Catch Wrestling: Achieving the Double Wrist Lock Basics and More Part I: Snake Pit U.S.A. 

Holy shit this is like a manly version of bjj i do bjj but would love to do catch

I just moved to New Jersey and I can’t wait to train here. Not far away from the gym either, been wanting to come for a few years.

I love these details

Takes me back to watching Erik Paulson Neckbreaker and CSW vids. Catch Wrestling is so fun, Jui Jitsu guys never think about driving your chin or elbow into the soft spots or resting your knee on an Achilles when a guy turtles. Sometimes a little pain makes the counter less obvious.

Very interesting. Everyone who does BJJ learns these setups in the basics classes. We then assume once the hand is in the thigh, it is time to move on to something else. Perhaps we just need to add a bit more pain to the mix :).

Holy crap, a realistic use for pressure points. It's like Christmas.

I had given up on the double wrist lock because I couldn't reach my own wrist, now I feel dumb

Thanks for the content! Currently training Judo and have been reading some old school books by Mikinosuke Kawaishi and his student Moshe Feldenkrais where they still advocated neck cranks (or dislocations as it's described) , leg locks, pain/pressure points etc. There's a local group training Catch Wrestling in my area, so definitely going to incorporate a weekly session once the world gets back on track.

Never thought about hitting those pressure points even though I know they are there! Fantastic detail, sir. Love how clear and concise you are!!

Beautiful! Many thanks

such amazing instruction. thanks so much for these videos.

Thank you for sharing this. Awesome

Thank you for the video. Great step by step instruction and demonstration. 👍

Excellent tip. I love double wrist locks and will practice these for sure.

Damn i have to come back and subscribe this is amazing on so many levels

Genuinely brilliant

Luta Livre blue belt here. Thanks for the awesome instruction!

Very nice details.

felicidades los seguimos desde Monterrey México excelentisimos videos.

really good!

Catch wrestling is wonderful , I love the tecquiniques

I'm in Berlin, Germany and there's no Catch school :( I don't get the BJJ craze, Catch is where it's at for me. Thanks a lot

Very nice good stuff ,I don't see pressure points taught as much lately or as your saying sometimes it gets watered down I'm not seeing this stuff that works well better where I live In the Midwest in ar, so good stuff keep it up!

I wish there was a Snake Pit in Baltimore.

Keep up the good work guys. Catch Wrestling is very sneaky. Nice!

Debating on whether training here or in Austin at danaher or b team. All three seem like the best places to train for submissions

Nice bro

Everything from Mr. Bane is pure gold. I highly recommend his courses on SnakePit, there is also one on BJJFanatics on leg rides. Exellent clear explanations, on-point, great tips on the nuances that will make or break the technique.

I think I catch this and the inverse version as my main attack because once I get to side control I am setting up camp there until they get out by some miracle. These will help against the guys with huge arms.

It's all about that pain, about that pain. No trouble.

I work the double wrist lock in any position I can. Side mount, standing, if a guy takes my back, you name it. It’s my favorite hold, it’s also the only one I know more than a couple of ways to lock in. (I do other locks of course give me a leg I take it. Catch as catch can take what you are given is literally the name of the game). I will stop grabbing my elbow now though. I can see where you can get more torque more easily by not grabbing it.

nasty series. got to get this on Bjjfanatics!

I was wondering if you could do a video on the move called The abdominal stretch

Serious 🎉

I use to freestyle wrestle now I do bjj I wish could train like this definitely more my style

Good to rewatch this, I'm struggling to finish guys off with the keylock and I suspect it's the depth of the arm that's missing.

This dude is the best technically sound mfr out there. He earns the title COACH ...osu

Snake pit you guys have a gym that is sanctioned in Tampa but I notice very heavy bjj influences at the gym. I trust the gym since you guys approve it but is there a way to know I’m learning pure catch and not a mix of bjj and catch. Not that I don’t respect bjj but I really want to learn pure catch. I’m a law enforcement officer and I need dominate top positions, controlling tactics and effective but semi safe takedowns for my job. I’m a boxer but I really want to learn catch. Hope you see this guys and thanks for the vids

I am going to buy your entire video library. Are these included? I am looking for a comprehensive explanation of the double wrist lock.

Mr. Joel, would you mind making a new video on tips for training and conditioning for catch wrestling? I recall there was a vid that was uploaded before but it was removed recently. If a vid is not possible, can you share a link or some thoughts as to how to go about conditioning/training oneself before/during learning catch? I vaguely recall in the removed video that it wasn’t recommended to “roll” everyday for an hour due to higher risk of injury and not to cut but rather count one’s calories; can’t recall much more beyond that. Sorry for the inconvenience. I actually posted this comment somewhere but removed it because I wanted to get straight to the point. Thank you and your team for your hard work on this channel, it’s appreciated

This guys good

How many injuries are there in catch as catch can? Cause it looks absolutely brutal.

Hey brother, Do you know if there is a Place to train catch wrestling in germany, especially northern germany?

All you CACC guys are fricken big!
