WRESTLING

WRESTLING PROGRAM

Whether you’re a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner looking to improve your takedowns, a competitor aiming to dominate on the mats, or simply someone who wants to develop real-world self-defense skills, there’s one truth—without a strong wrestling foundation, you’re leaving a big gap in your game.

Too many athletes rely solely on ground skills or striking, only to struggle when faced with an opponent who can dictate where the fight takes place. If you can’t take someone down—or stop them from taking you down, you’re at a major disadvantage in competition and self-defense situations.

And while wrestling is one of the most effective combat sports in the world, not all training programs teach proper technique in a way that’s safe, structured, and easy to learn.

At ARES AZ BJJ, our Wrestling program is designed to give you the complete skill set you need to control the match from start to finish. You’ll learn how to:

Execute Powerful Takedowns – From single legs to doubles and throws, we’ll give you a full arsenal of high-percentage moves.

Defend Against Takedowns – Build rock-solid defense so opponents can’t dictate the fight.

Blend Wrestling with Jiu-Jitsu – Perfect for grapplers who want to seamlessly transition between standing and ground fighting.

Improve Strength, Speed & Conditioning – Wrestling pushes your physical limits while sharpening mental toughness.

Our experienced coaches break down each move step-by-step, ensuring you develop flawless technique while building explosive power. Whether your goal is to compete, cross-train for MMA, or simply add another layer of confidence to your self-defense skills, our Wrestling program will get you there.

Step onto the mats and take control. Book your first Wrestling session at ARES AZ BJJ today.

Real Student Reviews

Read what our students have to say about our program.

Rafael “Centenario” E

"My family joined, but my three sons mainly go ages 14, 13, and 7 years old. I find the academy to be a great place for people of all ages. The coaches are patient, understanding and will knowledgeable of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu art, and a very youth friendly environment.

"It's a Great Academy"

Peter Settles

"This place is truly amazing. I’ve never done any martial arts or wrestling or fighting. I took my family for an intro class and it was exactly what we’ve been looking for. Something for me, my wife, and my daughter. Very inviting! Going into a gym for the first time is always intimidating. Between the other students, the coaches, and the atmosphere that intimidation goes to zero almost immediately. This is the kind of place that makes advanced students better but also gives white belts a seriously well balanced base in fundamentals. You will not regret checking this gym out."

Steven Collins

"Paul and Leslie Nava and all his coaches have created an amazing atmosphere of learning. I love being part of this family and community! BJJ will change your life, and if you ever want to take that step ... Ares BJJ is the place to start the journey!
