The British Wrestling Council is the world’s first ever recognized governing body for Pro Wrestling in the world. Using a unique syllabus and grading system exclusive to the BWC, over ten schools around the UK are currently making history by being the very first to be able to offer it’s students an independently recognized Pro Wrestling qualification from a real governing body. The intention behind this is to make professional wrestling training safer, more rewarding for the students, correctly insured and independently regulated in order to build wrestling’s respect and reputation in the mainstream from the ground level up.

On top of this, the British Wrestling Council have announced new plans for industry safety standards that have been agreed and supported by over 15 of the top wrestling companies in the UK. These plans are intended to improve the standard, safety and professionalism of British wrestling shows and already has the backing of 2 national newspapers as will intend to nationally promote the scheme from early in the New Year. Moving into 2010, the BWC plans to work with its extremely impressive council of advisors to help properly regulate, assist and nurture the domestic scene back to health and prosperity from both a business and creative standpoint.

Using a Council of Advisors that are possibly the most varied yet impressive collection of individuals the current British Scene could possibly hope to have aid in it’s growth and prosperity, the BWC will give back to the industry in many ways the likes of which have never been seen in Professional Wrestling before. As it is a not for profit organization, the British Wrestling Council will give money it makes back to the UK wrestling community in the form of scholarships for students, equipment for shows, free insurance cover, disclaimers and legal council for our recognized promoters and financial help, mentoring and increased promotional avenues for our recognized industry professional wrestlers.

Look out for the British Wrestling Council seal as the new kite mark for professionalism and safety in British Wrestling from 2010.
