Friday Night Youth Wrestling 🔥🤼♂️
Our Friday evening Youth Wrestling classes at Area 502 MMA are built for kids who want to level up. Whether your child wrestles in school and needs extra mat time, trains here already, or is brand new and wants to learn, this class is for them.
Led by Coach William Powell — Former Doss High School Team Captain, helped coach Derby City Legends to two-time State Championships, and Jiu-Jitsu blue belt — these sessions focus on real technique, live drilling, and building a strong wrestling mindset.
✅ Confidence
✅ Discipline
✅ Hard Work
✅ FUN
If your child wants to get tougher, sharper, and more prepared for competition (and life), this is where they need to be.
