"This was a most eye-opening experience. Not only did I improve my wrestling skills, I also became a more rounded individual and learned to take advantage of opportunities when presented."

Anthony Ashanult

NCAA Champion, 4x All-American, Pan-Am Champion

"This has been one of the coolest experiences I have ever been a part of. Huge thanks to AIA Wrestling for setting this up and making it possible. I have met some amazing people and learned a lot!" 

Seth Gross

NCAA Champion, 3x All-American, USA World Team Member and 5th place 2023 World Championships

"Before my AIA trip I was a devoted Christian and wrestler but saw the two as separate. My trip to Mongolia in 2015 left me with numerous lifelong memories, unforgettable experiences, and a network of other great Christian wrestlers. More importantly I was able to see how my relationship with God and wrestling went hand in hand and that by strengthening one I was also strengthening the other."

Ethan Ramos

NCAA All-American Pan-Am silver medalist for Puerto-Rico, Puerto Rico World Team Member, 5th place 2023 World Championships and 2024 Olympian

"My trip with AIA wrestling helped me grow tenfold with my wrestling and my faith. I felt God move personal “mountains” for me through those few short weeks and I continue to utilize the lessons I took away from that time in my walk with God today."

NAIA All-American, World Team Member American Samoa
