Harbour City Wrestling Club’s mission is to open up the sport of wrestling to the community, and to gay men, women, and people of diverse sexually.  We aim to provide a safe and social environment to provide fitness, self-defence skills, self-confidence and self-esteem. We also aim to increase the awareness of the sport of wrestling in the community. HCWC aims to give back to the Gay community by supporting other community groups by providing group training sessions to help individuals gain respect, self confidence, and provide an alternative social outlet.

As part of building a strong community sporting club, the club aims to build ties with both the local and international wrestling community. Locally, HCWC hopes to support the establishment of other gay/gay-friendly wrestling clubs in other major cities to interact with both on a social and competitive level. Internationally, HCWC hopes to build links with existing clubs and help in building a stronger more united wrestling community. As a direct outcome of international wrestlers, including HCWC members, networking at the Gay Games in Cologne 2010, Wrestlers Without Borders (a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the sport of wrestling) recently announced the establishment of an annual international wrestling event to be held in San Francisco. With enough support, HCWC hopes to bring this annual tournament to Sydney during Mardi Gras in the near future.

Club members are currently gearing up for the Wrestlers Without Borders Cup III in September 2012. It is not too late to join the team. If you are interested in wrestling, come along and try it out. Your first wrestling session is free. See our Training page for more information.
