I’ve been seeing catch wrestling showing up in WMA circles as a way to develop the wrestling skills presented in historic European fight manuals. I’ve recently been talking with an acquaintance who’s really into catch wrestling about teaching some introductory lessons to a WMA sword group I practice with.
This was a great interview with some very cool information.
Thanks for another amazing show.
That’s pretty awesome. Many thanks for the comment – we had a helluva time as well! 🙂
