Individual approach. Proven results. Family values.
Coach Matthew Bridges brings a unique approach to wrestling coaching, developing championship-level wrestlers through personalized training that builds on each athlete's individual strengths.
"Ohana" means "family" in Hawaiian. At Ohana Wrestling, we believe in building more than just great wrestlers – we build a community of dedicated athletes who support each other both on and off the mat.
Our mission is to inspire as many kids as possible to be the best versions of themselves through the discipline and values of wrestling.
Coach Matthew brings a new and unique approach to coaching wrestling. His coaching style is built upon the fundamental aspects of wrestling, but his unique ability to utilize the individual strengths of each wrestler and incorporate those strengths into a personally developed wrestling style is what sets him apart as a premier coach in the north Atlanta area.
He knows the process to develop championship level wrestlers and will bring out the BEST in your athlete. Coach Matthew draws on life experiences and shares lessons learned on this journey in his coaching.
We're proud to partner with these amazing organizations that support our mission to develop championship-level wrestlers.
"If you're looking for quality coaching that truly looks at your wrestler's skills on an individual level, Coach Matt is your guy. Between my time as a wrestler and the last 10 years plus spent coaching, I've witnessed a very similar, almost universal, approach to how wrestlers are coached. Drill it, kill it, and move on. I've been guilty of this as well as a coach. While this approach is required for learning fundamental skills, it doesn't always transition into developing wrestlers at higher levels. This is where Coach Matt shines. He builds upon fundamentals, but takes time to analyze your wrestler's characteristics, body type, and strengths to develop a style that provides the best opportunity for your wrestler to succeed. Over the last couple months, I've watched my son start develop his individual strengths and start wrestling with more confidence as a result. Come give Coach Matt a shot and see what he can do for your wrestler."
"Coach Matt is really an expert in this field and was able to use his knowledge to break down the skills in a way that my son could understand. He kept my son engaged and encouraged throughout the lesson. After just one lesson, I felt my son had a much better understanding of the fundamentals of wrestling."
"Ohana Wrestling has been an amazing experience for my son! Coach Matthew does an incredible job teaching technique while also building confidence on the mat. My son has especially improved his takedowns and is much more confident in his wrestling overall. The environment is supportive, and you can tell Coach Matthew really cares about helping each athlete grow. Highly recommend!"
