Meet the Founders: Branden Loughton & Matthew Hammar
NSAW was built on passion, perseverance, and a vision for South African wrestling. Branden Loughton, the CEO and co-founder, has dedicated himself to creating opportunities for local talent, ensuring that wrestling thrives in Mzansi. With years of experience behind the scenes, Branden is the driving force behind NSAW’s growth, from organizing events to shaping the future of the industry.At the heart of NSAW’s roster stands co-founder and COO Matthew "The Assassin" Hammar, the most decorated wrestler under the age of 30 in South Africa. His journey began in KwaZulu-Natal, but with no local training facilities, he was forced to leave his home to chase his dream. Now, as co-founder of NSAW, Matthew is bringing wrestling back to his roots, determined to give the next generation opportunities he never had. Together, Branden and Matthew are forging a wrestling legacy that will elevate South African talent to new heights.

Bliksems in Bothaville
Deep in the heart of the Free State, Bliksems in Bothaville tells the story of local wrestler Roger Wilters, a man chasing his dream in a town that’s nearly forgotten what wrestling feels like. By day he works to keep his community going — by night he trains to bring the fight back home. This powerful short film captures the grit, heart, and determination that define the spirit of South African wrestling.
It’s raw. It’s real. It’s Bothaville.
