Nomad Wrestling was born out of necessity. Two years after I started wrestling when was still figuring it all out, I made the decision to truly dedicate myself to the sport. From then on, I sought every opportunity outside of club season to keep pushing my limits and growing my skills. The following off-season, I discovered Freestyle and Greco wrestling—and everything changed from there.

But the drive to seek out what you need to be your best isn’t new. Being a Nomad Wrestler isn’t about having no home—it’s about finding mats, rooms, coaches and partners that will keep pushing you forward, wherever they may be. Every great wrestler knows that progress means constantly searching for the next challenge.

It means traveling to camps and clinics in the summer. It’s hopping into open mats whenever you can find them. It might mean different clubs for Freestyle and Greco. Sometimes, it’s even sacrificing space in your garage or basement for a 10x10 mat and a couple of weights. It could mean seeking out stronger training partners who can help you sharpen your skills.

If you’re committed to wrestling year-round, you go Nomad to reach new heights. It’s a mindset, a relentless pursuit of growth. That is Nomad Wrestling. If you’re training with this kind of dedication, you’re already a Nomad Wrestler. Welcome to a community of those who chase excellence, wherever it may lead.
