Wrestling Club Program
Folkstyle and Free Style
At DURO, our Wrestling Program is led by Coach Josh, a highly accomplished athlete and mentor. As a 4-time state qualifier, 3-time state place winner, and 2-time state finalist, he played a key role in securing 4 Group 1 State Championships. His national achievements include top placements at the Fargo Freestyle Nationals, Super 32, and Flonationals, finishing high school ranked among the top 5 wrestlers in the country. Now at DURO, Coach Josh brings his expertise and passion to guide the next generation of grapplers.
Designed for all ages and skill levels, our program offers small class sizes for personalized coaching that focuses on technique, strength, and mental toughness. Guest instructors further enrich the experience, bringing fresh perspectives and specialized knowledge. Rooted in DURO’s core values of community, resilience, perseverance, growth, and faith, we help wrestlers unlock their inner champion while building confidence, discipline, and technical skill—both on and off the mat.

The Origin of "Duro"
At Duro Wrestling and Martial Arts, the name "Duro" carries a deeper, personal significance. It began with the encouraging voice of our co-founder's mother, who, during his early wrestling days, would cheer, "Duro Joshua, Duro!"—a rallying cry that resonated with strength, resilience, and endurance.
"Duro," meaning "hard" or "durable" in Spanish, became a mantra that guided Josh through the rigors of youth wrestling, high school and college competitions, and eventually, MMA. It was the voice of his parents, instilling him with the spirit of perseverance, that inspired him to push harder, fight stronger, and never give up.
When it came time to name our gym, the choice was clear. Duro Martial Arts and Performance Training is a tribute to the unwavering support of our founder’s parents, a testament to his journey as a young athlete, and a symbol of the resilience we aim to cultivate in every individual who walks through our doors.
