The Melbourne Wranglers Wrestling Club is a DGS not-for-profit community sporting club.

Wrestling is a great way to get fit while having fun. The sport incorporates full body movements to build strength, fitness, and explosive movement. Wrestling can also be seen as a non-violent self-defence type training that builds self-confidence and self-esteem.

POSITIVITY

We exist to convey a positive sporting environment to all persons engaged with the LGBTIQ community. Our intent is to bring positivity not only to those on the mat, but to extend this out to the entire community.

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance is a fundamental aspect of our training. The sport of wrestling is for everyone regardless of age, gender, sexuality, religion or body type.
Just be yourself.

UNITY

Our culture and values are ones that foster family unity. We, as committee and members, connect and support each other both on and off the mat, encouraging healthy lifestyle choices.

PURPOSE

Training and community engagement is crucial to the Wranglers. It provides direction and intent for personal success and happiness, irrespective of its focus.

Our club trains in Freestyle wrestling (a style that allows moves above and below the waist), and incorporates moves from Roman-Greco wrestling (a style that allows moves above the waist only).

What to Wear

Regular gym gear – Shirt/singlet and shorts.
For hygiene reasons street shoes are not permitted on the mat.
You can either go barefoot, wear socks or, if you have them, dedicated wrestling shoes (see below). Please make sure your fingernails are clipped short and all jewellery taken off.
Please also bring a sweat towel, bottle of water, and a towel if you want to shower afterwards.

The facilities at Dominance Mixed Martial Arts are second to none. The academy is fitted out with only the best equipment available to create a great training experience.
