Membership Fees
Membership fees are the same for both the London and Brighton (Whitehawk) clubs. Members who join can attend practices at either club. We also welcome people who want to join as a supporter.
Note that we only accept payments in cash for our membership fees and practice fees. We do not accept cheques or bank transfers as this complicates admin work for us.
Club Membership Fees

For monthly attendance you pay on the 1st of each month in advance for 12 months. If you do not attend regularly, or do not maintain your monthly payments, you may forfeit your membership. A new membership fee will have to be paid again to start another membership.
To pay per session you must be a member of the club, however if it is your first time, you can come as a guest. This is the price you pay each time you attend a practice. The membership fee must still be paid annually.
At the London sessions we have recently been joined by Lyubo - a coach with extensive experience who has wrestled in both Bulgaria and the US and enjoyed success at national and international tournaments. Those wishing to train with him are requested to pay a £10 coaching supplement per month to contribute toward reimbursing him for his time and skills. Coaching in wrestling fundamentals is still available whether you pay this or not, however those wishing to further their wrestling skills or who might be considering entering tournaments will benefit hugely from his coaching expertise.
