I hear all these 'bad' stories of Billy Robinson from former pro wrestlers, and I just had to search him up. This legend has done more to serve the community than the likes of Superstar Billy Graham. The fact he's been teaching since at LEAST the 50's showed he was a man of integrity and respect. Wish I was able to meet and learn from him back in his prime!
I am obviously no Billy Robinson or Erik Paulson, but I do have a black belt in judo and purple in BJJ. I have been training judo and bjj religiously for the past seven years at least 4 times, sometimes 6 days, a week. I am also a self-proclaimed 5th dan UA-cam black belt having watched 1000's and 1000's of videos, and I consider UA-cam my irreplaceable guide in the pursuit of the truth. All I wish to say is that your Catch Wrestling vids have been an eye opener. Thanks for the uploads.
dont listen to these idiots. even if u didnt train in mma the vids u post are very helpful to people learning the game. I think its great u guys do this.
John Danaher talks about having good escapes and counters so you’ll have the confidence to attack with your full potential just the same as Billy Robinson did here. I wonder if the mentality Billy Robinson mentioned of causing your opponent on the bottom as much misery as possible is why Catch Wrestling isn’t more popular. Great idea in combat but I’m guessing you’d end up with some miserable training partners that’d be happier learning BJJ.
John Danaher said that pin escapes are the first thing people should learn for grappling because if someone is scared of being stuck on the bottom they won't use their offense. Seems like Billy agreed with that lack of offense theory.
lol, funny you should ask. It's currently in the que for release. If you want the real skinny on the subject you should check out the Double Wrist Lock series with Coach Billy Robinson. But we do have something I think you'll be interested coming up within the next 4 videos. In the mean while if you wouldn't mind subscribing to our channel or better yet picking up a membership to our website, we'd really appreciate the support!
Yes. But like with everything, defense first. If they have an arm around your neck, that is not the time to use this technique. The moment you get to your knees say from bottom side cross, during the transition, it's time to stan up.
You’re securing one wrist which mitigates most offensive maneuvers. Even if your opponent tries to initiate an offensive with one arm, the sheer amount of movement would break pretty much any one arm submission attempt. As well, it’s not like you’re just going to blindly perform this technique and just forget everything else you know about grappling.
watch?v=qO0Qya-KGic watch?v=Aq7BCdUr_TQ watch?v=uT-otFiMuVE watch?v=HBIoh0MdoBE I have a more recent one from 2010 but haven't released it yet because we're working on the licensing for the music. You are 'That Guy'. We've shown you ours. Now man up and show yours. We'd love to see you post just one fight. Hell we'll settle for a grappling match. Until then... you're the fake poser.
td82394 First of all, there is no such thing a "Japanese jiu jistu". The word is only spelled that way be Brazilians, and people who don't know what they're talking about. Second, regardless of what you think about "these guys", fake or not, they are NOT Japanese jujutsu guys. Catch wrestlers, and Billy Robinson in particular, are quite separate from anything Japanese, and are quite vocal in this.
These guys are fake. I don't want to be 'that guy' but from what I gather, these guys don't train in MMA. They are Japanese Jiu Jitsu guys, which, there's nothing wrong with that, but they're making money by getting views and duping people.

I miss Billy, he was the best.

My uncle kit fox knew Mr Robinson and said he and Karl Gotch were two of the toughest in the ring.
First time seeing this video. The moment I saw the old man with the cane and talking deep I was like “Yep he’s in-charge”
dont listen to these idiots. even if u didnt train in mma the vids u post are very helpful to people learning the game. I think its great u guys do this.
So glad the material here was archive/recorded---genuine wisdom...
much respect to the old man, still teaching later generations despite his conditions!
i hope to be as 1/2 as bad ass as this guy when i'm his age.
I love his walking stick. Has a plate on the bottom to protect the mat.

I respect a lot Coach Robinson!!
Thank you for sharing these priceless videos!!!
The old master knows how to wrestle.
Priceless knowledge he has
Too bad that outside of Barnett and Sakuraba, the overwhelming majority of his students choked.
+angel666 Learn how to talk.
Thanks again. I meant to say "The Double Wrist Lock" DVD available from scientificwrestling Good Luck!
RIP Billy Robinson. A true master. Catch wrestlers are most dangerous apex predators in hand to hand combat on the planet.
hahahaha i bet if you felt one of billy robinson's neck cranks you wouldn't think it was fake.
Terrific stuff!

good stuff. it's just like when doing a barbell squat, the more perpendicular the ham is to the shin, the power you have
great technique!
aren't you the guy who posted some of the Jason Bowld vids like 4 yrs ago? haha had no idea u were into mma. that's awesome. cheers!
fantastic.

beautiful stuff.
damm bro
exactly what i thought
So lucky to be with Billy
Very very interesting 👏👏👏. And makes so much sense if you get taken down how do u get up
I wish i knew catch wrestling.
1:29 Ben Henderson in the background?
nice
They are not fake and they are an mma school a guy on my team (Team Chaos out of Salem Oregon) used to train with these guys and knows them very well.
like a BJJ modified "technical standup"
And if I'm not mistaken Sam Kressin is a BJJ black belt.
Yes. But like with everything, defense first. If they have an arm around your neck, that is not the time to use this technique. The moment you get to your knees say from bottom side cross, during the transition, it's time to stan up.
💎
sounds like batman
This looks great but what's the possibility of getting cradled vs escaping?
i like sam's shirt
that's some good gyno right there.
Big Question here: Will this standup work even when chokes/strangles are legal?
You’re securing one wrist which mitigates most offensive maneuvers. Even if your opponent tries to initiate an offensive with one arm, the sheer amount of movement would break pretty much any one arm submission attempt.

he's also a certified CACC wrestling assistant coach, and a nice guy too.
YES! BILLY! FUCK YES!
