catch wrestling
Catch wrestling is a style of Folk wrestling that was developed and popularised in the late 19th century by the wrestlers of traveling carnivals who incorporated submission holds, or "hooks", into their wrestling to increase their effectiveness against their opponents. Catch wrestling derives from a number different styles, the English style of Lancashire Catch as Catch Can Wrestling, Irish Collar and elbow, Greco Roman Wrestling, styles of the Indian subcontinent such as Pehlwani and Iranian styles such as Varzesh e Pahlavani.
Famous practitioners of Catch Wrestling: Dan Severn, Frank Shamrock, Josh Barnett, Ken Shamrock, Randy Couture
