"Dear Jake,
What you have put together is wonderful! Very insightful. You will run a great clinic and be a success. I have never seen anything like this.
We old timers learned in small, dark, dirty gyms. Or at least I did. My teachers were Frank Wolf, Ben Sherman, Speed Larance, Henry Kolhn, Jack Guy, Waino Ketonhen. Frank Wolf started teaching me at 10 years of age. I started boxing and wresting on At Shows at 16 years of age. Around 1943.
I am eighty now. I was a pro for over 43 years. Show biz, I had to learn all over again. I did it well. I worked on top all over. 5 ft 9, weight 185. I was a wrestler, fighter, and a Wild Bull rider.
Keep Punching Pal!"

Your friend,
Frankie Cain
Respected Shooter and legendary Professional Wrestler

"This certification is not just about learning the techniques and historical facts of Catch-As-Catch-Can wrestling; this is a leadership/coaching program. Our aim is to build an "army" of motivated, reputable, and competent individuals to continue the legacy of Catch-As-Catch-Can Wrestling!
Jake Shannon

"It was damn hard -- almost a right of passage! The two days of training was hard as hell, nonstop (except for some water breaks) and packed full of info. I came away feeling like all the things I learned up to that point had finally started to jell. It was a true immersion into the material. I recommend training for and participating in the audit for any serious grappler. I often find myself thinking 'why didn't I learn this years ago?'"
-Michael Long
Coach
International Guild of Danse de Rue Savate

"Hello Kris, I just wanted to write and tell you what a great time I had this weekend at your certification. You really opened my eyes as to what can be accomplished with catch wrestling. It is definitely the most superior grappling art out there. You're a great teacher and I learned a lot. With unlimited gratitude,"
-Harry Yotis

"Jake, thank you so much for letting me be a part of history. It is an honor to be a part of the rich history of Catch Wrestling. Having Dick Cardinal there was like capturing a piece of American history and meeting a legend all at the same time. What I loved about the audit is that you really have to know how to wrestle. There were no gimmicks, no tricks, no crazy moves that would never work. It was good, old fashioned, applicable wrestling. The submissions were fantastic. They all flow naturally off of technical wrestling and are easy to set up. Your diligence and respect of the past is amazing. You have created something special with Scientific Wrestling and I am proud to be a small part of it."

"Jake, Hey Jake, I am almost through the 4 volumes of the encyclopedia and it is a tremendous work on the history of wrestling. My favorite books are by Burns and from Milos to Londos, mostly because of Burns' values on hard work and clean living and the latter because of the in-depth history on wrestling. I never knew much about Muldoon so it was great to see something on him because he grew up (Belfast)about a half an hour from my town. Thanks, Jeff Hackett

Many Gems from some of the best." - Benjamin Bradley

I look forward to future volumes of The Authoritive Encyclopedia of Scientific Wrestling!!"- Bill Cogswell, Sombo Blackbelt

It is good to see you honour his legacy as he is the greatest athlete of all time. He deserves to recognized for his immortal contribution to the sport and his generosity of spirit.

"I found Jake Shannon by chance online, just as some of you may have. I went down to Venice Beach and I wasn't really sure what to expect. In my first session with Jake, I realized just how out of shape I really was. His conditioning program resulted in huge physical gains for me and a loss of 15 pounds in just an 8 week period. My weight dropped from 189 to 173, my waist dropped from 35 inches to 33 inches and I had far more energy than before. I highly recommend Jake." - Ryan Hanlon

"When I started my training with Jake I noticed that I was terribly out of shape. I was winded and fatigued but I still continued. To my surprise, I had lost a few pounds of weight. Six weeks later, I am now 40 pounds lighter and getting stronger by the day! I had to buy a new belt, and soon, new pants! Do Jake Shannon's fitness program. It is a proven winner. I know, I am the proof!" - Damien 'Woo' Salazar

"Jake's class is one of a kind. He's a terrific and very knowledgeable coach whose tough encouragement style works! I come away more confident every time." - Lori Dietzman

"Jake rules!!! not with an iron fist - but with the kind of encouragement that inspired me to get into shape... and what a surprise to discover that, after only a few sessions, I had it in me to sprint without hurling... Oh yeah - my favorite moment of bootcamp (so far): doing squats on the beach and being greeted by dophins!! so long boring gym... hello to being the best shape of my life!!!" - Mariska L.

"Jake, you are a brilliant phenomenon and an energized revolutionary. I wish I had more time to soak it up... Thanks for getting me hooked on running on the beach! " - Elli Hollands, Fashion model

"Thanks for doing great work, and thanks for reminding me the type of fighter I want to be. I'm am a big fan of pro wrestling and I forgot all about the shooters. BJJ is great, but at heart I want to be a catch wrestler." - Scott Buendia, President of Urban Warrior Incorporated
