Our secret to success is simple. There is no secret. Hard work, dedication, discipline, commitment, and sacrifice are the founding morals behind The 1% Rule.

Welcome to Austin Wrestling Academy! We are excited to hit the mats with you. To participate in any of programs a USA Wrestling Athlete Card must be purchased. These are MANDATORY. Austin Wrestling Academy is a Chartered Club under the provisions and sanctions of the USA Wrestling Governing Body. These cards ensure athletes are safe both on and off the mat. Each coach has gone through a strenuous training and yearly background checks to facilitate the safest environments for our athletes.
$55.00 per athlete. This is mandatory before a wrestler may be allowed to step on a mat. Make sure to affiliate your wrestler with our club, Austin Wrestling Academy! Note cards are current from September 1-August 31 and must be renewed yearly.
