Welcome to Indy Rarebreed Wrestling Academy, where our mission is to revolutionize the wrestling landscape and empower underserved communities from the ground up.
Starting Strong at Five: Wrestling for All
At Indy Rarebreed Wrestling Academy, we're breaking barriers by introducing the art of wrestling to children as young as five years old. We are especially committed to leveling the playing field for low-income, underserved urban communities affiliated with public schools. Wrestling is not just a sport; it's a catalyst for growth, resilience, and success.
Crafting Champions,
Fostering Discipline
Our vision goes beyond the wrestling mat. Through the dynamic sport of wrestling, we aim to sculpt individuals into disciplined warriors with unwavering work ethics. We believe in nurturing a champion spirit that extends beyond the ring, fostering qualities that resonate in every aspect of life.
Mentoring for Success: Building Long-Term Relationships
Indy Rarebreed Wrestling Academy doesn't just teach wrestling; we provide solid mentoring that forms the bedrock of long-term relationships. Our commitment is not only to the sport but to the holistic development of every individual. We believe that through mentorship, we instill skills that pave the way for success not just in wrestling but in the game of life.
Unlocking Potential:
Beyond Wrestling, Beyond Boundaries
By utilizing wrestling as our platform, we are unlocking the potential within each participant. These skills go beyond the wrestling arena, creating resilient, disciplined individuals equipped for triumph in any life endeavor. Indy Rarebreed Wrestling Academy is not just about the sport; it's about transforming lives and breaking down barriers.

Vision: Bridging the Gap, Transforming Lives
At Indy Rarebreed Wrestling Academy, our vision transcends the norm, aiming to eliminate the disproportionate gap faced by black and brown youth compared to their counterparts from other communities. We recognize the need for change and are committed to developing programs that empower kids in public schools to embrace wrestling from an early age. While middle school has traditionally marked the starting point, we believe in rewriting this narrative, introducing wrestling to our youth during their elementary years.
Building a Foundation for Success
Our goal is ambitious yet achievable. Within 5 to 6 years, we envision a transformed landscape – one with increased team numbers, competitive squads, state finalists, and an abundance of college scholarships. However, our vision extends beyond the sport. By immersing city youth in a supportive environment of mentoring, discipline, family, and love, we aspire to rescue them from the negative traps found within our communities.
