here in the hereford zone, we don’t do soft. we don’t make excuses. we put our boots on, get to work, and let the results speak for themselves. the zone wrestling club was built on that mindset. we are born from the deep-rooted toughness of this town and are now set on forging the next generation of wrestlers who know what it means to outwork, out-tough, and outlast the competition.

leading the charge is josh asper, a hereford native who carved his name into maryland wrestling history. a 4x state champion, josh went on to wrestle for the university of maryland, where he became a 2x all-american, 2x acc champion, and a dominant force for the terps. after college, he continued to compete, representing the united states of america in various tournaments. his passion for the sport led him into coaching, where he spent time as an assistant coach at both maryland and navy, helping shape the next generation of elite wrestlers. now, he’s bringing all that knowledge, experience, and fire back home to the zone.

but make no mistake, the zone wrestling club is for everyone. our headquarters may be in parkton, maryland, training out of hereford high school and hereford brazilian jiu jitsu, but our doors are open to anyone who’s got the fire to train with us. if you’re willing to put in the work, you belong here.

at the zone, we believe one thing above all else... you get what you give. put in the time. trust the process. focus on progress over perfection. earn the results.

so whether you’ve lived in these hills your whole life or you’re coming from miles away looking for the best training around, one thing’s for sure... when you step into the zone, you’d better be ready to work.
