FAQ
What is the Minimum Age to train at the Pro Wrestling Academy?
Minimum age is 18 years old.I have not taken part in any Pro Wrestling training before, can I still tryout?
Yes, the tryouts are designed for those with no training experience previously. The tryouts do not feature any wrestling moves or holds being performed on one anotherWhat is involved in the tryouts?
The tryouts are a test of your athletic ability, through cardio exercises, drills for coordination and other factors like agility, endurance & strength training. The coaches are looking to see how you take direction and what your attitude is likeWhat do I need to bring to the tryouts?
Athletic wear or training apparel is essential. Comfortable shoes that are lightweight, or if you can obtain them/already have them Amateur Wrestling shoes from Sports stores are perfect. We suggest investing in soft kneepads and elbow pads which can be purchased from most Sporting stores. A towel and a bottle of water. You may want to bring a snack to have before and after the tryout also, training on an empty stomach is not ideal!What happens after the tryouts?
The coaches on hand assess each participant and will make a grading on whether they feel you are ready to begin training or if you need more development in certain areas before taking on Pro Wrestling training. As it is a gruelling sport and the training is intense, the tryouts allow you personally to have an insight to what our wrestlers conduct on a weekly basis to hone their craft. If you are successful, you will be invited to join the CORE class which takes place on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. This class is designed to last 12 weeks (if consistent with attendance), with advancement to our FUNDAMENTALS
