Strength. Discipline. Community.

Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the world, and one of the best ways to build confidence, fitness, and friendships.

Every session starts the same way. Everyone learns the basics. Everyone belongs.

Our coaches and teams looked at hand fighting, and why it matters in every match.

Good hand fighting gives you control of the tie-up. Control the tie-up and you're in a dominant position, which opens up chances to attack the legs.

Anti-doping rules depend on what's in it and the dose.

Some inhalers are fine, some have limits, some need approval in advance.

Check regularly, especially at the start of each year or when your medication changes.
