"This is the best video on armbars available. Nothing, repeat nothing I have ever seen comes close to the level of technique displayed here. It has changed the way a lot of people now approach submissions. This is the benchmark!"

"Tony, you are a dangerous man. I felt sorry for the guys in this video......ouch!!"

Bill T.

Tony Pappas

"What a terrific video! It covers the fundamentals and it enters into strategies that I would never have thought of. Just the way Tony teaches to slip punches was worth it for me, but add in Bruce's stuff and you just can't go wrong. This is really great stuff."

Tony Pappas

J.C.

“After seeing Tony Cecchine demonstrate the holds of catch wrestling, it's hard to see anyone else's performance in the same light.”

Online Quote, J.C.

Online Video Review

"While I am familiar with Leg Locks and have been taught numerous variations on the Achilles and heelhook by various instructors I have never seen the positions that Tony demonstrates. Tony's body and leg positioning is such that he completely controls his opponent the whole time he is applying the leg lock, from entry to finish."                           

Online Video Review

Ed Spezio

"What's so great about this tape is that I can actually do all of the exercises, albeit not even close to the level you'll have us attain. These are functional and are a serious threat to that roll of fat around my middle. The plyometrics is what's needed with me. I have to be pushed. This tape does that in spades."

Ed Spezio

Tim Hogan

"I received the Seminar Series as part of the Titanium Package. I am speechless at what I saw. I learned so much. Like Tony promised, I am no longer stuck on the bottom. I no longer fall victim to the B.S. that being on the bottom is superior. Tony's Catch Wrestling is what's superior. it's truly changed the way I think and fight."   

Tim Hogan

Russ Walker

"In this day and age of hype and exaggeration, Tony has shut up a lot of people. When I witnessed his curls on this tape I knew that this man knows what he's talking about....in all arenas. It is astonishing the power he possesses and thankfully by applying his exercises, I have now added 35 pounds to my curl in 6 weeks."
