Takedowns, clinch work, and relentless mat wrestling — the third discipline at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Murrieta, for kids, teens, and adults.
Call (951) 708-6644 for a Free ClassEvery grappling exchange starts on the feet — and wrestling decides where it goes from there. As one of the three core disciplines at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Murrieta, wrestling gives our students the takedowns, the base, and the mat toughness that separate good grapplers from dangerous ones. Whether you're a kid learning your first double-leg or an adult filling the biggest hole in your no-gi game, wrestling belongs in your training.
Wrestling is the world's oldest martial art, and for good reason: it builds athletes like nothing else. The stance, motion, and hand-fighting of wrestling translate directly to jiu jitsu, Muay Thai clinch work, and self-defense. Our wrestlers don't just learn techniques — they develop the relentless pace and unbreakable base that make everything else they do harder to stop.
Takedowns that dictate the fight. The person who decides whether the fight stays standing or hits the mat controls the entire exchange. Wrestling gives you that choice — double-legs, single-legs, throws, and the setups to land them against resistance.
An unpassable base. Wrestlers are notoriously hard to hold down and even harder to sweep. That base — built through thousands of sprawls, stand-ups, and scrambles — makes your jiu jitsu defense dramatically harder to break.
Scramble mastery. The chaotic transitions between positions are where matches are won and lost. Wrestling lives in the scramble, and wrestlers learn to think clearly and move decisively when everything is moving fast.
Conditioning and mental toughness. There's a reason wrestlers are known as the toughest athletes in any room. Wrestling training builds a gas tank and a mindset that carry into every other discipline — and every hard thing outside the gym.
Wrestling might be the single best sport a young athlete can do. It builds coordination, balance, and body awareness during the years when those foundations matter most — and it teaches kids how to handle adversity, lose with grace, and keep working when things get hard. Our youth wrestlers develop confidence that shows up in school, in other sports, and at home.
For kids already training jiu jitsu, wrestling is the perfect complement: takedowns and top control to go with their ground game. Many of our youth students train both, and the crossover shows fast — wrestlers who do jiu jitsu are a nightmare to take down and a problem on top.
Ask any experienced no-gi grappler what the hole in their game is, and most will say the same thing: wrestling. Guard pullers get stuck on bottom, and without takedowns you're giving up the single most decisive phase of grappling. Our adult wrestling training fixes that — no prior experience needed, just athletic clothes and a willingness to work.
It's also one of the best workouts you'll ever do. An hour of wrestling training builds the kind of functional strength and conditioning that carries into jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, and everyday life. Come for the takedowns, stay for the transformation.

None at all. Most people who start wrestling with us have never done it before — our coaching starts with stance, motion, and basic takedowns, and builds from there. Beginners are the norm, not the exception.
Just comfortable athletic clothes — a t-shirt and shorts or leggings. No special gear is needed to start; wrestling shoes are optional down the road but not required for your first classes.
It's one of the best sports a young athlete can do. Wrestling builds coordination, balance, discipline, and mental toughness during the years when those foundations matter most — and the confidence carries into school and every other sport they try.
Takedowns, base, and scrambles. Wrestlers dictate where the fight happens, are brutally hard to hold down or sweep, and thrive in the chaotic transitions where matches are decided. It's the most common missing piece in a no-gi grappler's game.
Absolutely — many of our adult wrestlers started with zero experience. Wrestling is also one of the best full-body workouts you'll ever do, and it plugs directly into no-gi jiu jitsu and self-defense.
Yes. Your first wrestling class is completely free with no obligation. Contact us or call +1 (951) 708-6644 to book it.
