Saving lives with wrestling!

BASED - The "Beat Aussie Streets Every Day" program & The Karen Gregory story.

Karen began wrestling at age 6, from a broken home she struggled with her home situation and high conflict environment. In the sport of wrestling she found ways to manage her emotions and environment which in turn led to her success in many areas of her life.

Despite all this Kray still has many struggles with their mental health, but while it was a challenge they believe that sport was a main reason why it was not as bad as many of their friends. Inspired by the "Beat The Streets" (BTS) program in America and "Beat Our Streets Singapore" (BOSS) program Kray developed an Australian version "Beat Aussie Streets Every Day" (BASED) to share the sport and help other young people find the lessons most wrestlers take for granted.

Around the program grew the organisation to support young people like Kray who want to get into the sport and their families to make it all possible.

Today young people and families can begin their journey with the BASED 10 week program run at any school, club or in a community with the desire to make it happen via Beat Aussie Streets at www.beataussiestreets.org.
