Gagne Wrestling Academy
The High Flyer's Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell team up with Rock n' Roll Buck ZumHofe to present North America's premiere professional wrestling academy. Learn the proper techniques that former World Champion Verne Gagne taught these superstars of wrestling.
Situated in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area of Minnesota, GWA's training center is under the direct supervision of its owner High Flyer Greg Gagne, a former pro wrestler with 18 years experience in wrestling, managing, promoting, and training. Joining Greg is Rock n' Roll Buck ZumHofe, a veteran pro wrestler and trainer in his own right.
The state of the art training facility includes two rings to provide adequate ring time for each candidate, a calisthenics area to develop muscular tone and promote physical stamina needed to carry a professional wrestling match from beginning to end, and three assistance trainers to ensure individual attention for each candidate.
Attention Ladies: GWA has a special individualized training program designed just for women. Training for women, with women, by women. Second generation women's wrestler Heather The Virgin ZumHofe has over 10 years experience in the ring and is waiting for you to sign up today!
