BUILDING CHAMPIONS ON AND OFF THE MAT

Elite wrestling instruction, strength & conditioning,

and a proven tradition of developing champions at every level

Meet Coach Gene

Building champions since the 1990s

For almost 30 years, Coach Gene has dedicated himself to developing wrestlers of all ages and experience levels, including both male and female athletes.  A New Jersey Wrestling Region 5 Hall of Fame inductee, Gene founded CJA Wrestling Club in the 1990s with a commitment to strong fundamentals, hard work, discipline and individualized coaching. 

​

Several of his athletes have gone on to achieve success at the state, national, and collegiate levels, including state champions, Fargo champions, and an NCAA champion. But for Coach Gene, success is about more than medals - it's about helping young athletes develop confidence, toughness, accountability and a work ethic they carry with them for life.
