We're a Lucha Libre / Pro Wrestling school and venue. We share the gym with U.S. Karate and Boxing.
Arena Hayward was created to continue promoting and teaching the Mexican Lucha Libre and American Pro Wrestling styles in the San Francisco Bay Area. We're based out of the U.S. Karate and Boxing gym which is owned and operated by Joe Olivarez and his wife Crystal Suan.
The head wrestling trainer and co-owner for Arena Hayward is Jason Styles a pro wrestling veteran with 23 years of experience and 18 years of training pro wrestling hopefuls. His versatility in both American and Lucha Libre styles make him one of the best well rounded trainers in the area.
Jesus Cruz is the other co-owner of Arena Hayward and has over 10 years of experience in Bay Area pro wrestling and Lucha Libre wearing many different masks in this industry. From being a videographer, promoter and opening and running the Bay Area's first ever all Lucha Libre school and promotion in 2005.
We're excited to continue training new students and giving already established pro wrestlers another venue to perform and train in.
