Wrestling is a physically demanding sport. While the online academy is open to all, participants considering physically participating in athletic/professional wrestling training should consult a doctor if they have health concerns.

How much does it cost?

Costs to join the Dijak Wrestling Academy are detailed by clicking on Programs. To join a physical professional wrestling school in person, costs vary and you should contact your school of interest directly.

Do you offer refunds?

All sales are final. We understand that scheduling conflicts will arise and when this happens we will do everything in our power to make sure that you are rescheduled appropriately, within reason. Please email DijakWrestling@gmail.com as soon as possible if you have any conflicts that require rescheduling.

After I complete the 8 Week Course or a One on One Session will I be ready to wrestle a match?

No. To participate in a professional wrestling match requires extensive physical training which must take place in person at a professional wrestling school with a ring. The Dijak Wrestling Academy will extensively cover and prepare you for the mental aspects of professional wrestling. Only a professional wrestling trainer in-person can determine your ability to participate in a match.

Can I audio or video record a session?

It depends. A one on one session: Yes, but please ask before doing so. A class in the 8 Week Fundamental Course: No, any recording is strictly prohibited. This is because a lot of the course knowledge is proprietary information and unsharable due to copyright law. We highly encourage you to take written notes to help remember course information!
