What They're Saying About Tony.
"The Gold Standard. Full Stop."
I have known Tony for three decades, and when we first met up and trained together, it was an immediate fit. His approach to catch wrestling didn't just complement what I was doing — it transformed it entirely. His terminology, principles, and mechanics blended seamlessly with my own, proving that true martial effectiveness speaks one universal language.
Tony's Catch is the absolute best I have ever seen in my 40+ years in the martial arts world. Beyond his unmatched knowledge, he is a top man, a true friend, and someone who always strives to help others reach their potential. If you want the real deal, Tony is the gold standard.
"The Missing Piece: Where My Grappling Finally Clicked"
Coming from a background in Judo and BJJ, I always struggled to bridge the gap between what I knew and what actually held up under real pressure. The moment I started studying Tony's material, everything changed. His principles don't just add a few new techniques — they rebuild the way you think about grappling from the ground up. Simply put, Tony is one of the best coaches you will ever learn from.
"My Mind Is Blown: The Missing Pieces I Never Knew I Was Missing"
I was never a grappling guy — I was convinced my boxing and kickboxing would carry me. Then I got introduced to Tony's material, and it completely changed my mind. His instruction became my absolute go-to. What I've learned from him will stick with me for a lifetime. Thank you, Tony — you're the best in the business.
"Tony Opened My Eyes: The Masterclass Of Absolute Domination"
I started Catch Wrestling 35 years ago after a background in high school wrestling. After years of going nowhere, I discovered Tony Cecchine — and everything changed. Tony opened my eyes to what's possible when you learn from a true master who knows exactly what he's talking about. Within months of digging into his material, I was handling my training partners with ease. Plain and simple: Tony is the real deal.
"The Flow Makes It Ridiculously Easy To Implement"
I especially like the flow. Tony's no-gi mechanics immediately followed by Shawn's gi execution makes this system ridiculously easy to implement in sparring.
"Phenomenal Instruction, Step By Step"
You and Shawn spell it out step-by-step. I always struggled with Achilles locks — now the mechanics make complete sense. Phenomenal instruction.
