Wrestling Seminar w/ Former NCAA Champion and Olympian Matt Gentry
Saturday, June 22, 12-2PM
$75 early registration, $100 at door (can also purchase from within the store of our custom app)
Matt Gentry, current University of Chicago wrestling coach, 2x Olympian, and Stanford University NCAA Champion retired from competition following the 2012 Olympics but is excited to get back to teaching and coaching wrestlers of all ages. After competing on the national team for 6+ years, Coach Gentry has learned a variety of training methods and techniques from training and competing around the world. Coach Gentry believes in fundamental and basic wrestling techniques, hard work, and a positive attitude are required for success on the mats. More importantly, Coach Gentry learned a great deal about the mental side of wrestling for success not only in sport but in every aspect of life. Every practice, Coach Gentry will take time to talk about the mental side of wrestling such as pre-match routines, goal-setting, training mentalities, competition tips, importance of school, and more.
Starting Monday 05/20/2024, we will be suspending the Monday and Wednesday morning and afternoon Muay Thai classes for the summer. The classes will be replaced by open gyms on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30A-7:30AM and 12PM-1:30PM. The open mat/gym sessions will be located in the main studio so that members can come in to workout or hit the bags. This DOES NOT impact the Tuesday and Thursday morning and afternoon Muay Thai classes.
Additionally, we will also be changing Tuesday, Thursday 6:30-7:30AM classes to be no-gi as well.
Feel free to reach out to us should you have questions or if you need additional assistance.
Thank you!
