Catch Wrestling

Catch wrestling, also known as catch-as-catch-can, is a submission-oriented wrestling style that developed in 19th-century England and the United States, notably in Lancashire, blending folk wrestling traditions with pinning and submission holds. It served as a major influence on modern professional wrestling, amateur folkstyle wrestling, and submission grappling arts used in mixed martial arts. Practitioners train in joint locks, chokes, and control positions, and the style has seen a resurgence through modern MMA-oriented gyms.
