Established in 1998, the CZW Wrestling Academy set out to make its mark in the professional wrestling industry. Founder John Zandig realized this by embracing a hybridized style of wrestling now known now as Ultraviolence. With this new take on Professional Wrestling, Zandig and CZW took the world by storm with their radical style, invading Japan and later Mexico and Europe.

In the time since its inception, the CZW Wrestling Academy has evolved into a full-fledged training facility, steering away from its Ultraviolent roots and focusing on creating the most knowledgeable students on the wrestling scene today.

We strive to create well rounded performers, worthy of representing the ideals laid down in the early days of the academy, while making good on the traditions and the evolution of the wrestling business. At the Wrestling Academy we stress safety, discipline, and team work in addition to creating some of the most gifted athletes today, while providing you with a platform and the knowledge to succeed in every facet of professional wrestling.
