At All Out Effort, training isn't about being told what to do but learning how to move, trust, and adapt. Our approach to training is similar to that of a referee in sports.

We've had people come from DC, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Jose, Orange County, Long Beach, Torrance, New York, and many places other places to come specifically to train and learn from us here in Hollywood. This particular person came all the way from Atlanta.

At All Out Effort, we believe in a play-based approach to movement, where fun and self-determination are essential to consistency—and consistency drives progress. This short documentary follows two clients who wanted to combine this philosophy with their love of pro wrestling.
