TOM DAWKINS COACHING PROFILE
Working as a multi-disciplinary athlete in a performance art such as Wrestling, I know from experience that the best performances come on the days when I move with greater grace & flow.
Additionally, 20 years of martial arts training and professional wrestling experience have taught me that creating physical chemistry with other performers in the ring is an essential component of delivering any show stopping main event match.
That’s why I’ve created a unique movement coaching system designed specifically to help trainee Wrestlers improve the quality of their in ring performance, footwork and non-verbal communication skills.
Introducing you to new movement patterns drawn from mixed martial arts, professional wrestling, gymnastics and contemporary dance, my coaching will allow you to develop highly refined motor control skills so you can make in ring gains in strength, speed, power, agility, balance and coordination; essential to the consistent execution of high standard matches.
