Our flexible Open Enrollment program is available all year long and is not limited to a specific training timeframe. We work with you at your own pace to develop your skillsets. Full time and part time memberships are available!
We also offer intensives like our Fundamentals of Professional Wrestling bootcamp that runs for six weeks and culminates with a live event giving you a head start on your pro wrestling journey. Attendance is mandatory!
In addition to our open enrollment program and intensives we bring in special guest coaches for seminars, offer in person and remote private sessions, consultation, live event experience, and a living community available 24/7 worldwide via our Discord server. -

Currently both facilities have different schedules and full time coaching staffs as well as slightly different pricing options for our Open Enrollment programs.

Both schools have shared resources and access to our coaching staff, networking, and training support system globally.
Catchpoint Baltimore also has direct ties to EWA in Maryland, a local independent promotion that has been serving the community for over 25 years which provides our students immediate live event experience.
Catchpoint Philadelphia has a slightly larger wrestling ring as well as an in house studio, unique fitness equipment, and a fully functional shower in our restroom.
Catchpoint Baltimore has a full squat rack and bench for strength training, as well as direct access to several merchandising businesses in the shared facility. -

Fundamentals of Professional wrestling is an intensive class designed to teach you everything you need to start out. It's tailored for each individual as the course progresses. On the last day of class you will perform at an in-house event called THE FINALS. We invite your friends and family and hold the equivalent to a standard independent wrestling event featuring you and other members of the Catchpoint community where you get to have your first live matches! After THE FINALS, you get to remain in our network as graduates of the Fundamentals program!
We want our students to take ownership of their career path! Some of our graduates choose to travel and take bookings around the world. Others opt to continue their learning as a part of our Dynamic Training program while they pursue their path in professional wrestling. The choice is yours!
