About Scientific Wrestling

The sport of catch-as-catch-can wrestling is both an alternative and complement to other popular combat sports like Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, and Amateur Wrestling.

The first of its kind organization, founded by Jake Shannon, Scientific Wrestling was established in 2003 as an independent association of grappling and Catch Wrestling practitioners, historians, and enthusiasts.

Some of the all time greats in the sport of wrestling including Olympic champions, Mixed Martial Arts champions, and World-Record Holders, as well as grassroots level practitioners and enthusiasts, have shared and supported Jake's vision for the sport of catch-as-catch-can.

Since its inception, Scientific Wrestling has expanded worldwide and has made available educational and competition opportunities that were once scarce or otherwise unavailable, in addition to inspiring scores of others to follow our lead.
