Join the TeamRooted in faith-inspired values and open to all, Ummah United Wrestling is a training home for newcomers and competitive athletes. On the mat we sharpen skills; off the mat we live the lessons—discipline, integrity, and accountability.
The wrestling room is more than mats and drills—it’s where habits, character, and discipline are built one practice at a time.
