Every new student starts off with a four-week induction period to allow you to become familiar with our training setup, and this also acts as an evaluation to help determine if pro-wrestling is the right thing for you.
The induction will focus on fitness and cardio work, rolling and bumping, ring awareness and positioning, and the basics of pro-wrestling technique including grappling and striking. Our primary focus, at all times, will be physical safety and body control. There will also be time to work on various character aspects and verbal skills.
Following the induction period, all the aspects covered during it will continue to be looked at and expanded on. Your training will develop at your own pace, some students take to certain things very quickly while others require more time and effort. No one will be rushed into anything that they feel uncomfortable with, although stepping up and at least making an attempt will the best way to improve.
-
Attendance during all of the initial induction period is very important, and following that, the commitment to attend regularly will be necessary for your training to progress. However, we understand that work or family life will have to take precedence at times, and we only ask that you keep us notified as a courtesy.

There are no restrictions when it comes to body type/size, but having a decent level of physical fitness will be vital for progression. Being in good cardiovascular shape is a tremendous benefit, as is having good physical strength, but these aspects can be worked on in your own time as you progress with your training. Finding the correct training and fitness set-up to suit you is a crucial early step. A good diet and exercise regime will go a long way, especially when coupled with a steady gym routine.

Good personal hygiene will be expected as a courtesy to others. Elbow and knee pads will be required for some activities, with brands like Trace, McDavid and Rucanor being recommended.

No, there are no guarantees in that regard upon beginning your training. Every student is different, and some may not reach a level where appearing on live events would be appropriate.
