?Say Uncle! is the definitive book on the history, players, and techniques of
catch-as-catch-can grappling. Catch-as-catch-can, or "catch wrestling" for
short, is the great-granddaddy of today's mixed martial arts, professional
wrestling, freestyle wrestling, and many reality-based self-defence systems.
It is a nearly lost form of Western martial art that is rich in history and
full of painfully brutal techniques. Say Uncle! traces the background of this
unique sport through America and Japan back to England and Ireland and is
chock full of exclusive interviews from legends like Karl Gotch, Billy
Robinson, Josh Barnett, and more. The technique section is fully illustrated
so readers can begin to use these powerfully effective techniques and
strategies in their grappling and mixed martial arts game. In the same vein as
Total MMA (ECW), Say Uncle! obliterates the myths of the roots of modern mixed
martial arts and shows that today's WWE and UFC have a lot more in common than
just Brock Lesnar. The catch-as-catch-can roots of modern MMA and pro-
wrestling are well documented but little known, until now.
