Kids Classes
Our kids wrestling classes offer an incredible opportunity for children to engage in a sport that goes far beyond the mat. As young wrestlers embark on this journey, they not only develop physical fitness but also hone essential life skills.
Through our carefully crafted program, children will experience:
- 🏃♂️Improvements in coordination
- 🤝Learn discipline and teamwork
- 💪Build self-confidence
- ⭐Cultivate a strong work ethic
Wrestling instills values that extend beyond the arena, fostering mental toughness, enhancing problem-solving skills, and nurturing a deep sense of sportsmanship. We believe that wrestling is more than a sport – it's a transformative experience that shapes character and builds a foundation for success, both on and off the mat. Join us and watch your child thrive as they embrace challenges, forge lasting friendships, and grow into well-rounded individuals with a passion for excellence.
Wrestling for Footy & Rugby
Wrestling can play a key role in footy and rugby in that skills learnt on the mat are transferable on the field.
Wrestling is important for rugby because there is a functional carry over from the gym based strength exercises to the rugby specific movement patterns … tackling, rucking, mauling and scrummaging all of which use many different movement pattern at the same time… wrestling helps rehearse and develop theses movement patterns.
Movement Patterns
Tackling, rucking, mauling and so on use concentric and eccentric actions and varied movement patterns all at once unlike traditional gym exercises. Many of the gym based exercises are very good at developing raw strength and power but wrestling transfers that adaptation into a functional, rugby specific application and is good fun!
Player Benefits
Wrestling can assist footy players in a variety of ways. Tackling being the obvious but also ways to defend from being tackled and ways to manoeuvre to increase chances of recieving a free kick. Wrestling also develops balance and stability to help stand your ground when being tackled or pushed around in contest.
Wrestling for BJJ / MMA
At MWA we are well known for our strength and conditioning using international drills and techniques recognised at a Olympic level.
