What we're about
Meet other local fans and participants of all levels of Veterans Freestyle, Greco and Folkstyle Wrestling! All ability levels welcome to develop new techniques, practice with other competitors, and participate in tournaments.
This is a great opportunity for beginners to learn a new and challenging sport, as well as provide drilling partners for old wrestlers that want to stay in the game. Our core membership includes experienced coaches who can help you learn the basics and provide chances to improve your mat skills. Come understand why wrestling, the 'World's Oldest Sport', continues to attract new fans and participants, just like it has for (literally) thousands of years.
Our workouts are for adult wrestlers. Mature high school wrestlers may attend with the organizer's prior approval.
Our club is chartered by USA Wrestling and all participants need to purchase a USA Wrestling competitors' card. This costs $50 and is good for one year. It provides liability and secondary accident insurance and is required for participation in many tournaments.
Upcoming events (4+)
We run an open mat for amateur wrestlers (freestyle, greco-roman and folkstyle). Most of our members are experienced wrestlers and many are coaches. But beginners are welcome and somebody will work with you to teach you the basics.
Hope is very centrally located, just off I-290, easily acessible by car and public transportation. The official address is 2189 W. Bowler St. but DO NOT use this address to find the school. Not only is it hard to get to, you will NOT be able to park on Bowler St. or nearby. Instead, use the large parking lot behind the building off of Ogden Ave. The lot is just southwest of the MOPD Field Office, which is at 2102 W. Ogden Ave. and is free on evenings and weekends when we train.Please refer to this map: https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/b/5/1/highres_455367473.jpeg
The gym is located just south of the the parking lot off the alley. Since we are not permitted to leave the door open you should bang loudly on the steel back door or come around to the fron and knock on the glass doors and somebody will let you in.

We will need to roll out the mats before each practice, so try to arrive on time or a few minutes early to help with this.
