Wrestling
Freestyle Wrestling is a style of amateur wrestling that is practiced throughout the world. Along with Greco-Roman, it is one of the two styles of wrestling contested in the Olympic game.
In Freestyle wrestling the ultimate goal is to throw and pin the opponent to the mat, which results in an immediate win. Freestyle wrestling brings together traditional wrestling, judo, and sambo techniques.

We have a number of members that train wrestling for a few reasons. Most importantly is to improve their take down ability and also their take down defence. A lot of our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) athletes will train wrestling to improve their No-gi game.
Not only does wrestling equip the athlete with a great set of self defence skills, through the use of take downs and ground control, it is also physically demanding and will improve your mobility, strength and cardio vascular endurance.
