AAPW

America’s Academy of Pro Wrestling (AAPW) is a professional wrestling school located in Austin, TX. We have over 35 years of experience training pro-wrestlers, managers, referees, announcers, and valets. Our classes are open to both male and female students of all ages. We are an inclusive wrestling school. AAPW is not only a wrestling school but also a community-based organization that provides professional development supports, creative mentorship, and networking opportunities for wrestlers, performance artists, writers, film and audio engineers, and community members from Black and Brown, LGBTQ, and disabled or neurodiverse communities. The age and demographic diversity and broad range of backgrounds among our community members improves the art and craft of wrestling at AAPW, and our unique work, events, and collaborations enrich Austin's cultural productions for locals and tourists alike.
