All who attend are friendly and helpful, no one is discriminated against, if you have any problems learning or mastering a move everyone will take the time out of there training session to help. They are more like a family than a Wrestling Academy. Great regular shows, so the wrestlers can show case their talent. A must if you are your child wishes to learn from the best. PPW ALL THE WAY.
Friendly, welcoming, can't speak highly enough of Liam, Nathan and the team for the warm welcome and brilliant advice. If you have any ambitions of getting into the wrestling business in the UK PPW is the cream of the crop.
My two friends and I booked a 2 hour private session here and it was AMAZING! Liam was a fantastic coach. We we were able to do everything we wanted to (and much more) but felt safe the entire time. If you are interested in getting into wrestling, either as a one-off or to attend the courses, I couldn't recommend this place more.
