The double wristlock — known in BJJ as the Kimura — is usually taught as a submission. Josh Barnett flips that idea on its head.

  • In Championship Catch Wrestling: The Defensive Double Wristlock, UFC legend, catch wrestling icon, and BJJ Fanatics best-seller Josh Barnett reveals how the double wristlock can be used as a powerful defensive position, not just a finish
  • Drawing directly from authentic catch wrestling, Josh shows how this world-famous hold becomes a hub for control, survival, reversals, sweeps, and brutal submissions.
  • Instead of chasing the Kimura and losing position, Josh teaches you how to build your entire defensive game around it — shutting down attacks, reversing momentum, and turning bad spots into winning ones

What Will You Learn?

The double wristlock — known in BJJ as the Kimura — is usually taught as a submission. Josh Barnett flips that idea on its head.

In Championship Catch Wrestling: The Defensive Double Wristlock, UFC legend, catch wrestling icon, and BJJ Fanatics best-seller Josh Barnett reveals how the double wristlock can be used as a powerful defensive position, not just a finish. Drawing directly from authentic catch wrestling, Josh shows how this world-famous hold becomes a hub for control, survival, reversals, sweeps, and brutal submissions.

Instead of chasing the Kimura and losing position, Josh teaches you how to build your entire defensive game around it — shutting down attacks, reversing momentum, and turning bad spots into winning ones.

This is a deep, conceptual approach that blends old-school catch wrestling with modern grappling, giving you tools most BJJ players never see.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to use the double wristlock as a defensive framework, not just a submission

  • Catch wrestling–based details that radically change how you apply the Kimura

  • Using the double wristlock to stop pressure, shut down passes, and control stronger opponents

  • Defensive entries from common bad positions

  • Sweeps and reversals that come directly from wristlock control

  • Transitions between submissions while maintaining dominant leverage

  • How to force reactions and create openings instead of chasing finishes

  • Why the double wristlock is one of the most versatile tools in all of grappling

Why This Course Is Different

  • Taught by Josh Barnett, UFC heavyweight champion, catch wrestling legend, and proven instructor

  • A rare look at true catch wrestling concepts adapted for modern BJJ

  • Focuses on defense, control, and transitions, not just submissions

  • Ideal for grapplers who want to be dangerous even when they’re on the back foot

Who This Is For

  • BJJ practitioners who already use the Kimura and want to level it up

  • Grapplers who struggle defensively and want reliable answers under pressure

  • Catch wrestling fans looking for authentic, battle-tested techniques

  • Anyone who wants to turn defense into offense using leverage instead of speed or strength

If you want to stop treating the Kimura as a one-shot submission and start using it as a system, Josh Barnett shows you how — the way champions have done it for generations.
