Born in England in 1938 to a family of Prize Fighters, Billy Robinson was a Professional Wrestler and one of the greatest competitive Catch Wrestling coaches of all times. Before turning professional he won the 1957 British National Wrestling Championship and the 1958 European Open Wrestling Championship defeating an Olympic Bronze medalist in the finals. The British Lion traveled the world collecting numerous Pro Wrestling titles, specially in Japan where his super technical game immediately turned him into a fan favorite. He passed his knowledge to several Catch Wrestling legends such as Kazushi Sakuraba and Josh Barnett, influencing the modern world of grappling and Mixed Martial Arts. One of his signature submission holds was the double wrist lock.
