Love it! They have a great ring and a robust little gym section. They also are very meticulous about cleaning and masks are on at all times. I go there for the women's classes; their twitter has session info. Head trainers are very helpful. Also, be sure to bring a bottle of water with you, because you'll definitely get a tough workout! 👍

My wife threw me a private show here for my 35th birthday party. They were so welcoming and accommodating. The majority of our guests had never been to pro wrestling before, and they've been raving about it non-stop. Great space, friendly people, quality performances. If you like wrestling, give these people your money. You won't be disappointed.

Really well equipped space, and the trainers really care about their students and their craft. Not the easiest to find, but honestly, what is in Bristol? But it's clean, and they clearly care about safety and about doing it right.

Cheeseburger and sumpi are the greatest trainers of professional wrestling. Truely an honor to have them share what they know in professional wrestling.

World class training, training environment is safe and friendly, and unlike any other Wrestling School on the planet. Every student gets the attention and focus needed to succeed. CB will work with you at your pace and is actively invested in your success as a wrestler. All the trainees in the school are extremely supportive of each other aswell.
