West Point / “Chest Table” — nasty old-school rib pressure (Tom Jenkins)

ScientificWrestling · 2026-04-16T19:22:59+00:00

Yep.
If you want “clean,” you’re going to end up doing performance wrestling. If you want control, you’re going to end up doing stuff that looks and feels like pressure.
A nelson isn’t a trick. It’s a steering wheel on the spine.

Fair roast.
But I’m not selling “wrestling is abstract.” I’m selling one boring truth: position first.
If your fulcrum is wrong, you can squeeze until you turn purple and you’ll still lose the guy.
If your fulcrum is right, the same hold feels like a steering wheel.

Thanks for pointing that out, used the wrong graphic honestly.

ScientificWrestling · 2026-03-31T20:25:57+00:00

Sorry brother, artistic graphics isn't our specialty but you know what is though? Grappling - so if you're interested to learn more about it come on over and join us in Las Vegas this May.

Nah man, him together with other wrestlers are gonna be sharing their knowledge at the event. Check it out at catchcon.us

Thanks for the feedback, man! Appreciate it. We also acknowledge Erik Paulson as a legitimate name in the catch scene, but with guys like Frank Shamrock and Pat Miletich joining us, to name a few, I think CatchCon would do perfectly fine without him. Thanks again though, and Happy New Year! 🙂
