Scientific Wrestling: A Legacy of Excellence and Innovation
For nearly a quarter of a century, Scientific Wrestling has been at the forefront of preserving and promoting the art of catch-as-catch-can wrestling. Here’s how we’ve not only maintained but also expanded this rich legacy:
Unparalleled Access to Legends
- Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, and Dick Cardinal are just a few of the legends whose techniques and philosophies we’ve documented and shared.
- Our events have also been a conduit for learning from world champions in catch-derived sports like Mark Schultz, Wade Schalles, and Brandon Ruiz.
- We’ve provided insights from MMA icons like Frank Juarez Shamrock (4x undefeated UFC champion), Josh Barnett (UFC heavyweight champion), and Pat Miletich (UFC Hall of Famer, UFC Welterweight Champion, and coach to 11 World MMA Champions).
Reviving Competitive Catch Wrestling
- In 2007, we resurrected the competitive spirit of catch wrestling with the King of Catch Wrestling tournament, the first of its kind since the Alhambra Tournament in 1909. This event, with rules co-developed by Karl Gotch, has not only inspired numerous other competitions but has also become the longest-running catch wrestling tournament.
Innovating for Modern Audiences
- Shoot Pro Wrestling has been our platform to innovate catch-as-catch-can for contemporary fans, blending elements from WWE, UFC, Olympic Wrestling, and BJJ. We pioneered the first competitive tag team professional wrestling tournament, bringing a fresh twist to the sport.
Expanding Our Reach
- Our Quantum Catch Wrestling affiliate fight gym program is rapidly growing, allowing enthusiasts and professionals alike to engage with our mission of recognizing catch-as-catch-can as the true King of Sports.
The Mace Fitness Revolution
- In 2006, we launched the modern fitness mace movement with the introduction of "The Macebell" (aka "Steel Mace"), along with certification and instructional programs, revolutionizing fitness training.
Looking Ahead: CATCHCON.US
- This February, we’re hosting CATCHCON.US in Las Vegas, an event that encapsulates all our efforts and innovations, aiming to bring together the community and further our mission.
A Vision for the Future
- While many commend our achievements, I believe there’s still much to accomplish. My vision is for Scientific Wrestling to surpass the combined impact and revenues of both UFC and WWE. This journey has been supported by countless individuals who’ve seen and shared our vision. If you’re inspired to join us, we welcome your help.
The Power of Storytelling in Branding
- At Scientific Wrestling, we understand the importance of storytelling in connecting with our audience. We’ve crafted narratives that resonate with the struggles and aspirations of our community, highlighting the journey of our athletes and the transformative power of catch wrestling. This approach has not only built a loyal following but also set us apart in the competitive world of martial arts and fitness.
Leadership and Innovation
- Leadership at Scientific Wrestling is about more than just managing; it’s about inspiring and empowering others. We’ve taken the initiative to lead by example, encouraging our team to share ideas and take ownership of projects. This business philosophy has fostered an environment where innovation thrives, and every member feels valued for their contributions.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Let's continue to push the boundaries of what catch-as-catch-can wrestling can achieve! 🙏🤼♂️💪
