CATCHCON 2026:
Difficulty Isn't a Problem — It's the Point.
Build an Antifragile Grappler in Just 3 Days - Even If You've Never Trained Catch Wrestling Before
May 1-3, 2026 in Las Vegas - We don't sell colored belts. We sell reality. CATCHCON is a forge: controlled stress (hormesis), deliberate exposure (mithridatism), and gold-line repair (kintsugi) that turns injuries, losses, and doubt into competitive dominance. Safety theater breeds brittle athletes. Intelligent danger produces champions.
Blow through those plateaus in your grappling game. Stop watching others win and earn that right for yourself! CATCHCON 2026 will DEMOLISH your training barriers and help you master the King of Sports - Catch Wrestling.
Register TodayThe Gold-Belt Standard
The Problem:
Most martial arts belts are participation optics. Scars are status. At CATCHCON, you'll leave with skills, certifications, a ledger of hard lessons, and a body that tells the truth. Remember, the only color belt that matters is GOLD, and we've brought the Gold Standard to you in Fight City Las Vegas; real combat sport tech to help you dominate your goals!
The Solution:
CATCHCON 2026: Total immersion with proven coaching, cutting-edge techniques, real competition, and a supportive community of champions!
