Classes
Catch Wrestling:
Catch-as-Catch-Can is defined as “using or making due with whatever means are available”. Hundreds of years old, it originated in Lancashire England and its dominance in matches against other wrestling styles gained worldwide notoriety around the mid 1800’s. During this same time it found its way to North America via immigrants and world travelers and became the top sport in America by the turn of the 20th century. This grappling art is comprised of takedowns, throws, ground based wrestling rides, breakdowns and transitions combined with a surplus of excruciating submission holds. The term “No Holds Barred” originated with Catch Wrestling, as there are no illegal submissions, holds, pins or takedowns, which makes it extremely effective and efficient for both combat sports and self defense.
Luta Livre:
Luta Livre was created by Euclydes “Tatu” Hatem in Rio de Janeiro. Hatem was one of the greatest Catch Wrestlers that ever lived and remained nearly undefeated throughout his career.Luta Livre is a Brazilian No-Gi Submission Grappling art based primarily on Catch Wrestling with a dose of Old School ground based Judo. Euclydes “Tatu” Hatem began teaching Catch Wrestling techniques to others in Rio de Janeiro in 1927 while experimenting with some of his own innovative techniques.
