The classes are set to start next month for over boys and girls over 18 years of age, and will cover all aspects of pro wrestling in the world today with a firm emphasis on the Mexican masked art of Lucha Libre.

Lucha Libre, literally translated means 'Free Fight', which flamboyantly uses every possible fighting methodology, gymnastics, psychology and techniques available in the world to forge you into a real life superhero or villain in pro wrestling.(Tecnico or Rudo)

 Lucha Britannia's creator, Garry Vanderhorne with Mexico's legendary Luchador, Blue Demon Jr 

There will be a strict syllabus with gradings at the end of each module to denote the progression from beginner through to fully fledged Luchador or Luchadora!
 The course will mix the acrobatic style from Mexico with the traditional British style, covering both countries rich heritage of wrestling and splendour while also giving sufficient module time to the north American style and Japanese strong style of working.
 Upon graduation you will be bestowed a mask and your first Lucha name!
