This books is a must for all students of Grappling and Submission fighting. Alot of highly effective techniques straight from the greats themselves.
Great Job!!! [ No Rating ] 12 Dec 2004
"This collection is a testament to how the true champions of catch wrestling trained… I especially enjoyed the Scientific Wrestling Lexicon, it was packed with information and descriptions of techniques and short bios of the greatest catch wrestlers of the past era. It was money well spent and I eagerly await Volume II."

"Phenomenal collection!!! Jake Shannon has put together a collection of very rare books that should be part of every wrestlers Library! I have been collecting rare wrestling books for years and I know that some of the books in this collection are worth hundreds of dollars each! Better yet, some of the books in this Encyclopedia are near impossible to find at all. Fantastically put together this is by far the single best collection of rare wrestling material ever compiled and I am grateful to Jake for his exhaustive work on this project!

I look forward to future volumes of The Authoritive Encyclopedia of Scientific Wrestling!!!"
