The modern revival of the sport of CACC is still in its early days and it's hard to find the real deal. That's why we created this program. Scientific Wrestling's certification has set the standard for quality since 2006. From UFC and Pride veterans to main event WWE Superstars and everywhere in between, we've been proven to guide grapplers of all skill levels to the next level of their game.
Don't fall for...
Watered-down, cookie-cutter knock-offs
Kayfabe with little-to-no verifications of claims
Expensive "schools" wasting your money with outrageous "up-front" tuition
Mediocrity masquerading as authenticity"
"This is Catch as Catch Can in its purest form Head Coach Jake Shannon has picked up right where the legends have left off representing today's Catch Wrestling community with honor pride & integrity. Jake's commitment to carrying on the tradition of such legends as Karl Gotch & Billy Robinson is unmatched & by far the most reputable source for classic Catch Wrestling. Scientific Wrestling teaches tradition, supports innovation while focusing on the evolution of the sport making them the undisputed CACC leader."

"Scientific wrestling is very welcoming to people of all skill levels and goals, whether that is to be a professional fighter, a coach or a police officer learning to subdue someone without needing excessive force. Jake is an amazing coach and is always happy to answer any questions. He's very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience within the art to be able to answer those questions. Learning from him at scientifc camps has definitely helped with my game and I look forward to working with him and the other coaches."

"There are few in the US with the knowledge of true Catch Wrestling. Jake Shannon's knowledge is unparalleled, thanks to a lineage back to the orignal Riley' Gym, via his learning with legends Billy Robinson & Karl Gotch. From the clear & detailed explanation, to the unique and effective techniques, Scientific Wrestling was the best investment I've ever made."

The Scientific Wrestling CCACC Program requires the ability to "Do It Again"; i.e., to meet curriculum performance benchmarks during evaluations after earning the minimum hours of verified training at both Scientific Wrestling CCACC Camps Training Camps.
Upon the completion of 250 units (and Scientific Wrestling approval) participants will earn the Assistant Coach designation.
After 500 units, participants will have earned Scientific Wrestling's full Coach credential.
Each 3-day camp counts for 25 units toward the total requirement (so after 10 completed camps and approval you will earn Asst. Coach designation, after 20 you earn Full Coach).
You must attend at least one CCACC training camp per year to maintain perishable skills and validation. All participants must be 18 years or older, be in generally good health, and agree to hold themselves solely responsible for any and all injuries sustained while learning CACC or partaking in the CCACC program. As a CCACC candidate it will be expected that both you and your athletes are respectful, punctual, and hygienic with regards to any and all grappling related activities. Also, as a participant in the CCACC you will be expected to be an attentive and active student/coach, to communicate openly, to attend all relevant trainings, to learn the given material, and to practice more often than you don't. Other than that, there are no other requirements beyond paying your dues and putting in the work.
In the past, the only way to earn units was to attend camps. However, Covid19 has allowed me the chance to improve our certification process. In addition to earning units toward certification via camp attendence, the following are transferable toward certification:
