OverviewCatch grappling emerged as a wrestling style during the 19th century, predominantly in Great Britain, before expanding its sphere of influence to encompass the United States and other nations. It is a variant of submission wrestling in which techniques from submission grappling, Greco-Roman wrestling, and traditional folk wrestling are incorporated. In lieu of submitting opponents to the mat, catch wrestling places an emphasis on submission and control techniques as means of victory. In contrast to contemporary Olympic wrestling, which generally imposes restrictions on grappling techniques and holds below the waist, catch wrestling affords a more extensive array of maneuvers, such as chokes, holds, and joint locks. Traveling carnivals and circuses historically popularized catch wrestling by pitting skilled wrestlers against all challengers for cash or rewards. It subsequently impacted the evolution of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mixed martial arts (MMA), and professional grappling. Crucial elements of catch grappling consist of: - Joint holds: To control and submit opponents, techniques such as arm bars, wrist locks, and leg locks are frequently employed. - Chokes and strangles: Catch wrestlers utilize a multitude of techniques to obstruct the ventilation or blood flow of their adversaries, ultimately resulting in their submission. - Holds and hooks: Catch wrestlers exert control over their opponents and create opportunities for submission through the use of an extensive variety of holds and positions. - Ground grappling: Catch wrestling predominantly transpires on the ground, where competitors concentrate their efforts on attaining positional dominance and attempting submissions. Due to its efficacy in mixed martial arts (MMA) and submission grappling competitions, catch wrestling has experienced a resurgence of interest in recent years and maintains a devoted fan base among grappling devotees.
