The discipline
What Wrestling involves
Wrestling is about controlling where a contest happens: staying on your feet, taking an opponent down, and holding position on top.
Sessions cover stance and motion, takedowns, defence and top control. The program is led by Wrestling Head Coach Tsuchika Shimoyamada, who is ranked number three in the world.

Questions
Wrestling questions
Something else on your mind? Call 0468 253 270 — we’d rather answer a question than have you not turn up.
How does the 'adults + kids' session work?
It's listed in GymMaster as 'Wrestling adults + Kids' and is shared. There is also a separate kids-only class. If you're unsure which suits you or your child, call us.
Is wrestling hard on the body?
It's demanding, but sessions are coached with warm-ups, progressions and controlled drilling rather than uncontrolled intensity.
