ABOUT US

WELCOME TO THE PURSUIT WRESTLING

Pursuit Wrestling Academy is a 501c-3 Nonprofit. Our mission is to grow the sport of wrestling in SouthEastern Pennsylvania by providing the best training opportunities possible at an affordable price.

Chose to Fight

VISION

At Pursuit Wrestling Academy it is our goal each and everyday to develop the skills that will help our wrestlers have success both on the wrestling mat as well as in life.  The life lessons acquired while working with our coaches and staff will transcend wrestling and help them to be successful in whatever they choose to pursue.

Philosophy

Our philosophy on wrestling is rooted in 3 basic principles to help your athlete compete at their best during the most difficult circumstances.  These principles not only work in wrestling but also in everyday life.

TRUST YOUR TRAINING

Kids need to learn to trust their coaches and partners while learning to enjoy the process. Many times on the mat more is learned from a hard fought loss than an easy pin. Our coaches work with kids to optimize both their physical and mental state going into competition. Not all kids will be state or national champs, but that doesn't mean they can't learn to be coachable and to get better each and every day, regardless of circumstances.

CHOOSE TO FIGHT

This simple philosophy is rooted in the difficulty of wrestling. Its not easy to get on the mat, just like it's not easy in life when things get tough. Our teaching is the choice to fight for yourself. We will wrestle to the whistle and always try to get the last takedown. Choosing to fight is a motto that we all need as life is not easy and no one is subject to a life with difficulty. The more a child learns this trait now the better they will be when life gets difficult.

WRESTLING DOESN'T DEFINE YOU

One thing we preach is that wrestling is a small subset of who each of these kids are and will become in their life. Losses will happen to everyone, heartbreak is common in this sport but it doesn't make you any less of a person. If you are listening to your coaches and choosing to fight, getting better will be the result and that is all you can ask of your child. We know our philosophies will create winners but more important in life is good solid men and women.

About Head Coach Sam Walters

Coach Sam Walters has been coaching wrestling at the high school and club level for over a decade. In that time he has worked with wrestlers of all skills and ages in order to help them realize their full potential. He has worked with PIAA State Champions, Medalists, and qualifiers as well as Multiple National Prep All-Americans. His biggest goal is to help wrestlers earn the opportunity to compete on the college level.

Sam wrestled for Upper Perkiomen High School where he helped his team win a state title in 2006. He went on to wrestle at the collegiate level for Liberty University where he graduated with a degree in Sports Management. He has used his knowledge in the sport of wrestling to help create and grow some of the best clubs in SouthEastern PA over the last decade. He was the Assistant Coach at his Alma Mater Upper Perkiomen for 3 years before taking over as the Head Coach for 3 seasons. During that time he was also the Head Coach for Contender Elite Wrestling Club. In 2018 he decided to join Coach Solomon Fleckman at Germantown Academy, where he started Broadaxe Wrestling Club. The pandemic forced Broadaxe to close, which is when Sam decided to join the Pennridge High School Wrestling Staff. After a few years away from Coaching Club wrestling, he decided to help open Pursuit Wrestling Academy in 2022. He is excited to help grow the sport of wrestling in the Bucks and Montgomery County area!

The Facility

Our Facility is located right in the heart of Bucks County, PA just off of route 313. It features ~2700 square feet of brand new Dollamur wrestling mats. 

The facility’s best feature, however, is the sprung floor that is underneath the mats.  It was installed to provide an extra layer of protection for our wrestlers in order to help prevent injuries while they train. 

The facility also has six Rogue Pullup Bars, Dopamino Bands, and is constantly being updated as we grow.
