WRESTLING

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is an electrifying fusion of diverse fighting styles, each contributing distinct techniques and strategies.  Among these, wrestling stands out as a foundational element, forming the backbone of many successful MMA careers.  Beyond its tactical advantages in the cage, wrestling also plays a crucial role in developing functional strength and endurance, making it a key component of any fighter’s training regimen.

Wrestling is one of the most popular sports in high schools and colleges, offering athletes of all sizes the chance to compete.  Success in wrestling isn’t determined solely by athletic ability—it comes down to heart, dedication, and resilience.  However, after graduation, wrestlers often find limited training opportunities and many transition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) or grappling.

At Open Guard, we offer a comprehensive adult wrestling program for ages 14 and up, blending techniques from Wrestling, Judo, BJJ, and Muay Thai.  Our program equips you with the skills to take a fight to the ground and finish it.  Combined with our Muay Thai and BJJ classes, you’ll develop the complete skill set essential for success in MMA.
