Strong Basics
Positions before moves. Stance, motion, level change, and finish, drilled until they hold up under pressure.

Who we are
All in.
All the time.
A year-round wrestling home in Marianna, Pennsylvania, built by local coaches for the wrestlers of Washington and Greene County.
01 Our purpose
One mission:
your growth
At Valor Wrestling Academy, we are dedicated to helping young boys and girls grow in the sport of wrestling and, more importantly, in life. Over 20+ years of experience, one mission: your growth.
So we teach the sport properly. Positions before moves. Habits before highlights. Neutral, top, and bottom as one connected system rather than a bag of tricks.
Our coaches are from here. They are Washington and Greene County wrestlers who came up through these same programs, wrestled at the Division I level, and came back to coach where they are from.
02 What we stand for
The Valor standard
High Level Technique
Neutral, top, and bottom taught as one connected system, at a level our coaches competed at themselves.
Accountability
Every athlete is held to the same standard, whether it is their first season or their last.
Work Ethic
Talent sets a ceiling. Effort decides whether you ever reach it.
Mental Toughness
Handling adversity on the mat is practice for handling it everywhere else.
03 The building
One roof,
three programs
The academy sits on Main Street in Marianna. The wrestling room is the heart of it, a full competition mat surface with room to run a real practice.
Valor Wrestling Academy
Open. Year-round training for kindergarten through high school.
Valor MMA , coming soon
A dedicated combat sports floor with a cage, heavy bags, and striking instruction.
Valor Recovery , coming soon
Because how you recover decides how hard you can train tomorrow.
