    Coach Joel Bauman is a highly touted prospect out of Jackson Wink MMA Academy and one of the most accomplished wrestlers to come out from a great wrestling state of Minnesota. 

    ​

    Joel grew up in a small town of Kerkhoven, Minnesota where he started to wrestle and winning everything in his path. 

    ​

    In High School, Joel wrestled himself to a 4x Minnesota State Qualifier  and won 2 State Championships.  This led him to win a National Championship in Greco Roman Wrestling, but instead of taking a scholarship with the US Olympic Education Center, Joel chose to wrestle for the #1 wrestling team in the country at the time, The University of Minnesota  "Golden Gophers", so he can prepare himself for a career in Mixed Martial Arts.

    ​

    While at the University of Minnesota, Bauman was a Letter Winner being a part of a National Dual Championship Team, while later that year making his first FILA Jr. World Team in Greco Roman Wrestling.

    After all the success on the wrestling circuit Joel decided to hang up the singlet and pursue the career in Mixed Martial Arts. He later moved to Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he now lives at the gym chasing his dream of becoming a great competitor.

    ​

    Joel is an amazing wrestling instructor being able to teach multiple wrestling styles, Collegiate, Freestyle, and Greco Roman, structuring it all and making it effective for Mixed Martial Arts.
