Curriculum

The school offers training that caters to the needs of wrestlers, managers, referees and valets. Each class is well structured and involves several building blocks that you will need in order to be successful in professional wrestling. A strong emphasis is placed on safety at all times, both yours and the people you train and work with. Each student will be required to sign a waiver that stating that the Chaotic Training Center assumes no responsibility for injuries. Each student is required to furnish his or her own room and board. If you are overseas, you are responsible for applying for your own visa.

The unique aspect of training at the Chaotic Training Center, which we like to consider an edge we have over the competition, is the work we do with students on their performance outside of the ring. High levels of discipline, respect and confidence (not ego) are paramount in the wrestling business, and most schools do not care or bother to instill those "character building" elements into their students' work ethic during the training phase of their careers. Those lessons tend to be learned later on, often when it is too late to amend foolish mistakes. At this school, a lot of time is dedicated to putting across the message that respect is "everything" - that which you earn for yourself and which you show towards others. The focus on having the proper mindset for the business is what sets our students apart from the rest. We like to pride ourselves on the fact that a Chaotic Training Center student is instantly recognizable at a wrestling show anywhere in the world by their attitude, ability, and respect for what they do.

Classes

There are currently three classes per week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays - Tue & Thur 5:45-9pm & Sat 10-Noon. One-to-one training can also arranged when needed/available.

Notebooks

Every student is required to take notes on each class. Notes have proved to be extremely helpful with understanding how certain moves work, and remembering how to perform them. Many students also use their favorite drills in their matches and notebooks are there for reference purposes. Students are also required to hand in their notebooks during the year to be reviewed by the trainers. Having a neat and detailed notebook is a great resource and advantage during training and throughout the rest of your career.

Atmosphere

You'll find the training environment here to be tough and intense, yet also very friendly. Students tend to be both competitive and helpful, which helps maintain a high standard of learning. Weekday classes are often larger while the weekend class usually consists of smaller groups. Our senior students still come in to practice and work on matches for upcoming independent shows, one of the benefits of a lifetime membership offered here at the Chaotic Training Center. Please see management when you arrive to go over all pricing and plan options. We have a policy of all our students working together, which means that new students get to learn alongside our veterans and receive their insight and knowledge about performing and other aspects of the business. No question goes unanswered during a class, and there is always someone willing to help you with your training or show you something new.

Persona/Gimmicks

Students are encouraged to develop a persona or "gimmick" for themselves while they train, as emotion and personality is what puts the entertainment into "sports entertainment". A student has complete control over what they choose to portray - heel or face; the choice is theirs. Over the duration of class it is expected that when students are in the ring they will be in character at all times. This provides an environment that is fun and entertaining while at the same time helping you perfect the finer points of character development.

Fundamentals

The objective of your training with us is to become fundamentally sound in all aspects of wrestling. This includes knowing the basic rules of performing maneuvers, learning the correct way to take bumps, ring position, timing, how to build a match and how to pace it, protecting yourself and your opponent. Fundamentals are the essential building blocks to any successful wrestling career. The one thing all good workers have in common is a solid foundation based upon a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals. Your grasp on fundamentals will ultimately determine how quickly you're allowed to progress to more advanced things. Every student is different and there really is no timetable or guarantee for somebody's first match to occur.
