A Complete Wrestling Training System

Pure Pro Wrestling (PPW) is Michigan’s largest and only touring brand of professional wrestling. For nearly 20 years PPW has produced family friendly live events & trained some of the finest wrestlers  in the state of Michigan. Past students have been featured by wwe, impact, ring of honor, evolve, & gcw. PPW’s development center takes great pride in providing professional coaching for an affordable price. Our passionate and experienced coaching staff are committed to seeing each student succeed. Training sessions are fun yet challenging. Classes provide an amazing social atmosphere where friendships are built and memories are made.

while our staff will push you to your limits, this isn’t a boot camp. Our coaches teach with safety as their number one priority. PPW doesn’t believe in aggressive and abusive physicality and degradation as a way to teach technique; a method traditionally used in other schools. We believe in an abundance of repetition and positive motivation.  Also, PPW doesn’t cram too much information into a fixed time curriculum where students often graduate lacking confidence and the ability to perform at a professional level. Its our goal to give our students the time they need to develop full confidence in their technique and ability to perform.

Our 3 tier curriculum is a comprehensive program with clear objectives to obtain professional status. Students also have the ability to broaden their studies after they turn pro by learning advanced techniques and styles in masters level courses.  Just imagine, you could be a certified pro wrestler w/ a masters in suplexing. Aside from our in ring courses, PPW also offers a variety of business, character development, and promo training to help you become the best pro wrestler that you can be.
