"Wow, what a compilation. Terrific job. Jake your concept of certification regarding Catch Wrestling is a great idea." -Dick Cardinal Career Carnival Hook Wrestler
Southern California Audit run by American Shooter Dick Cardinal & Jake Shannon
"The Sport of Catch Wrestling: The Certified Catch Wrestler Handbook is a unique combination of historical information, a pictorial of authentic catch wrestling techniques, and a practical workbook. Jake is to be commended for his efforts to both preserve and spread catch-as-catch-can wrestling!" -Mark S. Hewitt Author of Catch Wrestling: A Wild and Wooly Look at the Early Days of Pro Wrestling in America

"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 SPORT 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.
- Alex Porcelli
"Jake, I just want to say thank you for your great class. Billy was amazing. He pointed out things that have never been brought to my attention. It was easy to understand and implement the adjustments into my style. What I enjoyed most, were the submissions and how they fit into my wrestling.
In my first grappling tournament, I followed the class instruction and used the double wrist lock that Billy taught to submit my opponent in my first championship match. Then, in my third place match, I used the cradle ankle crank. Both times, my opponents did not see these moves coming, and they both fit right into my natural style. I'm excited to master the other submissions taught.
"It was incredible, I really enjoyed myself. I learned a ton of new things. Catch-As-Catch-Can is a really full system and working with a master like Billy Robinson was incredible. I feel really privileged to have been a part of this program." -Jacques Abellira Former Marine Hawai'i State Super-middleweight Kickboxing Champion Chief Firearms and Defensive Tactics Instructor, City and County of Honolulu Blackbelt in Kodokan Judo, Kyokushinkai-kan Karate, and Valencia LAMECO Eskrima Instructor ranking in Krav Maga (Law Enforcement, Series I), US Navy Non-Lethal Weapons Instructor
"Thank you so much for the training all weekend. It was awesome, amazing, and it was like I got to experience training along with a history lesson. So cool!" -Jesse Kristofferson King of Catch Wrestling Western Qualifier Middleweight Champion Student Instructor, USA Shooto Association
"I'm freaking sore in every muscle of my body after the Scientific Wrestling Audit this weekend! Thanks for putting it together!!! I learned a ton of usable stuff I've never seen before." -John "Kid Justice" Fabbricatore

"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

"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
