What is wrestling?

Control where the fight goes

Wrestling is one of the oldest martial arts, with references as early as the Iliad. It uses clinch fighting, throws, takedowns, pins and holds to gain and keep a dominant position.

In MMA and BJJ, wrestling decides where the fight happens. Good takedowns and takedown defence let you choose whether to strike or grapple.

Our wrestling class is suitable for beginners and is coached by Sergey Pikulskiy and Stephen King.
