History

Hero Wrestling started as a different club called King of the Mat. Based out of King Edward Jr. High (where the name originates from) Coach Mike Dunn (then 27 years old) started a wrestling program at the school working with kids from ages 8-14 in 1994.

 

When the school program wasn't enough wrestling for the athletes in the room, Coach Mike founded King of the Mat Wrestling Club. This allowed high performace training for young athletes at an early age. This elite training turned kids who were only having one practise a week into excellent athletes who trained 5 times a week.  Since then, ​King of the Mat Wrestling Club has had over a dozen National Champions, 3 dozen different medallists, and has been one of the best programs in the country.
