 Catch-As-Catch-Can   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The type of Catch-As-Catch-Can that I teach is a style of wrestling that, when compared to collegiate or freestyle, is basically "anything goes." There are takedowns, throws, slams and submission holds, which we refer to as "hooks." We believe that Catch-As-Catch-Can is the most complete style of grappling available and it isn't new.
So what happened is that all these countries brought their styles of wrestling to the U.S. and gradually, over a period of time, many of the holds and techniques from Greco-Roman, freestyle and the like were passed on.
But again, most professional wrestlers in the early days didn't know the art of hooking, and in many cases the matches were set-ups just as they are today.
