Hey xaos here, as some of you may or may not know I've been researching pro wrestling's history because I plan to write an essay and post it here on Yamchaa's world (of course I got his permission) on the history of pro wrestling and it's connection to mixed martial arts. I've started to uncover some real interesting stuff. So right now I'm going to leave you with a preview of things to come.
This first video is a list of some of the top moves employed by Karl Gotch a professional wrestler from way back, and also a real martial artist who used the style pro wrestling is based off of Catch As Catch Can Wrestling. Yes, even though professional wrestling is staged all (or a lot rather) of those moves you see are inspired by a real style.
This next video is a video of Billy Robinson a student of Catch wrestling master Billy Riley teaching people about the shin lock. A very interesting video and real cool for showing how those moves can be used in real life.
