Freestyle Wrestling is a fast-paced and highly technical combat sport built around takedowns, throws, trips, turns and control. Wrestlers use a combination of strength, speed, balance, timing and technique to take their opponent to the ground, control them and ultimately work towards a pin.
At Parity Martial Arts in Southampton, our freestyle wrestling classes are beginner-friendly and suitable for anyone wanting to learn wrestling, whether you’re completely new to the sport or already have experience in wrestling, BJJ, MMA or another grappling discipline.
You’ll learn wrestling fundamentals, takedowns, throws, footwork, movement, grips, control and transitions, with a mixture of technical drilling, situational training and live wrestling to help you put everything into practice.
Our classes are led by two highly experienced martial artists and competitors. Bryony is a Catch Wrestling World Champion who has competed on major international shows including Bellator and Polaris, while Chris has years of training and competition experience across wrestling, BJJ, Muay Thai and MMA. Together they bring a huge amount of practical knowledge and experience to the class.
Freestyle wrestling is a brilliant way to build strength, improve fitness, develop balance and coordination, and become more confident with takedowns and standing grappling.
