Professional wrestling school
From Freepedia
(Redirected from Wrestling school)
A professional wrestling school is a school or gym that teaches students the necessary skills to become pro wrestlers. The courses are taught by qualified professional instructors who have usually worked for several years as professional wrestlers themselves. Many of these schools are linked to independent wrestling promotions for graduates to debut in, but some of the more elite schools are linked to major wrestling promotions.
Some wrestling schools train their students from 30 days to six months but some of the better schools, such as Japanese dojos, train their students for two or more years.
