Wrestling

What is it?

There are many different styles of wrestling. At New Wave Academy we practice wrestling for grappling & MMA. With the focus being the effective take down and securing of an opponent in a dominant position. For this reason, classes are structured and taught with submission threats in mind and without the use of wrestling shoes.

Class Structure

The class coach will typically cover a series of techniques that progresses in each class across the course of a week. 50% of class time is spent drilling the relevant techniques, and 50% participating in situation & live sparring.

Wrestling is suitable for all abilities.

Requirements

We recommend that for sparring, a gumshield is worn. There is no set uniform although participants are expected to wear a rash guard, T-Shirt , jogging bottoms, spats (leggings) or MMA board shorts with NO POCKETS OR ZIPS.
