Wrestling for BJJ — Takedowns for Grapplers

Every grappling match starts on the feet. This is the class most BJJ gyms can't offer — real wrestling, taught by a coach who lived it.

  • Collegiate-level technique adapted for no-gi grappling — setups, shots, finishes, and sprawls that hold up against resistance.
  • Front headlock, mat returns, and top pressure that translate straight to your jiu-jitsu game.
  • Never wrestled? Perfect. Classes are built for total beginners and experienced grapplers training side by side.

Wrestling classes: Monday & Thursday 7 PM · Tuesday 5 PM · Wednesday 6 PM.

Off-Season Training That Makes the Season

Wrestlers are built in the off-season. We supplement what your school program and booster club are already doing — not replace it.

  • Off-season and in-season supplemental training for middle and high school wrestlers — Bradley, Darby, Davidson, and beyond.
  • More quality mat time, more live reps, and detailed technique work in a room with regulation wrestling circles.
  • Private lessons with Coach Chandler for wrestlers who want individual attention on a specific position or problem.

Wrestling for ages 5–12 launches this fall — join the kids waitlist.

Two Programs Worth Watching

Forming Now

Girls Wrestling

Girls wrestling is the fastest-growing high school sport in Ohio, and we're building a program for it. Coach Chandler has assisted coaching women to national competition — your daughter would train with a coach who has taken female athletes to that level. Spots are limited while the program forms.

September – October

Fall Preseason Camp

Get ready for the season before the first whistle. A preseason camp for scholastic wrestlers focused on conditioning, technique, and live wrestling — so you walk into your school room ahead, not catching up.

Coach Chandler

Collegiate wrestler. Army Combatives instructor. Combat medic. Former MMA fighter. Chandler has spent his life where discipline meets pressure — and he brings all of it to the room every night.

Chandler wrestled at the collegiate level, then kept testing himself: as an MMA fighter, as an Army Combatives certified instructor, and as a combat medic. He's a certified personal trainer, and he has assisted coaching women to national competition. Everything he teaches has been pressure-tested somewhere it counted.

Whether you're a grappler who needs takedowns, a scholastic wrestler chasing a varsity spot, or a parent looking for the right first coach — this is his room.
