Our emphasis will be on making the sport enjoyable. Further, we will keep an eye on nutrition. We intend to help our kids achieve proper body dynamics by cultivating themselves, mentally as well as physically.

Anyone can succeed at wrestling with proper guidance. Wrestlers can be big, small, heavy or lean. Wrestling is now an Olympic Sport for women as well and girls are of course welcome.

Alex is presently assisting in the Special Education Department at Bigelow Middle School, in Newton, and is a graduate researcher and student in Special Education at UMASS Boston. He helped co-found the wrestling club at Colgate University and competed with the University of London Judo Club, and has trained with Olympic Team Members, both domestic and abroad.
