About Empower Wrestling

We are a family run wrestling self defense school that has been helping children and adults in the Sheffield area become stronger- mentally, physically, emotionally & socially for over 20 years. We specialise in teaching complete beginners to elite and Olympic level athletes and pride ourselves on our welcoming and friendly atmosphere, top quality facilities, and passionate, approachable and knowledgeable coaches.

One of the oldest sports in the world and one of the oldest sports in the modern Olympics. Wrestling was competed for in the first modern games in 1896. Wrestling is a non-striking sport, instead reliant on submissions and holds making it perfect for learning as a self defence technique not just a competative sport.

At empower wrestling we teach both Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling at all weight levels.

Wrestling is encouraged in US Schools, Colleges and Universities as part of both the curriculum and as an extra curricular activity. The movement and techniques learnt through wrestling have been shown to improve academic learning, focus and concentration.

Our focus is to promote and provide these techniques in the UK.

Professional traditional wrestling is not as commercialised as some of the other related contact sports. Yet still the majority of the worlds top MMA fighters have an origin in learning traditional wrestling techniques. Where it has become an intergral part of modern Mixed Martial Arts.

What people say

Reviews from some of our students

I have found my sessions with Omid to be really beneficial as it’s giving me the confidence in so many other areas in my life, not just in self defence. I am naturally a shy girl and struggle to communicate, Omid understands my challenges and has never made me feel uncomfortable. He is great at pushing me out of my comfort zone bringing out the best in me. My progress in just a short space of time is impressive and it makes me feel really good about myself. Sense of achievement.

The sessions with Omid has helped improve my fitness, strength, and I feel safer, happier and I recommend it to all my friends if they want to learn how to defend themselves

Omid is helping me achieve my dreams and my goals, he’s always positive and is always there for me mentally and emotionally before competitions and in life! I would recommend it to everyone regardless of their ability.

Omid has made my future brighter, equipped me with helpful skills in both life MMA and Wrestling, he has given me great opportunities to showcase my skills in competitions!

I feel safer in life, a lot happier mentally and more confident! i am looking stronger and it makes me feel free and I would recommend the sessions to everyone!

The wrestling coaching I've got from Omid has been extremely in depth. Classes are very educational and cover so many different aspects of wrestling in a really condensed time. Omid could not be more welcoming and is very good at breaking down techniques and helping you improve as effectively as possible. Would highly reccomend to anyone.

My 6 year old son has been attending MMA classes for about 4 months now and absolutely loves it. Omid, his coach has a very high commitment to excellence when he is teaching the children, he is very thorough, has a great knowledge of the sport, my child is always safe and most importantly he absolutely loves it! Thanks again guys!
