I’m Georgi Ivanov—I moved to the U.S. at 16 with a duffel bag and a dream. I became an Olympian, a coach, and a builder of people. This isn’t a club—it’s a family.

What Parents & Athletes Say

"Georgi and Ivan and everyone involved with this club are individuals with the utmost character and integrity. Not only do their coaching abilities and their wrestling résumés speak for themselves, they’re focused on developing young men and women into being their best selves. As long as we’re in this area, we will never send our children to another club."

"The absolute BEST environment for building character and wrestlers you’ll find. Life changing is an understatement."

"Came for the best 20 day camp from Alaska. Coaches and facilities are amazing. Great camp, highly recommend."

"To say that joining the best wrestler was the right choice would be a tremendous understatement. The depth of knowledge and commitment to detail, not just in wrestling but life as well, is unmatched. The team building environment and support outside of coaching is just a bonus."

"My son, Rylan, has been with The Best Wrestler for just over a year, and the progress he’s made has been incredible. A year ago, he didn’t place at the AAU state tournament in folkstyle—now he’s taken 6th at AAU state and become both the USA Freestyle and Greco state champion. Physically, he’s stronger and more technical, but the biggest changes have been in his mindset. His confidence, discipline, and mental toughness have grown tremendously. The coaches here are second to none—they push the athletes to reach their full potential while building them up every step of the way. Their dedication, knowledge, and belief in these kids make all the difference. We’re proud to be part of this program and highly recommend it to anyone serious about wrestling development. Be The Best!"

"The Best Wrestler is an amazing facility. We have been training here for almost a year & have felt warmly welcomed from day one. Even though we were new to wrestling & new to The Best Wrestler, all the coaches have gotten to know my kids and are always there to help them. New or experienced, they give all athletes personal attention to help them become the best they can be. The quality & level of training is also excellent! From coming in knowing nothing to where we are now in less than a year is a great achievement & something I did not expect, but with the amazing coaches & many classes available I have seen my kids, and many others, flourish & grow tremendously. The coaches also shape the athletes into well-rounded individuals with strong character and life skills. I have seen the improvement off the mat just as much as on it. We are excited & looking forward to the future with The Best Wrestler."
