About The Chicago Cyclone Wrestling Club

The Chicago Wrestling Club is a recreational Veterans (meaning 18+ and not still competing on a college level) club. We are a lot like a pickup game of neighborhood basketball only with wrestling. We focus on inclusion and individual development of all wrestlers from beginners to national competitors. We have a great core group of wrestlers including coaches (former and current), wrestlers who have stumbled on the club and people that just picked up the sport because they have done similar things like Judo, BJJ or any other grappling.

We are a mostly freestyle club because that is what is out there for the veteran's crowd. We have guys that still wrestle mostly in folk style or or even Greco-Roman tournaments, but the common ground seems to still be freestyle.

Our Motto is "Don't Break Your Toys". Meaning, if you hurt someone, they aren't going to be back to wrestle in the next practice. If you hurt yourself, you wont be back either.

Feel free to ask questions by emailing me or one of the asst organizers. Check out the calendar and come out and meet us.
