Our wrestling program is led by Coach Odie, a Division I All American, Citadel Hall of Fame wrestler, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, and professional international MMA fighter. Students learn from a coach who has succeeded at the highest levels of wrestling, grappling, and mixed martial arts, not theory, not watered down instruction.

Coach Odie teaches wrestling with purpose. Students learn how takedowns work in pure wrestling, how they adapt for No-Gi Jiu Jitsu, and how they change again inside the cage. The result is stand up skill that carries over seamlessly whether your goal is grappling, MMA, or becoming a well rounded martial artist.

Many gyms struggle to teach effective wrestling, leading to sloppy shots, poor positioning, and athletes getting caught in guillotines or forced into guard with no plan. At Witness Martial Arts, we fix those gaps. Students develop clean entries, solid finishes, and the ability to defend, counter, and stay composed on the feet.

No intimidation, no outdated mentalities, and no forced traditions. Wrestling at Witness is taught in a respectful, focused environment where athletes are encouraged to grow, ask questions, and train hard without unnecessary pressure.

Our wrestling classes emphasize strong basics from day one. Footwork, positioning, balance, and timing are taught in a way that builds confidence and long term success. Advanced students refine the details that separate good wrestlers from great ones.

Beginners, experienced grapplers, and competitive fighters all train together. New students build confidence quickly, while seasoned athletes sharpen the details that matter in competition. Coaches meet each student where they are and help them progress at their own pace.
