommend for any catch wrestlers or bjj guys
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I wish there was catch wrestling near me
I love jiu-jitsu, don't get me wrong, but when I think about the various grappling sports, catch wrestling is the ruleset that is most interesting to me. I love seeing products like this that have an interest in catch-style rulesets - in addition to the martial philosophies behind catch. I hope this leads to more catch-based content here in the future!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Instructional - Carrying on the CACC Legacy
As an avid fan of CACC style grappling I was immediately interested when I first saw this video was being released. Unfortunately CACC is an under-appreciated form of grappling but has a lot of useful techniques that can be incorporated into a well rounded grappling skillset. The relative scarcity of resources and dedicated schools/instructors compared to BJJ means that there is a risk of losing some of this knowledge so instructionals such as this one are exceptionally valuable. Luckily the contents of the video live up to this responsibility. Jake and Sam go through the techniques in detail and share lots of finer points that really help illustrate some of the key differences between CACC takedowns vs other grappling forms. Their reverence in carrying on the lessons from mentor Billy Robinson is evident as is their passion for the art form. Whatever grappling martial art you train in you will find something of value in this video that you will be able to give yourself an edge. This is easily one of my favourite instructionals and hopefully the first of many.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Thanks Jake for keeping catch alive
Legit billy Robinson style catch wrestling. I can't recommend enough. Jake and Sam give details into Billy's catch philosophy. Thanks for sharing this information so it doesn't become lost.
