Catch-as-Catch-Can is defined as “using or making due with whatever means are available”. Jiu-jitsu translates to “the gentle art” and Judo translates to “the gentle way”. Catch as Catch Can Wrestling is regarded throughout the world as “the violent art,” as it is considered the most aggressive of these popular styles. It is also the father of Olympic Freestyle Wrestling (once commonly known as Amateur Catch as Catch Can) and Collegiate Folkstyle Wrestling.

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.

At Snake Pit U.S.A. we proudly carry on the history and tradition of the legendary Snake Pit name here in the United States alongside our affiliates around the world. We have combined the American Catch Wrestling philosophy of “submission from any position” and merged it with the original “old school” violent takedowns, and painful wrestling techniques and submissions from Wigan, England, the birthplace of Catch as Catch Can Wrestling.
