In the martial arts world, it is known that the wrestler is the upgrade to the system. There is a RISE in self-sacrifice, a RISE in intensity, a RISE in physicality, a RISE in mental toughness, a RISE in leadership.

The door to enter the world of the Wrestler is always open to everyone. There are no male wrestlers. There are no female qrestlers. There are no kid wrestlers. There are no handicapped, fat, or skinny wrestlers. If the athlete RISES to all the challenges, the athlete has earned the title of wrestler.

But, wrestling is a tough enterprise. It is a journey where the athlete learns about self, motivation, sacrifice, and humbleness. No colored belts are given, but there definitely are levels to wrestling. Nothing is given. There are no watered-downed practices. The Athlete will "Learn and Earn" everything they do and accomplish as they RISE through the Local, Regional, State, and National levels. Hopefully, the Wrestler will RISE to reach the International Level.

The primary expectation of RISE Wrestling is that the athlete is prepared to learn, and the wrestler is built based on these learned skills. It is the duty and responsibility of the RISE Coaches to teach and guide each Wrestler in such a manner that the Wrestler will RISE to their highest potential possible under the tutelage of the Coaches. When that happens, the duty and responsibility of the Coaches is to guide the Wrestler to the next Coach to continue the journey.

There is one simple rule that is followed all over the world: if you walk through the door, if you step on the mat, if you do the best you can to learn as much as you can, if you finish the entire season with the most tremendous outcome or lost all of your matches, and if you endure, you are a wrestler.

RISE Wrestling is building role models that will RISE to the occasion because they have been through situations where they have pushed through the crucible of exhaustion and endured when others would quit. RISE Wrestling has a proven history of producing champion wrestlers. But, most importantly, RISE Wrestling is also producing leaders and productive community members.
