Mohsen Haidary
Owner
Head Coach - Wrestling & MMA
"Life is like an echo—what you send out always comes back to you." — Mohsen H.
With over 32 years of experience in Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, Coach Mohsen brings a remarkable depth of expertise to the mat. Wrestling runs in his blood, passed down through generations—from his father and grandfather, both seasoned wrestlers. He was learning moves before he could speak, beginning serious training at just 11 years old. He has competed around the world as a member of the Iranian National Junior and Army Senior Teams, earning an impressive collection of accolades: 8 gold, 6 silver, and 2 bronze medals on the international stage. For the past 12 years, he has been a prominent figure in Australian wrestling, respected not only for his technical mastery but also for his sportsmanship and unwavering passion for growing the sport.
His coaching style blends traditional wrestling fundamentals with innovative training methods and is rooted in the belief that the mat is a mirror—it reflects who you truly are. He fosters a team environment that is both competitive and supportive, while emphasising discipline, mental resilience, and integrity. Mohsen’s values-driven approach goes beyond technique: he teaches respect, confidence, and personal responsibility, encouraging his athletes to succeed not only in sport but also in academics and the broader community. He thoughtfully tailors his teaching to each individual, helping wrestlers sharpen their skills, build lasting confidence, and unlock their full potential.
Focused on nurturing the next generation of champions, Coach Mohsen is especially passionate about working with children and helping them build strong foundations both on and off the mat. He believes that wrestling offers young athletes powerful tools for growth—discipline, resilience, and self-confidence—and takes great pride in guiding them from their very first steps in the sport. Equally, Mohsen is passionate about empowering women in wrestling and all combat sports, championing inclusive training spaces and advocating for equal recognition, opportunity, and respect.
Coach Mohsen is a strong advocate for mental health, openly discussing its importance and ensuring his athletes feel supported both on and off the mat—believing that seeking support is a strength, not a weakness.
In addition to his wrestling pedigree, Mohsen holds a brown belt in Judo and has trained in Sambo, Boxing, and since relocating to Australia, he began training in Jiu-Jitsu. He is currently developing his striking skills through Muay Thai. This diverse martial arts foundation—combined with his expertise in strength and conditioning, elite athlete development, and high-performance nutrition—naturally led him into MMA coaching. As an MMA coach, Mohsen integrates wrestling fundamentals with striking and submission techniques, tailoring programs to help fighters maximize their strengths, overcome weaknesses, and succeed at every level—from amateur debuts to international competition.
When he's not on the mat, you'll likely find him cooking, reading, or reconnecting with nature. Most importantly, his love for his little family is unmatched. They are his greatest priority, and every moment with them is priceless.
