Adult Wrestling Classes
Adult wrestling classes are now offered on Monday and Wednesday evenings 8-9 PM. Classes are taught by Ron Vaughters. Beginners as well as off season wrestling competitors are welcome. Students training in other styles will benefit from adding wrestling to their game especially Mixed Martial Artists. Mixed Martial Arts competitors with wrestling skills have consistently been successful in the Octagon. Randy Couture. Matt Hughes, Dan Henderson are excellent examples of MMA fighters who use wrestling skills to win MMA titles.
Children's Wrestling Classes
Children's wrestling classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30-5:30PM beginning March 27th. Classes are taunt by Steve Golob. More kids wrestling classes are in planning.
Children ages 6 and up are welcome including teenagers. Youngsters looking for off season wrestling practice and exposure to new competitors will benefit greatly from this program. Our goal is to network with local junior wrestling clubs and community schools in the Baltimore & greater metropolitan areas. Children new to wrestling will learn as well and be better prepared for when they begin their wrestling season. Children in our Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts programs are welcome to cross train in our junior wrestling program.
