About Us


Our philosophy is teaching wining techniques that are used at the highest level, (Olympic and world) but taught in a way even the beginning wrestler will understand and retain.  The goal is to help students be the best they can be.  It all starts in the gym, on the track, in the weight room, and most of all “With a Dream” to become a Champion.  A true champion is not one that has the most victories or medals, but one that has achieved his goals and enjoyed the journey along the way.

We believe this will provide the optimal experience to help aspiring athletes reach the next level of their goals. We strive to produce great champions both in wrestling and in life. Finally, it is our ultimate goal to provide, through the great sport of wrestling to help to kids in need. Setting them on a path to great leadership, and successes in their everyday lives. Not only wrestlers can benefit from our techniques, but MMA and UFC combative type sports that use the skills of wrestling will learn techniques that will put them above and beyond their opponents skill level.

Sheldon's Wrestling Academy & Training has various levels to aid in the development of the wrestler or wrestling skills. There are no age limit barriers, each wrestler will be assigned a level based on their accomplishments in competition or goal they want to achieve.

To become a champion it takes the “3 D’s” Dedication, Discipline, and Desire.  Our program instills that into every session, but ultimately it’s up to the athlete.  The program will provide the keys for the door, it’s up to you to turn the key and push the door open.


Coaches

Our coaches are all certified through USA wrestling’s NCEP (national coaches education program) and one has reached the highest achievement being a Gold level certified coach.  The coaching staff is very diverse composed of domestic and international former wrestlers, Olympians, and World medal winners. 

With the coaches having vast experience on the world and Olympic level; we believe and are committed to building champions.  All age levels will benefit from the skills learned on the mat and off.
