Driven by adoption from MMA figures like Kazushi Sakuraba, Josh Barnett, and the Shamrock brothers, catch wrestling is experiencing a documented resurgence within combat sports, according to Evolve MMA. Unlike submission-only grappling systems, the style incorporates pins alongside submissions and takedowns, offering wrestlers a more complete strategic toolkit.
Sponsored by Scientific Wrestling, CATCHCON 2026 training camp is designed for serious grapplers, wrestlers, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts athletes, and coaches to “get forged” under real pressure. The three-day experience offers a structured platform backed by figures who shaped modern MMA for individuals seeking skill enhancement, competitive validation, or coaching credentials. The Catch Wrestling Coaching and Macebell certifications signal technical competency and open pathways for coaching income after the event.
Attendees will train under a coaching lineup that includes UFC Hall of Fame's Pat Miletich, who has trained 11 MMA world champions, and Frank Shamrock, a five-time undefeated UFC champion with titles across multiple organizations. The curriculum, co-developed with legendary coach Billy Robinson and tracing lineage to Karl Gotch, positions the event as a premier global gathering delivering this instructional framework.
Additional instructors include Jake Shannon, founder of Scientific Wrestling and a blackbelt under Wade Schalles; Sam Kressin, a BJJ blackbelt; Jesse Marez, a BJJ and 10th Planet blackbelt; Luis Ojeda, a highly accomplished CACC wrestler; Gil Olivas, holding blackbelts in Judo, SAW, and BJJ; Rik Brown, a specialist in macebell conditioning; JJ Howland, a chain-wrestling expert; and Carolyn Wester, head coach at Wrestling Prep and body leverage specialist for UFC and Bellator fighters.
