Lub Martial Nyuas Podcast
I was recently honored to be a guest on Lub Martial Nyuas Podcast. Tsheb loj thauj neeg Rene Driefuss thiab Matt Peters tau excellent hosts. Kuv yeej enjoyed kuv lub sij hawm rau lawv podcast.
Peb hais txog ib tug ntawm kuv phau ntawv, Gotch vs. Hackenschmidt: Lub qhov yuam kev uas ua thiab puas tseeb kev Wrestling Miskas in particular. Txawm li cas los, we spoke in general about the history of catch-as-catch-can or catch wrestling in the United States.
Catch wrestling originated in the carnivals as a way to keep from losing to a local, skilled amateur wrestler, who wouldn’t normally be familiar with submission holds.
I did make one error in the podcast, when I opined about the development of catch in England. Catch wrestling in England may predate the emergence of the style in the United States. Catch existed in the Lancashire area as early as 1856. It definitely wasn’t brought back to England by the English wrestlers, who came to the United States in the 1880s. I don’t know what I was thinking but did want to correct this error.
