Warrior mind. Wrestler Heart.
Welcome to Arctic Warriors Wrestling Club
Founded in 2010 and based in Wasilla, Alaska; Arctic Warriors Wrestling Club (AWWC) trains athletes ages 4 and up in Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman wrestling. We’re open to all wrestlers in our community—regardless of gender, school affiliation, or experience.
Whether stepping on the mat for the first time or training for nationals, you’ll find a place here.
Our Philosophy
We train hard, respect the grind, and support each other every step of the way.
Wrestling should be tough, but it should also be fun—especially for young athletes. At AWWC, we emphasize:
Meeting kids where they are
Scaling training to match skill and experience
Encouraging a love for the sport WHILE chasing medals
