Classes are structured to accelerate each student’s journey on the path to learning. Special attention is paid to building foundational movement patterns essential to effective grappling. The Ironworks philosophy is that hard work at the fundamentals is the key to success, and to that end, basics will be repped in every session. We believe Duke Rufus when he said, “Drills make skills.”
As catch wrestling is a technique-rich art, students will see fun and innovative moves introduced each week. Students will learn chokes, locks, strangles, crushes, cranks, tilts, breakdowns, throws, pins, and everything else that catch wrestling has to offer.
Second only to a wrestler’s breadth of knowledge, is his physical prowess. Karl Gotch, a notable catch wrestler, is quoted as saying, “Conditioning is the greatest hold.” Students will have every opportunity to improve their current conditioning levels and build key attributes necessary at the highest echelons of grappling.
Since we can only grow with the help of our training partners, we expect that each student will check their ego at the door. Every effort will be made to make a safe training environment, with a friendly atmosphere.
