Wrestling in Vienna – the power of close range
Olympic wrestling without punches or kicks: holds, throws and control on the ground. Ideal for kids from age 4, teens, adults and all fighters who want to get stronger in the clinch and on the ground.
Why wrestling?
Wrestling is one of the oldest Olympic sports. The goal is to control your opponent with throws, holds and groundwork. Technique and timing count, not just strength.
Because there are no punches or kicks, wrestling is a great way into martial arts, including for kids. It's also the foundation for MMA, BJJ and judo: whoever can wrestle decides where the fight happens.
Training builds explosive full-body strength, mobility and core stability, and strengthens respect, discipline and self-confidence.
- Kids who need to let off steam and learn rules
- Teens looking for confidence and structure
- Adults who want a new physical challenge
- MMA and BJJ athletes who want to improve their takedowns

Questions about wrestling
Do I need to be strong to start wrestling?
No. Technique matters more than strength, and strength comes with training.
How is it different from grappling and BJJ?
Wrestling focuses on throws and control. Grappling and BJJ add joint locks and chokes on the ground.
What should I wear?
Close-fitting sportswear without zips. We train barefoot on the mats.
