I have coached for many years wrestling and I have 2 state medalist wrestlers ( Boy and Girl) who both train with Coach Randall. He has really connected with these wrestlers and had pushed them to be better wrestlers. What he does for these kids is absolutely amazing to watch and to see the growth from them working with him. I would absolutely recommend any wrestler, boy or girl to go see Ground Zero

Coach Randall does great with beginners and advanced kids. My son always has a great time when he goes. It was nice seeing so many girls learning to wrestle too. I hope to get my daughter in a class when she's a couple years older.

Over my 15 year career as a head wrestling coach, I have come across few coaches able to connect to everyone. Coach Jennings at Ground Zero Wrestling has the inate ability to take high level instruction and break it down for the individual. He has the heart of a teacher and the soul of a wrestler and his kids repond! I have seen it on a personal level with my own son. Without the support of Coach Jennings and Ground Zero, he wouldn't be where he is today. Simply the best at what he does, and does it with passion!

Ground Zero has been instrumental in my daughter’s rapid skill development over the last year. Coach Randall has created a one of a kind culture within the GZ family! The expectations are high, the work is tough, but the fun and excitement are what brings her back day over day. We love the GZ family so much and are now bringing our younger son as well. If you’re looking for a highly skilled program, stop looking because this is where you need to be!!!

GZ is the place to be! Nothing but amazing training, coaching and life lessons taught at Ground Zero Wrestling. Coach Randall is top notch and teaches strength, determination, and fortitude to each and every wrestler. If you are looking for a place that cares about you and your child then this is the place to be.
Sara Ross
Our daughter began her training with GZ during the 2023 freestyle season, and we wish we had started sooner. Randall and GZ’s reputation speaks for itself. Our daughter said, “Randall’s passion makes it fun, and it makes you want to work hard.” As parents who commute an hour each way for practice, we wholeheartedly concur; it’s absolutely worth the drive. The gym fosters a great atmosphere, where all the kids are respectful and well-behaved. Drama is non-existent. Just come as you are, prepare to have fun, and put in the effort.
Kevin & Meredith Patrum
Coach Randall taught my son how to drill properly and be a good partner. He runs a very efficient structured practice, zero time is wasted and you leave feeling like you fully got your moneys worth. Coach Randall attracts high quality partners from all over the state. Middle Tennessee is lucky to have him!!
Cory Smith
GZ has benefited my sons wrestling so much in the past year of training there. Great coaching and a coach that supports his wrestlers like family.

Ground Zero is the place to be! Coach Randall does an amazing job with kids of all ages. It says a lot when you have kids who have went to college to wrestle and come home on breaks and go continuously work to get better with him. Even in his free time you will catch him in other gyms supporting his wrestlers!
Kristen Amos
My son has been taking group and private lessons from Coach Randall and Ground Zero since he was 5 years old. He has learned not only to be a better wrestler but Coach Randall is helping me turn this young boy into an outstanding young man. He teaches kids to win with humility and if they lose a match then lose with class and learn from it. My son will forever consider himself part of the Ground Zero Gamily as will I.
Jay Trussler
GZ shows youth how to channel their energy to improve technique, character, and overall wrestling performance. The coach takes time to mentor students by working with each participant. Skills are taught, shown, then applied until mastered. The coach spends less time talking and more time showing and doing.
Chasity Lentz
Ground Zero is not just a wrestling club, its a family that doesn't cater to just 1 style or type of wrestler. Coach Jennings teaches to each type of athlete, doesn't matter tall , short , bid or small. He sees and teaches not just the A and Z but all the parts in the middle and we have seen HUGE increases in not just skill but mental and physical toughness. We have 3 athletes with coach Jennings, they are all built different but at the end of the day, they are GZ built and trained. Love this Ground Zero family.

Coach Randell does an amazing job with the kids. He really takes the time to get to know them individually. The kids work really hard, but also get to enjoy the sport of wrestling. He met my son one time and treated him like he was a lifetime member of the team. He is looking forward to going back!
Atheer Alkubechy
When my son started asking about some extra mat time, I started asking around for recommendations. Ground Zero was mentioned by more people than I can count. Anyone from beginners to state contenders seemed to know about Coach Randall. Then, right in the heat of high school wrestling season, Rutherford County teams were benched for a week due to weather. Coach Randall graciously opened up his practice and expertise to any wrestler, from any school, looking for some alternative practices. My son went and was very impressed with the coaching style and enthusiasm for the sport. We live in Murfreesboro but will be making the trek to GZ after the season winds down to get some extra mat time.
Amber Chmelik
Randall was my high school coach many years ago. I know first hand the impact he has on his wrestlers. I immediately jumped on the opportunity for my daughter to be involved in Ground Zero. Randall has created a family and a community. You can see the link between ground zero and success when multiple college wrestlers and state medalists are in his room daily, but you see it off the podium as well when older kids are always at youth practices helping and showing up for eachother. It’s a great environment to be apart of.
Tori Feuerbacher
Coach Randall has always been more than just a coach. He is family. My boys have grown up with a great role model. Randall goes above and beyond for his wrestlers. I have known him for 15 years and he has always been a big brother to both my boys. He loves these kids and truely wants the best for each of them. We are so proud to be apart of the Ground Zero family.

Our son has learned so much from coach Randal it’s crazy he can not go for months and catch a practice and have five different things picked up ready to use in the next match awesome dude and awesome program take them let them learn from a good coach he studies these wrestlers all year you might not know him but he probably knows your kid good dude to know highly recommend him!
Dale & Liz Murphy
Randall has been a coach in my children’s lives for over a decade. He is always encouraging, excited for their wins on and off the mat, pushes them to grow, and cheers them on. From the youngest beginners to the most advanced, he meets them where they are and allows them to flourish, while also working with them in a disciplined manner. The community aspect that has been built at Ground Zero is top notch. At tournaments GZ trained wrestlers and parents are cheering each other on regardless of the team colors they wear. I can't recommend wrestling & being part of GZ enough.
Mae Ann Hale
Great place to learn the fundamentals and then grow well beyond them. A very easy environment to learn in regardless of your skill level. I highly recommend Ground Zero to anyone wanting to learn any style of wrestling!
