Under the guidance of owner and former Division-1 wrestler Tim Rennick, our adult wrestling program is built to be:

• Highly Effective: Learn the takedowns and control that dictate the pace of a fight.

Whether you're brand new or experienced, you'll be able to train hard -- without getting hurt.

Why Wrestling Is So Effective (Especially for MMA)

Wrestling is widely considered the best base for MMA because it grants you control over the fight's location and pace. If you can wrestle, you decide the outcome. Our program teaches you how to execute dominant takedowns, defend against attacks, and control the clinch, giving you the ability to impose your will in any scenario.

Coached Under Tim Rennick's Leadership

Tim isn't just a BJJ Black Belt World Champion -- he was also a Division 1 wrestler, meaning he understands wrestling at the highest competitive level and how to adapt it for real MMA and real people.

What Tim is most respected for is how he trains:

• Relaxed, technical coaching
• High standards without ego
• Safety-first intensity
• A culture of looking after teammates

Tim proved you can reach the top without crushing your training partners. He became a world champion while being known for calm, considerate, intelligent training -- and that philosophy shapes every class we run.
