About BASED Wrestling

BASED - The "Beat Aussie Streets Every Day" program & The Karen Gregory story.

Karen began wrestling at age 6, from a broken home she struggled with her home situation and high conflict environment. In the sport of wrestling she found ways to manage her emotions and environment which in turn led to her success in many areas of her life. Following years of struggle and success "Kray" created the Beat Aussie Streets Every Day (BASED) program to help young people like her.

Today young people and families can begin their journey with the BASED 10 week program and many others which can be run at any school, club or in a community with the desire to make it happen via Beat Aussie Streets at www.beataussiestreets.org.

Our Mission

Beat Aussie Streets Every Day (BASED) is about saving lives through the sport of wrestling.

Unlike many "outreach" programs run by adults to help kids. BASED is driven by the young people to help their friends and peers. Adults are involved in the senior coaching and administration roles however at a BASED club you will see young people involved in the coaching, refereeing and administration of the club. Some of them do not even actively compete! They still train and perform essential roles in the clubs, organisation and at events. Their experience in the club also creates opportunities for them in later life through VET and their experience.

We say "saving Lives with wrestling" because this captures why we do, what we do. There is a love of the sport and winning of course (nobody plays to loose), however more important is that the resilience, tenacity, respect and fortitude learned on the mat helps people stay strong and feel confident that they can face challenges and come through the other side stronger and smarter regardless of who "wins". That is what makes the difference between a young person dead on the floor and a young person knocking on the door asking for help.

That is what makes a BASED club! They are a community of young people.

Vision

To make wrestling and grappling accessible to every child in Australia!

Why

Because on the mat young people learn about resilience, dealing with fail-ure, character, responsibility and self reliance to carry them through life.

Passion, we show drive and energy not just on the mat or in the training room but in all aspects of life.

 

Adventure, we take on new challenges, moves and ideas without fear with an open mind. We do not limit ourselves or our team mates. We accept and own our failures not just our successes.

 

Camaraderie, we stand together and support our team mates even when they make mistakes and have bad days. Our team doesn't end when the session does!

 

Knowledge, we never back away from new ideas and information. There is always another view and we will be humble enough to know that we don't know everything.
