Origin
How Mat Clash Started
The Spark
We wanted a fun way to teach real wrestling habits—on and off the mat. Cards became the bridge: fast decisions, real positions, and a reason for new wrestlers to fall in love with the sport.
From Table to Room
What started as a classroom tool turned into a game kids played at tournaments, then into a training language we could use in practice.
Why Cards + Wrestling?
Cards make reps feel like play. Players learn timing, risk, momentum—and those ideas carry straight into drilling and live goes.
