At the heart of Brooklyn, the Georgian Wrestling Club stands as a home for discipline, strength, and true warrior spirit.
Founded and led by David Prangishvili—a master coach with over 30 years of experience in Georgian Wrestling, Judo, Sambo, and Combat Arts. our club brings centuries-old Georgian traditions into the modern world of martial arts.
David’s journey began in Tbilisi, where he trained from a young age and grew into a multiple-time Georgian Champion, vice-champion of the Caucasus in kickboxing, international Judo competitor, and a respected coach across Georgia and the United States. His life has been dedicated to building athletes, shaping character, and preserving Georgian culture through sport
In 2011, after moving to New York, David founded the Georgian Wrestling Club with one mission:
to give every child and adult a place to grow stronger—physically, mentally, and culturally.
What began as a small group of passionate students has grown into a respected training center earning national and international results, producing champions, and guiding hundreds of young athletes toward confidence and discipline.
David’s dedication was honored by NYC Mayor Eric Adams, the Brooklyn Borough Office, and the New York State Assembly for outstanding cultural integration and commitment to youth development. These recognitions reflect not only his coaching skill but his deep influence on the community.
Today, the Georgian Wrestling Club is more than a gym.
It is:
• A family where kids learn discipline, respect, and confidence
• A competitive team for teens hungry for success
• A training home for adults seeking strength, health, and mastery
• A cultural bridge, preserving the proud spirit of Georgian wrestling in America
With a combination of expert technique, sports science, injury-prevention training, and David’s legendary coaching philosophy, our club creates an environment where champions are not just made—they are shaped for life.
Whether you dream of stepping onto the mat for the first time or winning your next championship, this is the place where your journey begins.
