Golden Gate Wrestling Club is open to anyone over the age of 18 with an interest in freestyle wrestling. That includes men and women at all skill levels. Height, weight, gender, race, age, disability, and intelligence can be mixed in any proportion to produce a good wrestler.
Beginners are encouraged to join, and you are welcome to come just to watch. Workouts are friendly and physical, segregated by size and skill level for safety.
