APPLICATION TO TRAIN

12 WEEK TRAINING STARTING IN JANUARY

APPLICATION FOR CONSIDERATION

-Please allow 3 weeks for a response. Applicants 18 and up, please.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THEN FILL OUT THE APPLICATION BELOW
It is important to consider that the cost to train with us is $3,500. In addition to paying for training you will need a plan for transportation, lodging, and how you will provide for yourself while you are training. You need a clear plan for covering your costs and you should not apply and hope that you will "figure it out". We do not want you to be under financial stress while you train. This should be a fun and exciting time and you will need to be able to focus.
In addition to paying for class and transportation you will need to consider your family and your pets--Would your significant other support your decision to come? It is difficult to care for a pet during wrestling training and many AirBNBs and apartments don't accept them.
TAKE TIME TO BE SURE YOU CAN MAKE THE MOST OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. It is better to come at the right time versus trying to come and "no-showing", ghosting, or quitting the class due to distractions. This journey is a lot of fun but it takes commitment. If you aren't sure you would be ready to come if we approve your application PLEASE DO NOT APPLY AT THIS TIME.
If you are ready to start an amazing journey, and to take a chance on yourself then apply below!

Describe your expectations for starting wrestling training. What are you hoping to accomplish/learn/do? *

Provide a LINK (not just your name) so that we can find you on social media. *

Upload a photo of yourself. Avoid group photos if possible. *

Max file size: 20MB

This application is ONLY for students who wish to begin with the class starting in January. We ARE NOT accepting applications for future classes beyond this. When we are ready to accept applications for a future date we will post that date on the site. If you apply for any other future class other than the one starting in January your application will be deleted. Please type something to let us know you are not trying to apply for ANY OTHER class other than this upcoming one beginning in January. *

Why do you want to do this? All of these answers are valid reasons. We just want to learn more about what you want out of training. *

I want to pursue this no matter where the path leads I'm curious to see if I might have what it takes to make it to a major company like WWE or AEW This is a challenge / Bucket list / I want to push myself to do something hard I love wrestling and I just want to be immersed in the experience I would like to get better bookings on the independent scene

The cost of the 10-12 week course is $3,500 which can be broken down into installments over 3 months. A $500 discount is available if you pay in full. More details available on the site. Is this something you would be prepared to handle? *

No deposit is due today however as we get closer to class you will need a $500 deposit to claim your spot. How long would it take you to have $500 ready if you are accepted? *

You are responsible for your own transportation and lodging. We cannot assist in any VISA process for international students. While we will do all we can to connect you with other students for shared lodging and ride sharing we cannot guarantee any of these. You must be able to get yourself to Tennessee, find a way to class each day, arrange lodging, and (if need be) find a part time job. Have you considered this? *

The JPWA doesn't offer or guarantee lodging or carpool opportunities however students will sometimes try to work these things out together. If the opportunity came up would you be interested in rooming with a classmate? Would you want to be connected to your classmates looking to plan a carpool? Or do you prefer to room and ride alone? *

If you are from out of town what is your budget for what you hope to spend on rent each month? If we become aware of something in your price range we can attempt to let you know about it. *

How did you hear about us? This answer is important so please take your time and select the most appropriate choice. *

FOLLOW UP ::: Tell us a little more about how you heard about us - If you heard about us on a podcast or recommendation from a person please tell us who it was or which podcast. If a wrestler tweeted about us which wrestler was it? If you heard it promoted at a live event which event was it? *

Have you read and do you understand the costs, commitments, and times for the class you are applying for? *

It's ok to take a bold step because conditions will never be perfect. However... consider things like your finances, family obligations, your means of transportation. Take a moment and tell us why you think now is the right time for you to train. *

We have discovered that it is difficult to bring pets along. Many AirBNBs and hotels reject them. You will be at class for extended periods of time. Do you understand that it is harder to attend training with a pet? *

If a major wrestling company came to a close location while you were training would you be interested in volunteering for security, ring crew, extra work, etc if the opportunity comes up? *

Accountability is important. If you apply and are selected we fully expect that you will not "ghost" us on communication or go M.I.A. mid process as this wastes our time and the time of your classmates. We expect you will communicate clearly and if you have any questions that you will email Dr. Tom Prichard at [email protected] - If you don't receive a reply within 3 weeks it is important to check your spam folder. Are you committed to being accountable with prompt and clear communication if we consider you? *

If there is anyone that you need to talk this opportunity over with please do so before filling out this application. If you fill it out we will assume that you are ready to go if you are an accepted applicant. If we call or email you with an acceptance offer it slows the process down if someone says "Let me talk this over with my girlfriend / boyfriend / wife / boss / parents" Do you understand that filling out this application tells us you are completely ready to come and train if you are selected? *
