Serving the city of Red Deer and surrounding areas, Ascendancy Wrestling Academy is home to the region's most unique wrestling program. We provide a collection of year-round recreational and supplementary classes influenced by the American style of scholastic and collegiate wrestling, also known as Folkstyle. We offer classes for children, teens, and adults.
Our philosophy is that wrestling can be a sport for anyone, and our mission is to spread the love of wrestling to everyone.

Wrestling is considered one of the world's OLDEST martial arts! As such, its benefits are well-proven. Our programs offer many benefits seen in other martial arts and sports, including but not limited to...
Getting in amazing shape. Lose weight, get stronger, move faster, go longer!
Greater movement skills and coordination, making it an invaluable cross-training option for other sports.
Discipline and self-defense. Reinforce healthy habits, and keep yourself and others safe.
Great way to exercise, make friends, reduce stress, and have fun!
Everyone has their own goals, and Ascendancy is here to help you reach yours. You don't need to be in shape to start. We'll get you there.
American Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu unite! We are proud to partner with the historic Genki Jiu-jitsu to provide the complete grappling experience. Ascendancy now offers Wrestle-Jitsu membership packages for teens (15+) and adults that include access to Red Deer's oldest BJJ program, all in one place.
