"A pictorial history of submission"


So, THIS is what Josh Barnett trains in? "Catch" Wrestling.


...and I thought Jiu-Jitsu was MODERN?!

A GREAT thread!

It's funny to see 'the twister' and so many of the moves being marketed as new to submission wrestilng in these old pics.

I wonder if we'll ever see an old pic of a gogo?

seen this long ago but always cool seeing traditional moves.

I don't think so...I believe Antonio Schembri invented it in the late 90's as an alternative to his omoplata set-up.

the twister is actuaull called a guillotine or a cross-face guillotine in catch wrestling i used to do it in amatuer wrestling all the time its a great move and very painful
