I remember I saw some photos of this workout on paper decades ago. Inoki asked Gotch for lessons in preparation for some big match. I saw movie for the first time. This is amazingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I am 55 years old and still having push-up in this style every morning.
I went to Mr. Gotch's house (yes, I still say MISTER Gotch, even though he didn't stand on ceremony) for a workout with he and my father up in Lutz. He would've been 54. I thought I was in good shape since it was the middle of wrestling season. I was sore for a month. (His pitbull went through the same workout , lol)
A lot of these exercises are great. I notice so many exercises done here are for strengthening and stretching the hips for mobility. A lot of this was out of fashion at the time and now being discovered again.
Basic Pahlevani wrestling workout. Every wrestler in Iran and India does these before training sessions. I'm guessing Gotch also learned it from there.
If it weren’t for Japanese Pro wrestling we wouldn’t have modern MMA as we have it since it started with some wrestlers who didn’t want scripted matches all of the time.
Modern mma in terms of promotions and rule sets and organization. You can go back to the Roman Empire and before that Ancient Greece if you want to be a stickler but original comment is accurate. Modern MMA owes its existence to these guys/ Japanese pro wrestling.
Exactly!!!...Plus a lot of stories from those old "Carnival Circus" days of wrestling. ..."Shoot wrestling that would get serious. Old time stories of guys eyes getting gouged, ears getting ripped and limbs getting crippled. They got very rough back in the day.
Gotch is a great trainer and god! Bob backlund would of been much better by training under this man! Not to take anything away from bob! He can still beat the current wrestlers of today! A dying breed!
I see a lot of shall we say familiar--(or very close to...) yoga, chi gung, martial arts iron body, animal style floor exercises. To name a few. I'm sure I'm missing some.
Heavy macebells and Indian Clubbells were also regularly used. Gotch was a solid heavyweight to begin with so the idea he made himself huge just by calisthenics is not true, although they did of course help him greatly in his ability to move like a much lighter person.
@@scientificwrestling Man! I wonder if asahi journal has more unreleased footage of this.What i've briefly researched.There may be an extensive archive.On the hunt,.Hope to 1 day have ah Cigar with Jake.
I think Karl Gotch is probably still in better shape than most of us, and he's been dead for 15 years.
He's probably buried in a Wrestling Bridge position
No doubt
You know that Antonio never forgot any of this. It's like being in someones memories.
SIMPLY AMAZING!!! My hero Karl Gotch and the great Antonio Inoki!!! This is a piece of pure Gold!!! Thanks for Sharing! 😀

And, Antonio Inoki also have passed. But their works never be forgotten.
I had a wrestling coach who trained us similar to this.The assistant coach was his brother.Their last name was Stevens.Mike, Mark. GOD bless
Love seeing footage of Karl so much is so few in far between for the amount of things Karl has done. Thanks for digging this out Jake!
I found it online. Someone named Kyon uploaded it
Inoki and Gotch both looked in GREAT form here! Wow!
wow Gotch's quads are huge...he makes Enoki look skinny
This is pure art.

Karl Gotch is the Albert Einstein of Combat Conditioning. Thank you for sharing Scientific Wrestling

"Karl Gotch is the Albert Einstein of Combat Conditioning."
So you think Gotch was a plagiarist and scumbag?

I hate how much wrestlers and BJJ guys SHIT on stretching systems like Yoga... it will improve your mobility and reduce injuries.
if you love this stuff check out indian wrestling workouts. not too crazy and not too easy. the perfect balance of cardio and weight training
@@qazmko22 firas zahabi hates alot of those yoga systems. He finds that it weakens a lot of his grapplers.
@@mattl8774 and Rickson Gracie LOVES yoga... i guess it depends on application.
ゴッチ式トレーニングはこうして改めてみると日本のスポーツにかなり大きな影響を与えてる
いろんな格闘技や武術やりましたが準備運動にこうしたゴッチイズムが入ってますね
学生時代は柔道とレスリングやってましたがアップはまさにこんな感じでした
あ!これオレもやってた!ってのがかなりあります
多分日本人ならそういう経験部活であるはずです
素晴らし過ぎる映像、魅入ってしまった。アントニオ猪木絶頂期。
Amazing footage!
No wonder why wrestlers are so freaking strong
what a gem !!!! so poetic. will try loads of things from this vid. thanks uploaader
Definitely want to research more of Mr Gotch's work and methods.
Thank U,Mr Shannon for posting this.Karl from what I've read was a Very Disciplined Man.Wiggan must have been a Torture Chamber!
Basic Pahlevani wrestling workout. Every wrestler in Iran and India does these before training sessions. I'm guessing Gotch also learned it from there.
Yeah, I believe he spent a lot of time training with the Pelwhani wrestlers out in India.
He told me the name of the man he learned from but I've forgotten it. It may be in KarlGotch.com somewhere.
@Gotchism4Life yes, he told me his name but I forgot it. He was Persian not Indian.
Iron sheik?!?
Basic wrestling exercises true, Wigan did and does still do them
Amazing footage
Really enjoyed this video, Jake.
これは貴重な映像。本人がやるゴッチ式サーキットトレーニングの映像も残っているとは・・・
Superb footage
Awesome vintage footage!🙏
Highly inspirational. Some exercises are really interesting.
猪木30歳!?くらいですね。まさに猪木プロレスの完成期。
猪木の全盛期ってルスカ、アリ、モンスターマン戦あたりですね。
Wow! What an incredible video! Thanks for posting.....
Amazing what's new is old:)
As a trainer since 1998, this is very interesting!
Wow, no equipment required except a medicine ball, face cloth and deck of cards 👍
ゴッチさんてむちゃくちゃ力持ち!?だったみたいですね。
There is a lot you can do with just body weight.
You also need a partner usually. It pays to be social 😢
Karl Gotch trained Inoki against Ali!!!!
No he did not. Though he was invited to be at Inoki's corner, he never trained Inoki specifically for the Ali match.
17:59 those med ball throws with the feet look fun! I've never seen that before.
This is beautiful.
Absolutely badass
6:22 i love the manual strength work. You have to really works with a partner you trust
This was before inoki vs the legend tiger jit singh who was a powerlifter
Very dangerous for the cervical spine
Already implementing some of the stuff here in my workouts.
💪💪
Some of these pushup versions have been taken from Persian/Indian pushup styles known as "dands"
Back when Pro-wrestlers could actually kick your butt for real too! 😂
If it weren’t for Japanese Pro wrestling we wouldn’t have modern MMA as we have it since it started with some wrestlers who didn’t want scripted matches all of the time.
@aperezdeal they have been doing MMA in Brazil for the last 70 years.
@@olegariomartinez6807Also those old wrestlers like Stu Hart could certainly handle themselves for real, they were plenty tough back then.

Coach what are you doing bro? Is this even nessesary? 3:47
For real though this stuff is absolute gold, great video!
プロレスラーの鍛え方ってすごい
Broken neck to see this .😮
アップありがとうございました
Que preparação física 👏👏👏👏👏show
Great Gama training
1:55 now THAT'S a neck Bridge
This is really great training video. I really want to visit this wrestling gym. If you know contact please let me know
ナマ音声あったら更に素晴らしい。
これは素晴らしい!これはゴッチが50歳?くらいですね。きょういの50歳!十分現役できますね。こういうのは見るとつくづく1984年に猪木はuwfに参加してほしかったな。
“That was hot”
すごいとしか言えない。文句があるならばやってみろと言いたいです。プロレスラーはこれを毎日やっているんですから。
👍🏽
BACKSHOTS
Where you get the music from?
Gotch is a great trainer and god! Bob backlund would of been much better by training under this man! Not to take anything away from bob! He can still beat the current wrestlers of today! A dying breed!
Backlund spent some time under Gotch. His more scientific matches will make that clear.
@@user-cj7nu8de1t that’s great!! I wonder if he’s studied under fugi
arourora as well?
Backlund was very strong.
Imagine if Gotch went to Holland and trained Muay Thai for two yrs at Mejiro Gym. He'd dominate the UFC heavyweight division
Karl Gotch was born in 1924, so that's unlikely. Now, if he was born, say, 50 years later and still had those same skills...
I don't know about dominate. He was a big fish in a small pond.
I see a lot of shall we say familiar--(or very close to...) yoga, chi gung, martial arts iron body, animal style floor exercises. To name a few. I'm sure I'm missing some.
Hey Jake! Good work, Buddy! Dontcha love Karl's Clark Gable/ Jackie Gleason 'stache?
can you get their physique with bodyweight workouts and wrestling only? they must have been weightlifting too right?
Heavy macebells and Indian Clubbells were also regularly used.
Gotch was a solid heavyweight to begin with so the idea he made himself huge just by calisthenics is not true, although they did of course help him greatly in his ability to move like a much lighter person.
👍
Know what year this was filmed?
They recorded this just last week, actually.
My guess is early 70s

Jajajaja 😂
Lots of upper body stuff, not much there for the legs.
it's like gay love for hetero chads. maximum comradery
Dont those bridges on your face while rocking forwards n backwards screw up your neck and cervical spine later in life?
For sure it's right to question a few of these. I know I'd either steer clear completely or limit some of these exercises.
髙田延彦!❗この映像見ろ❗
ゴッチの技術は何も通用しなかった⁉️だと
自分が習得出来てなかっただけの話しだろう❗
違うか?
ゴッチさんの技術があれば
世界の強豪と互角以上にやれるんだよ‼️
前田日明兄さんを見習え!❗
Is it just me…or is some of this really awkward and weird?
why would say that? you mean when Gotch is in missionary position or when he’s straddling Inoki in cowgirl position? ?
@@ziapsp4167Bahahahaha 😂
They don't call it touch butt for nothing. :) 😀
Why did they have to use Soft core porn music?
Kinda gay
Are the panties an important part of this training?
He was the real reason kimura was named after kimura..
