The Hustle & Muscle (H&M) Mat Club is a youth wrestling club currently operating at St. Albans School in Washington, DC.  It was founded to teach boys and girls from ages 6-13 the fundamentals of folkstyle wrestling in a safe and fun environment.  We believe youth wrestling helps children develop balance, strength, flexibility, stamina, and self confidence.  As your children grow, the lessons they learn from wrestling will serve them well in any environment, academic, athletic or social, as they mature into young men and women.

H&M Mat Club also seeks to promote wrestling in the city of D.C. and the surrounding metropolitan area.  We welcome and encourage relationships with other wrestling clubs, high schools, and universities.

The Hustle & Muscle (H&M) Mat Club is certified by USA Wrestling, is a registered nonprofit organization with the D.C. government and has been approved as "public charity" under Code 501(c)3 by the Internal Revenue Service.
