CHICAGO WRESTLING CENTER

I started training at the CWC in May and it was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Coach Ali, Koda, and Alfonso are focused on developing the trainees into the best wrestlers possible. They condition us to be machines with precise technique and respect. If you give it your all they will give it back to you and more. If you want to be the best that you can be then you need to train at the CWC.

It’s been a little over 3 years since I’ve stepped into a pro wrestling ring and I recently started training at CWC advanced classes. And what is absolutely insane to me is that after training with coach Ali for literally a week, I was able to do learn how to control my body into a headstand - after a month, I’ve been able to add more pin types and combinations into my arsenal - after 2 months, I’ve started learning how to think on the fly during a match. Anytime I walk into training I feel truly honored to learn from someone like coach Ali, who has been at the top of the game for so long and is so passionate, meticulous and patient when teaching us all. And…he keeps it 100% real. If you have dreams of one day being able to truly call yourself a pro wrestler, get yourself to CWC.

I started training at the Chicago Wrestling Center back in January of 2025, and let me tell you the progress from day 1 to now is absolutely insane. Its truly been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Coaches Ali, Koda, and Alfonso are very crucial in terms of conditioning, technique, and safety. The discipline they've instilled in me and my classmates is without a doubt the best type of training you'll receive in the Chicago area. From pushing you through conditioning drills, to watching something as precise as your footwork in the ring, these 3 professionals have such an eye and a passion for their craft that it's truly an honor and a blessing to be training along side them. If you're willing to put in the work, come in with an open mind and a willingness to learn, the CWC will turn you into a new and improved version of yourself.

This is my first ever wrestling class and it has been awesome. Being coached by Ali, Alfonso and Koda is an honor as they are keeping all eyes on our flaws to help us improve and do the moves right. It has made me gain way more respect to the industry. Comparing myself to the first week I can see many improvements in my endurance, strength and moves. Ali has a passion, keeps it real and wants to create the best. This is the class to start your dreams of becoming a professional wrestler.

I recently started my pro wrestling journey at CWC in May and I could not be happier with my decision. For someone that has been in sports their whole life, the coaches at CWC are the best I’ve ever been around. Coach Ali, Alfonso, and Koda are honest, detailed, and willing to give you everything they have as long as you are willing to put in the work. They provide a safe environment and want the absolute best for everyone. Looking at where myself and fellow classmates were at the first week until now (2 months in), I could not be more proud of myself and them. We could not have done it without the coaches at CWC. It is an honor to step into a ring and be trained by Coach Ali, Alfonso, and Koda.
