FCW School of Hard Knocks

Think you've got what it takes to step inside the squared circle?

"Tomcat" Kevin O'Neil and Marc Hogan hold professional wrestling lessons every Thursday evening in their home borough of Dudley. Both O'Neil and Hogan have been wrestling around the UK for the past 9 years and in that time have wrestled for more than 40 different promotions.

One frequent visitor to the school will be former FCW Champion, The Bouncer, who will assist Kevin and Marc in the training whilst there.

• We not only cater for wannabe wrestlers, fancy being a referee or maybe a valet?
• Do you want to be involved in wrestling, but don't fancy taking the hard bumps?
• Maybe you'd like to be a part of the ring crew, or a backstage "gopher"?

Let us know and we'll do our best to get you started.

The one thing we ask for is dedication; if you only come training once a month then don't expect to ever be considered for a shot on a show.

The training is not easy; be prepared for a gruelling 30-minute warm-up/work-out that will include jogging, sit-ups, squats, horizontal leg raises and neck rolls.

Details/Prices

Training is held every Thursday evening from 7:00pm until 9:00pm at a cost of just £5.00 per session. Male/female showers and refreshments are available on site.

The FCW School of Hard Knocks is insured to the tune of £5 million by the Amateur Martial Arts Association. Each student is required to purchase their own personal insurance after 3 lessons at an annual cost of just £20.

Future Championship Wrestling will shortly be announcing details of our dedicated series of shows for upcoming wrestlers. This is something that all FCW trainees will be aiming for on their way to FCW "main shows".
