Announcement : Just want to thank all the people who supported NWF - National Wrestling Federation, after careful consideration we've decided not to conclude the sale of the company as it's young legacy deserves to remain intact and untouched. It's bold but it's straight forward in a short amount of time between 2022 and 2024 Nwf achieved the following.

- biggest social media presence
- 60 shows for 2024
- The first organization to host shows in Kazi's regularly
- The first organization to give free wrestling lessons to those who really wanted to become a wrestler.
- Voted best wrestling school 2023 by international magazine
- Drew massive crowds
- went viral and brought awareness back to wrestling.
- Training was brutal we made youngsters with no confidence men with our no bs approach to respect this business.

The fact of the matter is when i left wrestling in 2018 and came back in 2022 to open my own school and start promoting apart from the highest efforts from all other organizations and with all dew respect wrestling was dying in this country.

I see it now after not promoting for 11 months that i was the one who pushed other organizations to step it up better posters live streaming weekly shows making plans giving free lesson or not being as tough on people who wants to join. I am taking that credit because it's the only thing i ever wanted wrestling to continue in Southern Africa.

I achieved that. You never say never in wrestling but as for me Juandre Ward i won't be promoting or coming back to wrestling again no. For me it's a chapter i want to close on my life.

I get to focus on my family and my business. I will always love wrestling but as of right now i will not be persueing any shows, training facilities or anytbing else to do with wrestling. As of right now i am officially retiring as a promoter NWF is officially closed. This includes the closing of HWA - Honour Wrestling Association AND SAPW South African Pro- Wrestling.

Thank you for all your support. I am leaving wrestling because its in a much better space then when i found it in 2022. Good luck to all promoters and wrestlers.

I am not selling any organization i am not open to discussing anything i am simply moving on and who knows one day when i am in a better place in my life yes i will start again but for now this is my last message as i ride into the sunset.

Thank you again for the support the messages the shares the likes the comments thanks!

Untill we meet again.

Jd out.

Good evening NWF - National Wrestling Federation

Its been a while since we posted anything. Truth be told everytime we think we have a breakthrough in terms of a new training facility we get let down.

We are actively looking for a sports hall, recreation centre or Facility where we can relaunch our Wrestling school and provide free classes to the public.

Areas we are actively looking at, Randburg, Fourways, Midrand etc. if you know of a hall where we can put a Wrestling ring permanently please let us know on WhatsApp 074 497 4661.

Thank you.
