The NWA East Academy is the place where a career in professional wrestling can begin!

Officially sanctioned and operated by the NWA and Pro Wrestling eXpress, the NWA East Academy has trained athletes who have appeared on cards for the WWE, NWA-TNA, WCW, ECW, and the independent circuit, including Europe and Asia!  In fact, many of the athletes on the NWA East roster and on the Pittsburgh wrestling scene got their start in the NWA East Academy!

Pittsburgh native and former Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle (pictured right), who began his career in professional wrestling at the NWA East Wrestling Academy, mentioned the NWA East Academy as a place where an aspiring wrestler can get a start in the sport of professional wrestling.

"If you’re going to learn, learn the right way and do it from someone that knows how to do it. For instance, if you’re in Pittsburgh the NWA East is here. You can learn from guys there, learn the proper way, and prove yourself that way," stated Angle during the interview on the WWE's “Byte This” internet talk show.

The NWA East Academy has a team of instructors more than qualified to teach the finer aspects of the sport of professional wrestling, and who have the knowledge, expertise, and ability to instruct  the basics of the sport to the students of the school. The NWA East Academy offers students the most fundamentally sound training around, where students can concentrate on learning the skills needed to pursue a career in the sport of professional wrestling.

While many wrestling schools may charge outrageous prices, and have a questionable track record, the NWA East Academy provides a complete and comprehensive (not to mention rigorous) training regimen, with a track record over ten years long. The NWA East Academy will not only strengthen your body, but your mind and spirit, and well as teaching the basic and advanced skills necessary to compete in the squared circle.

It is actually quite affordable. A tryout for the NWA East Academy costs only $100. This tryout is necessary to gauge the physical and mental toughness of an individual, and requires no previous wrestling experience. The fee for this non-contact tryout is applied to the total cost of the training program, if you are accepted into the Academy. You must be at least 16 years of age to tryout, and if you are under 18 you will need medical clearance from a physician, and written permission from a legal guardian.

The total cost for training is $1200.
