Wolverhampton Wrestling Club

Founded in 1972, our goal is to provide a supportive and challenging environment for wrestlers of all skill levels to develop their skills, strength and character. At our club, we believe that wrestling is not just a sport, but a discipline that can help individuals to become the best version of themselves. We take inspiration from those that were here before us and who paved the way.
