"Wow, what a compilation. Terrific job. Jake your concept of certification regarding Catch Wrestling is a great idea." -Dick Cardinal Career Carnival Hook Wrestler

Jake is to be commended for his efforts to both preserve and spread catch-as-catch-can wrestling!" -Mark S.

"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
Scientific Wrestling Certification Reviews:
"Hey Jake,
Just returned home from the audit. I can't believe how much
stuff we covered this weekend! Billy really is a great coach and
person. And you were a great asst coach ;-)
I wrestled at West Point and started at 190 lbs my first 3 yrs. Placed 5th and 6th in the eastern regionals (EIWA- Divison I).
While I was in the Army I wrestled for the All-Army Wrestling Team and placed 2nd in the University Nationals '93 (greco- 220 lbs) and then placed 7th in the Senior Nationals '94 (Greco Roman All American- 220 lbs). Also placed 6th in the World Team Trials, Dec '95 (greco - 220).
...The way he broke down every move in minute detail was amazing. Thanks again for putting this together. I appreciate all your hard work. I look
forward to attending the next audit.

"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

"I just wanted to write and tell you what a great time I had at your [Level 1] certification. You really opened my eyes as to what can be accomplished with catch-as-catch-can wrestling. It is definitely the most superior grappling art out there. You're a great teacher and I learned a lot.
The level 2 audit was everything i expected and more. We took the concepts learned in Level 1 and went into even greater detail. They explained the major principles of Catch wrestling and gave many examples of each concept in order to solidify the idea in our heads. Top notch class. I can't wait for Level 3!!"
With unlimited gratitude,"
-Harry Yotis

"Thank you very much for the great weekend, I learned a lot of things and I really had a fun time with all you guys, I hope to be able to come back soon!!!
You guys have really made me fall in love with catch-as-catch-can, and I can't wait to learn more and keep on learning!
Thank you and all the other guys for making it such a wonderful experience for me,
Take care!"
-Mike Raho Vicenza, Italy
"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 Scientific 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." -Jesse Marez

"That was the greatest class I've ever had. Billy is awesome. His attention to detail is fantastic. I'm completely overwhelmed. I trained with top BJJ black belts for years and never had a class this good. Now, they are geniuses on the mat, but, many times the teaching skills are lacking.
I actually had a problem teaching last night because I had so much information swimming in my head! -Glenn Chang Torrence, California
