Catch wrestling ends matches in ways jiu jitsu never taught you, and Joel Bane teaches it the way it is passed down at Snake Pit U.S.A., as an art instead of a sport.

Joel Bane is a Snake Pit U.S.A. catch wrestling coach and the instructor behind Catch Wrestling Skill Level 1, the course this one picks up from.

In Catch Wrestling Skill Level 2: Beginner, Bane covers ten volumes: the drills, the front headlock and the double wrist lock, takedown counters, escapes from every bad spot, the turtle, the Saturday night ride, leg attacks and attacks from side control, mount and the back.

This isn't just a pile of techniques, it's the second step of a curriculum, built to be trained in order.

Catch wrestling ends matches in ways jiu jitsu never taught you, and Joel Bane teaches it the way it is passed down at Snake Pit U.S.A., as an art instead of a sport.

Bane already laid the foundation in Catch Wrestling Skill Level 1, where he built a ten part system for people with no catch background at all. Level 2 is what comes after: the same material trained at a higher level, plus the positions and attacks that only make sense once you can hold the front headlock and the double wrist lock. Now he's giving you the rest of the beginner curriculum.

You get the drills first, then the tie ups and the takedowns off the front headlock and the double wrist lock, then the counters when someone shoots on you. From there it is escapes: side control, mount, back control, head and arm, north south. Then the turtle from both sides, the Saturday night ride against a guard puller and against closed guard, the leg attacks, and finally the attacking volumes from body scissors, side control, over under, mount and the back, closing with submission defense. This isn't just a pile of techniques, it's the second step of a curriculum, built to be trained in order.

Whether you come from wrestling, jiu jitsu or nothing at all, catch gives you a different set of answers: cranks, rides and pins that make people move so you can take the finish.

The escapes alone are worth the time. Most grapplers learn one way out of side control and one way out of mount, and Bane gives you the bridges, the sit outs and the pendulums that catch wrestlers have used for a century.

If you've ever wondered why catch wrestlers seem to be attacking even while they are stuck underneath, this is the material that builds that habit.

Learn the beginner curriculum the way Snake Pit U.S.A. teaches it, one volume at a time.
