NGW - MRC Bernburg e. V.

Many parents worry about the safety of wrestling for their children, but it’s actually a sport with numerous physical, mental, and social benefits when taught correctly.

At our club, safety is the top priority — we use protective gear, strict rules, and experienced supervision to ensure a secure environment. Wrestling builds strength, endurance, coordination, and body awareness, helping children develop fitness and confidence. It also promotes discipline, focus, and resilience, skills that benefit them far beyond the mat.

Beyond self-defense and physical conditioning, wrestling fosters teamwork, communication, and empathy through group training and shared goals. It also sparks creativity — from understanding movement and strategy to appreciating wrestling’s storytelling and performance aspects.

Overall, wrestling helps children and teens grow stronger — physically, mentally, and socially — in a safe and supportive community.
