A Reflection of the KDTC Standard

These rankings are more than numbers — they represent years of consistency, discipline, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines the KD Training Center program. From early morning drills to late-night sessions, KDTC athletes embrace the grind and trust the process every day.

Coach Khaled Dassan and the KDTC staff have built a culture where expectations are high, and effort is non-negotiable. The results speak for themselves — state titles, national medals, and now national recognition across multiple weight classes.

Preparing the Next Wave of Champions

For young wrestlers training at KDTC, these rankings serve as both motivation and proof that the system works. Every athlete who walks through the door learns the same values that have carried these six to national prominence — discipline, humility, and belief.
