I'm not sure the younger generation appreciates what they are getting here: Erik Paulson is a walking encyclopedia of submissions. He may be the most talented instructor alive today when it comes to submissions. If you are lucky enough to train with him, consider yourself very lucky!
Eric demonstrates the main reasons why I couldn't gravitate to BJJ fully, there isn't anything vicious about it, their mindset is about too many rules, etiquette; what is allowed/not allowed; it is too sportive in nature, far removed from what an actual, vicious fight on the ground can be. It is too sterile, little understanding of crushing, pressure, etc, for all practical purposes it is basically handicapped, watered down version of something that purports to be about groudfighting. The style of Catch I learned is very similar to what Eric demonstrates here: pain, pressure, crushing, wrenching, putting your opponent into the most uncomfortable positions imaginable, never letting them get set or strategize their next move. What my instructor used to call "disturbing the mind. RIP Larry.
Great Coach Paulson, I will Always thank you for your teachings, even if only on video. I could train with your student Mike Acevedo in Barcelona few years ago and it was precious🙏💪👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥋🥊
Eric Paulson is so underrated! I took a seminar with him about 18 years ago at the Shark Tank in Rancho Cucamonga. I thought he was a genius back then. He's probably forgotten more about fighting than most of us will ever know.
Used to teach this stuff in my Ju-Jitsu club back in the 90s. Then again, this was before BJJ and the hipster culture that came with it. My favourite is the points is on the inside of the leg, just above the knee, attacked with the heel of the hand - it ruins people's guard.
This is exactly how I teach. I say, " if you want to join a country club join bjj. If you want to be tough, learn how to fight and take $hit, learn catch ".
A lot of anti-BJJ comments here.. Did y'all forget that Erik Paulson is a blackbelt under Rickson? He did BJJ before he did Catch. The man is a grappling master and as such he will learn from any grappling style.
CSW, Where can we buy the full video? If we must be a member ok. What is name of video in the membership library because there are 100's of videos in there
I rolled with couple of visiting Brasilian bjj black belts and since I do a lot of trutling they both stuck their elbows in my back to elicit some reaction but as an ex judoka I did not give in since this is my resting position. Bjj guys use all kinds tricks on you when no one is watching... especially if you happen to be heavyweight white belt. I'm sure if I did it to them they'd flip and try to teach me some high moral code which they don't adhere to.
@@เด็กพเนจร-ฝ4ษ The complaining started from my Shin Riding, and kinda build up from there. I was destroying everyone's shins when they tried to play Butterfly guard on the bottom. But what really ticked the box was exactly this Elbow-on-back tsubo point. A guy Turtled to avoid my Guard Pass, so naturally I established a heavy Top Ride and proceeded to elbow his nerve. He screamed/roared out loud while arching his back, catching everyone's attention. I finished him with a Face Lock. The coach thought my style was too brutal, so after the class he walks up to me, and politely tells me that "I can see your style is a bit different. Perhaps you should look for another school to express yourself.". Kinda sucks.
@@เด็กพเนจร-ฝ4ษ The funny thing was, I wasn't even being brutal (from a Catch wrestling point of view). No Knee-on-neck or -sternum type of holds, or manipulating nose type of RIPs. And even though I'm only 65 kg, I wasn't even using my full bodyweight; exactly to avoid hurting their feelings.

Erik Paulson is not only a good fighter, but also has a teaching gift. Rare!

id love a full year every day being trained by eric what a coach
Every mma fighter should be training with this guy
This is exactly how I teach. I say, " if you want to join a country club join bjj. If you want to be tough, learn how to fight and take $hit, learn catch ".
Absolutely, can't overstate that enough.
👍👍👍!
Brutal!

This dood dangerous bro fr
👍👍👍

Hey Erick I train at combative unlimited and we have a semester with you soon hopefully I see ya soon
That was the mat 🤣
Wish you had a school in NJ
Is there a csw dvd where this and more techniques like this are covered?
You would not get kicked out of my school for using it. We use it in Japanese Jujutsu to create space.
Applying pain to make a gain is allowed.
The diamond shape is the traps the rhomboids are shaped like a rhombus....hence the name.
Tsubo on the back:
Is this ok in LutaLivre?
This highly welcomed in any real Catch gym. Period.
I don't think you'd get kicked out of a jiu jitsu school for that. 🤔
Hilarious

Haha BJJ can be kinda snobby. This stuff is legit and brutal.
Far superior to Jiu Jitsu
Boxing Works, Shoot Wrestling, Hermosa Beach, $10 a class anyone?
Martin Scott Martinez Jennifer Walker Kimberly
Sure it was the mat😂😂😂
👍🏼🫡
They'd really kick you out of a BJJ school for this? What wussy shit lol. Fighting is fighting
I've also been thrown out of jiu-jitsu school for this. Catch wrestling is not for everyone.
@@kallepikku4991 like just the elbow on back? Or the cross face? What was the move that did it?

@@kallepikku4991 very cool. Do you know any videos or what the move is called to destroy shins when someone is playing butterfly guard?
Really? With a zipped up hoodie? Seriously?! Easy to do on a cooperating limp opponent. So, what's up with the zipped up hoodie?
