TRAIN WITH US
Take your wrestling to the next level in the best-equipped independent wrestling studio in the world. Drawing on our teaching method of Isolate, Integrate, Improvise & Experiment, we’ve created a 3-grade training system for the teaching of professional wrestling. By grading students in a similar way to that of martial arts, our intention is to ensure the progression & safety of our students at all times.
-> New Starters:
New to wrestling? Join our next fun-filled 4-week Fundamentals Course. Meet new buddies, condition your body for the demands of wrestling and get familiar with the basics so you can confidently move onto our popular Grade One sessions with positivity and a sense of ease. If you are completely new to wrestling, or have lost confidence and are looking for a beginner-level refresher course, then our 4-week fundamentals experience is for you.
-> Grade One:
Ready to take your wrestling to the next level? Our Grade One sessions are designed for new starters and intermediate wrestlers looking to build skill, strength, and confidence. You’ll follow a structured syllabus, sharpening your technique as you work towards your Grade One grading. Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, you’ll be invited to test your skills and level up. Whether you’re fresh from our Fundamentals Course or already have some experience, Grade One is where the real journey begins!
-> Grade Two:
Step beyond the basics and dive into the psychology of a wrestling match. In Grade Two, you’ll build on the essential skills from Grade One, developing a personal repertoire of dynamic sequences that bring matches to life. Learn how to control the pace, create compelling transitions, and structure a match that captivates an audience. From executing comebacks to mastering in-ring storytelling, Grade Two is all about making your wrestling seamless, exciting, and authentic. If you’re ready to think like a wrestler and move with confidence, Grade Two is where it’s at.
-> Pros Class:
For those who have passed Grade Two or received an invite, the Pros Class is where you’ll refine your skills, sharpen your instincts, and develop the confidence to perform at a professional level. From structuring high-impact matches to commanding the audience’s attention, the Pros Class is designed to help you move, think, and perform like a true professional.
This class is invite-only or available to those who have passed Grade Two. To be considered for the Pros class please email bookings@playfightlondon.com as this session is not bookable on our booking page.
