INSIDE THE PIT - EPISODE 1 - Josh comes home. Check out Josh's trip to SnakePit before the Worlds!!

This is huge!! Love it

Great post., learn something new - west point ride /chest cradle @8.50 . Ouch ! Also liked billy Robinson's version of the guillotine - the grovit ! Simple setups, and great techniques which are bluddy painful!

Josh is the man

great videos - looking forward to seeing more of these

Brilliant!

I would like to thank Roy Wood, Andrea Wood, and everyone else involved very much for making this new series starting off with Josh Barnett as a special guest! I hope Matsunami Osamu of Riley's Gym Kyoto can join in on a future episode!

I'm glad catch wrestling and The Snake Pit are making such a comeback, every combat sports fan should be, there's so much potential with all of CACC's children (freestyle, American folkstyle, luta livre, MMA, and even BJJ)

Nothing new under the sun! 🌞

Great video! It’s like watching a movie / tv show! 👏🏻

The quality is superb 👌🏻

Thank you for the upload.

I came across a BJJ instructional video that was teaching the crucifix. I looked a little further and there's dozens of "BJJ Crucifix" videos.
I replied to one of them that I learned the crucifix at my AAU wrestling club in Tampa in the 60s and it was taught by my coach who learned it while wrestling in high school and college in Philadelphia in the 1930s from his coaches, catch wrestlers who had been in the sport since the late 1800s

Through that same coach, I did get to meet and learn from Billy Robinson, Karl Gotch and Ted Heath (also from Wigan) but not nearly as much as I wish I had.
This video is really well produced.
Thank you for keeping Catch as Catch Can alive.
(I'm still kicking myself for not stopping at Wigan the last time I was in the UK. At the time I had no idea the school was still going)

Josh really has the knack for keeping you engaged. Dudes a great teacher and ambassador for the sport.

Legends!

Simply loved it, keep them coming.

This content is so important! Keep it coming!

Prescott? That's the Shuck Josh .

hell yeah mate.

please keep this series going! love this stuff

❤ catch wrestling

I got to meet Billy Robinson one time. He was doing a private lesson at the nearby Air Force base. I was taking a piss in the locker room, and he came in to do the same. "Don't ever get old, lad," he said as he entered. Now I'm 40, and I understand what he meant.

Phenomenonal work guys

"They're all passed away but they're not dead cause they live on in me, everyone they worked with and everybody I give the fire to"❤️🔥 wow! Thank you for sharing and keeping Catch as catch can wrestling alive for all of us!

I am most definitely going to be using that West Point ride at bjj

Im in the Bay Area, would love to learn Catch..

Excellent Excellent Excellent ❤❤❤

The WAR Master

Josh teaches really well

I like when you wear beards Bro

100% there is no new technique, it’s all been done before. Entry evolves though.

This is so incredible. Seeing Barnett at the Mecca of it all. This being documented is incredible.

Kazushi Sakuraba - 'The Gracie Hunter' - was trained in catch wrestling by Billy Robinson.

Love to see my Coach and head of Snakepit USA on one of these, Coach Joel Bane. He has an encyclopaedia of CACC knowledge in his brain

Josh legend!!!!hall of fame

Everytime I did grappling... I close my eyes. Is this bad? I just go with feeling.

Love Josh Barnett giving back!

This is amazing! I can’t wait for more content.

The slide by was the only takedown I was good at in high school.

My home, well Leyland! My dad used to go here in the 60s

He's referring to that baseball slide of an arm drag Garcia uses. A Billy Robinson special

Roy is an amazing coach taught 3 of my kids hes a living legend always on the mat amazing job amazing gym brilliant josh coming to wigan the home of catch wrestling xxxx

question: whats the reason this style seems unable to win at the highest levels of grappling tournaments against bjj or judo stye opponents? is it the different positional strategies or how the submissions work? could a modern catch person win ADCC?

Best ever. Great vids. Keep’em comin’ 👍🏾

Love anything with Josh in it

Josh is a wealth of Catch knowledge. Him and Paulson are genius.

Smartest man that has competed in UFC

Big Tom Aspinall lives near there. Maybe Jon Jones should be studying catch.

I want to make a Catch as Catch Can club in Western Washington. Like many people, I grew up wrestling but CACC wasn't something I heard about until well into adulthood. I want to learn more, keep it alive and grow the community here.
