Check this outMy knowledge on Catch Wrestling is in the range of limited to non-existent, but I always thought it was a submission form of wrestling. Schalles doesn't really show submissions, he shows pins and set ups to pins, I imagine you could modify his techniques to submit someone, but to be honest with you if you are a BJJ guy who is trying to cross over with submissions from Catch Wrestling I don't think his DVDs would be for them. However, if you are a wrestler from Grade School up to Old Man Veterans, you can learn a tremendous amount from him.

Apparently Schalles is/was very much involved in submission wrestling. He is another USA wrestling great from that era that also competed in judo and sambo. He must be a monster grappler.
