Sonny Marchette Wrestling Seminar

Mentor, Ohio
GriffonRawl MMA Academy

On Sunday afternoon, Sonny and John Marchette treated Team GriffonRawl to a three hour wrestling seminar. Sonny is a two-time State and national wrestling champion and spent years at the Olympic Training Facility before coming back home to Ohio where he spent time as a coach and currently competes at the professional level in MMA.The seminar included extensive and detailed instruction on several takedowns to dominate position, positioning on the ground, reversals and takedown defense. The seminar covered the above positions for both pure grappling and full contact MMA and covered work in open areas as well as against the cage wall.All told it was an extensive seminar and everyone learned a great deal. Wrestling instructor, Chuck Schilling summed up his experience by stating, " I get pumped up when I learn different ways of hitting moves that I've been hitting for 10+ years." Team GriffonRawl would like to extend a hearty "thank you" to both Sonny and John for an excellent day of training and we look forward to another seminar in the future!
