LITTLE WRESTLERS at MCRPD!
LITTLE WRESTLERS at MCRPD!
BIG NEWS, LITTLE WRESTLERS! MCRPD now offers Youth Wrestling!
Ready to roll, learn, and have fun? Our new coed class for ages 4–7 introduces kids to wrestling through active play, encouraging coaching, and plenty of time on the mat!
No wrestling experience needed! We recommend that children already know how to do a somersault.
We’ll begin with crawling, rolling, and learning how to fall safely so kids feel comfortable and confident. Then we’ll build wrestling fundamentals: stance, movement, takedowns, control, and escapes—all while developing balance, coordination, focus, and teamwork!
There’s no hitting or kicking in wrestling. Kids are paired by size, and a coach stays on the mat with them throughout class.
Meet Coach Kaison Tanabe!
A proud father of two, Kaison wrestled from grade school through college. He was a two-time Virginia state finalist, three-time conference champion, and his high school’s career wins record holder. At Williams College, he wrestled for four years and earned All-Conference and NCAA Academic All-American honors while studying mathematics, cognitive science, and architecture.
Now living in Cleone with his wife and kids, Kaison works as a Product Director for MasterClass—and is excited to share his love of wrestling with our youngest athletes!
