Scientific Wrestling is opening registrations for one of the largest catch wrestling training camps globally, CATCHCON, which is set to take place in Las Vegas in May 2026.
-- Scientific Wrestling has announced CATCHCON 2026, a three-day catch wrestling immersion training camp that brings together some of the most influential figures in combat sports history. Scheduled for May 1-3, 2026, at the Aniciete Training Club in Las Vegas, Nevada, the event offers grapplers of all skill levels direct access to UFC Hall of Famers and MMA champions who have shaped the modern landscape of the sport.

The coaching roster features combat sports legends, including UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich, who has trained 11 MMA world champions through Miletich Fighting Systems, and Frank Shamrock, a champion across multiple major MMA organizations, including the UFC. The lineup also includes Scientific Wrestling elite coaches Sam Kressin, Jesse Marez, Luis Ojeda, Gil Olivas, JJ Howland, Carolyn Wester, and Mugzy Bulljunk, along with macebell expert Rik Brown.
"CATCHCON provides a unique opportunity to train directly with the people who have shaped modern catch wrestling and MMA," a representative from Scientific Wrestling explained. "We've designed this as more than just a seminar; it's a complete immersion experience that tests participants under real competitive conditions."
Attendees will participate in structured coaching sessions across all three days, with the opportunity to earn dual certifications in Catch Wrestling Coaching and Macebell training. Scientific Wrestling has maintained certification standards since 2006, providing grapplers with credentials that open coaching pathways and enhance professional credibility in the disciplines.
The camp distinguishes itself from standard seminar models by incorporating tournament competition alongside instruction. Two tournament formats—King of Catch singles and Shoot Pro tag team—offer $1,000 in prize money to champions in each division. Matches follow pinfall, submission, and disqualification rules and will be filmed for the Shoot Pro Wrestling television series.
"If you want to truly understand catch wrestling, you need to experience it under pressure," the spokesperson added. "That's why we built competition directly into the camp structure rather than treating it as an optional add-on."
Registration is structured across three tiers with escalating benefits and limited capacity to maintain personalized instruction ratios. The King of Sport tier, priced at $650, includes three days of training, tournament entry, both certifications, and a souvenir t-shirt. The Living Legend tier, at $997, adds an exclusive dinner with Day 1 coaches, enrollment in CoachingCatch.com, and entry to the Shoot Pro tag team tournament.
The God of Wrestling tier, priced at $1,295 and described as "the ultimate catch wrestling experience," includes lodging with select coaches, two exclusive dinners with Miletich, Shamrock, and Scientific Wrestling founder Jake Shannon, and access to face-to-face mentorship.
Since its inception, Scientific Wrestling has grown in reputation as a modern authority on catch wrestling, with a curriculum heavily influenced by the teachings of Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to register early, as organizers note that capacity constraints and exclusive access to veteran coaches make spots limited.
