Catch has a lot to offer BJJ practitioners. Nelson's are solid techniques with many possibilities.
Welcome to Nelson county
I’ve been working on this with a friend over the last few months and I highly recommend this for any grappler, the amount of great turnovers to submissions is crazy. My BJJ and Judo clubs guys can’t rely on turtle so save them nowdays. I’ll be working more Catch and more Jake Shannon stuff as it’s just so efficient.
Excellent!
Started adding catch wrestling to my grappling years ago and have loved it. This is an excellent breakdown and easy to follow.

Ive been looking using nelsons as a control point in my game and this series helped fill in those gaps!
Great for controlling opponent
Great instructional to learn how to control a body. Very good revision on how and where to go with the nelson. Some finishes maybe be a little hard in a jj class.
five stars
a great instructional, would highly recommend.
Very good teacher
Good instructional for top player and for people who like snap down. Jake Shannon technics are very effective and straightforwards and you dont need a specific ability or body type to do them correctly.
C.J.
Jake does a great job of breaking down concepts. Catch is a bit more aggressive compared to BJJ so some of your opponents may not appreciate it.
Amazing content on control

Nelson family catch wrestling holds
He is very knowledgeable and is as well-rounded as I thought he was about cat dressing among other things great address very informative. Glad I bought the tape.
Simple but effective.
Great stuff for submission grappling.
The Nelson is far too overlooked in BJJ
Jake Shannon's approach to using the Nelson as a control outside of folk/freestyle and into general grappling will confound people you face on the mats if they only know boilerplate GJJ or BJJ. Solid technique!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Good instruction, alot of instructing

Top-notch
What can you say? You will learn everything about the Nelson holds. I'm still trying to implement some moves into my game. I think you can't go wrong with Jake.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Amazing Nelson Family Holds are Absoulte Gold!
Catch Wrestling has a lot of gold that is truly effective in BJJ and MMA. The Nelson Family is one of them, Been using a lot of the material that Jake Shannon has shown in the instructional and it works like a charm! I highly recommend buying this course! You can be quite creative with it as you can use it in MMA, BJJ gi, and no-gi settings!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fundamental Stuff
Just finished my first run-thru of this material yesterday--This was a good, but less useful than I'd hoped. They clearly describe the variety of Nelson holds and a technique or two from each. They are very weak on entries / set ups (which would've been useful since most opponent's are careful not to let you jam an arm in their armpit). I also do not recall them clearing up what would make one type of Nelson better than another for a type of situation or to get a specific outcome. I had been working through Garry Tonon's "Habits for Highly Effictive Jiu Jitsu" and in Tonon's section on leverage, he explains the theories of how levers and fulcrums apply to submissions (but not to Turns). I went into this Nelson Course hoping Jake Shannon would explain the how's and whys of leverage for Turns. He does not. It is not that sort of course. It's just a collection of decent tutorials on Nelsons and some related holds.
Fantastic stuff
Great stuff I’m already a big fan of Nelsons and use them with quite a bit of success in my game already. This is gunna help me up my level and make my nelsons even better.

A must have for grapplers of any style. Jake does an excellent job and the concepts are easily applied.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻good explanation on techniques that
good explanation on techniques that we don't cover in regular bjj class
CaCC Nelson's
Jake Shannon's Catch Wrestling Nelson instructional is extremely valuable for grapplers and MMA fighters of any style. These are high percentage moves that are rarely scene and only used by the best.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Jake's a nice guy, great teacher, eternal optimist - Catch As Catch Can with the Nelson Family
The Nelson Family course is a great opportunity to those who might not have a wrestling background to begin to learn techniques that they might not normally come across in a BJJ setting. So it's very nice to be able to have exposure to different styles of grappling. If you're a wrestler who's new to submission grappling you can learn something here as well. Your grappling, your personal grappling style is an outward expression of your own individuality much like your finger print it's unique, I can't encourage people strongly enough to exit their comfort zone and to entertain different ways of grappling that they might not have previously considered. This is a great course, Jake explains himself and what he's teaching very well. Give it a shot!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great stuff
Nice series that all grapplers should be familiar with.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Nelson Holds
Nelsons are unbelievably valuable and very underused. These techniques are great in MMA and in submission wrestling. Nelsons are great for standup grappling, against the cage (see Barnett vs Mir) and on the ground.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very Interesting
Very interesting information and Jake presents it in a very detailed way. Would definitely recommend
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Decent content
Decent content
Really great series that all
Really great series that all grapplers should be familiar with. Jake has a ton of knowledge and is a good teacher. I'm glad I bought this one.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Nelsons for Bjj
Jake Shannon and his Co.s deliver a general and deep insight into the four general Nelson Holds. They give a great understanding of the techniques and hoe to aply the levers acurate. Their instructional is underlined with a very clear concept of what is the certain hold. How to get to the hold. How to execute it ad an pin. How to finish from there. Recommend it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻My fav BJJ FANATICS Tutorial so far
I got here because of John Danaher lesson on the Darce choke. I wanted to get better at the setup. And found this gem. The Nelson family is good to have in any martial arts practitioner tool belt. *The transition music sucks tho but who cares the content is amazing.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻great instructional
shannon has an amazing way of explaining and breaking stuff down
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻BJJGRAPPLING

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A fresh approach to control
I love the no nonsense catch style. Good to have as an extra tool in the belt.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Nelson family at its Fullest!
Coach Shannon does a fantastic job sharing techniques of the Nelson family. The instructional is very simply explained, easy to apply the steps, sequence / order and potential options, that may happen. Lastly, the extra visual perspectives are a big plus which makes this instructional worth while.
