TESTIMONIALS
"Michael Richard Blais is one of the best minds I’ve come across in the wrestling world. I talk to him daily and we bounce ideas off each other all the time. If I was ever stuck on an idea or needed to decide which idea was best I’d reach out to MRB and he’d always make the right call. In the 20 years we’ve been really close we haven’t had so much as an argument or any kind of dispute. MRB has many skills but his greatest might be the skill of being able to convey his teachings so articulately and being able to explain just about anything to anyone about wrestling."
TJ WILSON(WWE'S TYSON KIDD)
"There is no better place to train and no better person to learn from than MRB. He’s so good and so smart and knows the little ways to make things make sense for different people,"
ZOE SAGER
"This is the best and safest place to train in Edmonton. The trainers are knowledgeable and love to teach others. Super fun and supportive school for wrestling."
TARYN FROM ACCOUNTING
"I can’t recommend a better person to learn and train under than mrb.Â
He’s incredibly knowledgable, patient, knows how to break things down, and can also fine tune your wrestling style and techniques to make you an even better performer.  Whether you’re a beginner or experienced wrestler, MRB is definitely the guy you need to train with."
