So,
It seems that the American martial art of Catch-as-Catch-can, or submission wrestling, has finally come unto its own. Sakuraba, the defeator of the Gracies, claims Japanese Professional Wrestling as his style. And contrary to what most people think, Catch-as-Catch-can the American Submission wrestling art is what Japanese Pro Wrestling is a product of, not japanese jujitsu. Sak has mentioned in articles that his style is wrestling.....not jujitsu.
Another champion in the Pride No Holds Barred contests in Japan is Mark Coleman, the American Wrestler.
And in the U.S., we have Frank Shamrock, the undefeated UFC champion, who is an American Submission Wrestler.
True, American Wrestling owes alot to Brazilian Jujitsu for making grappling worldwide recognized as an effective martial art, and BJJ helped bring American submission wrestling out of the woodwork.
But it seems that now the proof is there that America has its very own martial art, and it has defeated every style that has stepped up to it.
