The Source Wrestling School is the first stepping stone for the potential stars of the Scottish Wrestling Alliance. It is the ONLY full-time training school in Scotland, open 7 days a week and is regarded as one of the best training schools in the UK.

At the training school you will find Scotland’s largest matted area as well as a selection of crash mats, a British sized show ring and a moderate selection of freeweights.

As a new student you will be under excellent supervision and guidance from Head Trainer Damian O’Connor and the training team at SWA in our own fully insured training centre. O’Connor is a 7 year pro and holds a blackbelt with the International Budo Federation in Ring Wrestling, and is a fully certified ring instructor with the IBF. O’Connor has wrestled all over the UK and has recently been training with the WWE during their British tours. Supporting O’Connor is 8 year pro Glen Dunbar as well as SWA founders Peter Murphy and Eric Canyon. Guest trainers from around the UK such as Robbie Brookside, Johnny Moss, Paul Tracey, Jetta, Erin Angel, Jack Gallagher and more will be on hand throughout the year to provide a more varied training.

In October 2011, the Source Wrestling School was delighted to secure Mikey Whiplash in a full time training capacity. Mikey Whiplash is a 12 year pro who has worked all over the world, against some of the biggest names in the world, and is a regular fixture on the All-Star circuit. Whiplash will be with the School from October-March hosting two sessions per week.

Supplementing an already wide array of training, will be New Japan Pro Wrestling’s own, “Prince” Fergal Devitt, who will be on hand during the year putting the best of the graduates through their paces in weekend camps. Throughout the 14+ hours, Devitt will bring his own world-class wrestling knowledge as well as New Japan dojo training menthods for a fun but intense pro-wrestling camp.

At the Source Wrestling School we pride ourselves in taking you through every step necessary at your own speed. There are no deadlines, try outs or down payments required. You pay as you train as we take you through your basic break falls, catch wrestling, promo work, take downs, advanced techniques, character development and advice on fitness and gym workouts.
