Our Story

In 2019, The Chinlock Wrestling School was founded by Justin Cousineau. Later that year, he enlisted the help of long time friend & in-ring rival, KL Shock, to coach alongside him at the school. Since 2019, Cousineau & Shock have grown the school from a small operation to a full wrestling facility complete with a full gym, green screen promo area, and of course, a top notch wrestling ring. They have since trained several current professional wrestlers, such as Alexi Ouromov, and Maxx Karnage.

In June of 2023, Justin stepped down from his management role within Chinlock Wrestling and that promotion is now solely run by Jan Murphy. While we are extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished under the Chinlock name, we’d like to take this opportunity to have our own identity. One that represents everything that we’ve worked for over these past 4 years.

We would like to wish Jan Murphy & Chinlock the very best in the future, and we are excited to unveil the new brand for our school moving forward into the future!
