Catch Wrestling Canada

[mad mike]

You come on here saying that he's shit and slagging him off, then saying he's even blocked you from his Facebook, seems like your bullying him to me cause he teaches up the road from you, you teach bjj he teaches catch, get over it you mug, why does 1 over your students come to me to learn wrestling ? Oh yeh cause you only do bjj and there's more to bjj in mma!

He's only blocked me so I can't see what's he's up to. Same reason he edited his posts on here "you mug". If a grown man calling someone out on the shit they've been posting is bullying then fine but I think that's a load of crap.

I don't care if someone is teaching catch, the fact it's catch doesn't make any difference. If you read all my posts you'll see that I've already covered this point. What I am saying is that this guy is nowhere near good enough to teach. If someone set up next to you who you knew your novice students could smash and knew they'd only had a week's training in whatever they were teaching, and then they told everyone what they were teaching was better while posting totally inaccurate statements about what you do teach, You wouldn't want to let people know the guy is full of crap?

So, just in case it needs to be said again: this isn't about catch, it's about a guy who is woefully under qualified teaching something he has trained for one week who has also been talking shit about bjj in general.

I.E. Nathan Leverton is having a catch wrestling seminar soon... if he then teaches the catch he learns from it nobody should have any issue with it cos the guy is a proven coach with legit credentials.

Sorry for multiple posts... I'm on my phone...

I don't care that he's in Cardiff, that's just a reason I know he's doing it. We ain't worried about student numbers or retention... we have 7 locations now and growing all the time. Competition is only gonna raise awareness too. There are other jiu-jitsu schools around and they have legit instructors... I have no issue with them.

And yeah, loads of our guys train other stuff elsewhere (with Shakey, you, Paul Jenkins, probably others). I also have a few guys who come to my lessons in Bridgend and Porth who train at other jiu-jitsu schools... what does that have to do with the subject at hand though?! Cross-training is a good thing for MMA guys, for sure.

Oh, and I never posted anything on his Facebook or the group page for the club he teaches at... so how him blocking me on there is a sign of bullying I have no idea. The only contact I've had with him on there is when he asked whether he could train with me in Llanelli and I said yes and welcomed him back.

Ok, I don't know anything about his teaching skills or grappling skills like mentioned before, I just don't want to see catch shot down in flames or this guy for trying to promote it, if he's going around Talking shit about bjj to promote his class that's not good either! Ok that's the last I'm going to say on the subject, because I'm shit at argueing and it fryes my head.

[Rob T]

Cool, I just think you've got the wrong end of the stick so to speak... I have no issue with catch or any other grappling art

[Rob T]

When are you fighting next btw dude? Your striking looked massively improved last time I saw you fight and that was ages ago.

You are obviously a stand up bloke Rob but maybe you should have said this earlier , did look a little bit like you wre targeting him for not much reason esp with david going at it too jumping in with his usual wind ups funny as he is at winding up sledge.

[Rob T]

What? I said what I knew about him straight away. I never said catch is shit, only the guy teaching. I don't talk shit about people, I only ever post stuff I know to be the truth.

What do Sledge and David's posts have to do with mine??
