The Foundation of Greatness: Why Wrestling?

Wrestling is one of the world’s oldest and most demanding sports. At Alberton Wrestling Club, we believe it offers a unique set of benefits that no other discipline can match.

1. Unmatched Physical Conditioning

Wrestling develops total-body functional strength. Unlike gym workouts, wrestling requires explosive power, elite cardiovascular endurance, and incredible flexibility. It builds the coordination of a gymnast and the core strength of a weightlifter.

On the mat, there is no one to sub you out. Wrestling teaches athletes how to face challenges head-on, stay calm under pressure, and get back up after being taken down. This "refuse-to-lose" mindset is a skill that serves our wrestlers in the classroom and the boardroom.

Wrestling is the premier foundation for self-defense. It teaches body control, leverage, and how to neutralise a threat without necessarily relying on striking. The discipline required to master technical moves translates into a focused, goal-oriented lifestyle.

There is a specific kind of confidence that comes from knowing you can handle yourself physically. We focus on building the character of our "Little Wrestlers" and seniors alike, instilling respect for opponents, coaches, and oneself.

I acknowledge that I bound by, and confirm that I shall comply with, all of the provisions of UNITED WORLD WRESTLING Anti-Doping Rules (as amended from time to time) and the International Standards issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency and published on its website.

I acknowledge the authority of UNITED WORLD WRESTLING, the South African Wrestling Federation and the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) under the UNITED WORLD WRESTLING Anti-Doping Rules to enforce, to manage results under, and to impose sanctions in accordance with, the UNITED WORLD WRESTLING Anti-Doping Rules.

I also acknowledge and agree that any dispute arising out of a decision made pursuant to the UNITED WORLD WRESTLING Anti-Doping Rules, after exhaustion of the process expressly provided for in the UNITED WORLD WRESTLING Anti-Doping Rules, may be appealed exclusively as provided in Article 13 of the UNITED WORLD WRESTLING Anti-Doping Rules to an appellate body for final and binding arbitration, which in the case of International-Level Athletes is the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

I acknowledge and agree that the decisions of the arbitral appellate body referenced above shall be final and enforceable, and that I will not bring any claim, arbitration, lawsuit or litigation in any other court or Tribunal. I have read and understand the present declaration.

1. I fully understand that wrestling is a contact sport and that my participation in this sport, especially in competitive wrestling, exposes me to inherent risks (foreseeable or not) that can result in serious injury, permanent disability or death, property damage and sever economic loss to me, my dependants, legal guardian(s) and/or other possible interested parties (as the case may be).

2. I know that injury and/or loss can occur for any number of reasons including negligence on the part of the South African Wrestling Federation, its associations, its clubs and other members, officials, sponsors, agents, volunteers and others organising, officiating at or participating in wrestling activities held under your auspices (henceforth, I will refer to this group of persons as "SAWF").

3. I appreciate that I, whilst participating in or attending wrestling activities, must exercise extra care for my own person and for others around me. To this extent I confirm that I am familiar with the sport of wrestling and the rules governing this sport. These include the constitution, rules and policies of the SAWF as well as the rules of United World Wrestling (available at www.wrestling.org.za and www.unitedworldwrestling.org as well as on request from my wrestling club and association). I also state that I have no medical condition or impairment that might inhibit my safe and active participation in and attendance of wrestling activities and that I will not participate in any wrestling activities against medical advice linked with an increased risk of injury or risk to my own health and safety.

4. Should I, at any wrestling activity, require medical care and cannot attend thereto myself, I authorise the SAWF to seek, administer, or have administered whatever first aid or emergency medical care deemed necessary for my welfare. I agree that should the SAWF incur any health care expenses, I shall be responsible for all charges pertaining to such health care services, regardless of whether or not such expenses were strictly speaking necessary.

    5.1 I assume full responsibility for all consequences that can be associated with my participation in or attendance of wrestling activities.
