How Wrestle Strong Began

Our Story
Amy Action is the owner and Head Trainer of Wrestle Strong Dojo. A retired professional wrestler with a 13-year career spanning the 1990s and 2000s, Amy competed across Australia and also wrestled in the USA for independent promotions.

Before stepping into the ring, Amy trained in martial arts from a young age—starting in Karate before moving into Universal Self Defense (USD). She was the first person at USD to achieve two triple gradings, followed by a double grading. Amy later expanded her fight-training through kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and amateur wrestling, building the foundations for a safe, well-rounded approach to professional wrestling.

During her in-ring years, Amy served as Head Trainer for ACW and TWP, earning a reputation as the top woman in Australian wrestling. She held multiple championships, including:

  • Titan Wrestling Promotions (TWP) – TWP Australian Women’s Champion (4x)

  • Australian Championship Wrestling (ACW) – ACW Australasian Women’s Champion (1x)

  • Australian Wrestling Entertainment (AWE) – AWE Women’s Championship (2002); AWE Lord of the Ring (2002)

  • Junior Kickstart Wrestling – Australian Women’s Champion (only women’s title holder in the promotion’s history)

  • Australian Wrestling Association (AWA) – AWA Women’s Champion (only women’s title holder in the promotion’s history)

  • World Wide Wrestling (Australia) – World Wide Women’s Champion (only women’s title holder in the promotion’s history)

She also became the first female wrestler to wrestle in the men’s division in Australia.

During her active years she also ran a website researching and writing about the history of Women's Professional Wrestling from around the world and was always a strong advocate of furthering women's wrestling to have equal showcasing as men's professional wrestling, .  

In 2018, Amy returned to open Wrestle Strong Dojo: a professional training school focused on developing complete wrestlers who can work a variety of styles and earn real performance opportunities. Since July 2019, Wrestle Strong Dojo has also produced live professional wrestling events—bringing high-energy entertainment to fans and creating a platform for emerging talent to perform in Australia and on the international stage. â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹
