OUR
FOUNDER
Andrew Ciasulli: Father of two, Engineer, Inventor, new product development expert, and the founder of Technique Partner has always been deeply involved with wrestling and MMA. He is a multi-time PIAA state wrestling place winner, wrestled division 1 at Drexel University, and studied muay thai and jiujitsu. Andrew received a full scholarship from Drexel University and after a career ending injury his freshman year he continued as an assistant coach for several years. Andrew currently runs Red Hawk Wrestling Club which has been the home of over 100 state and national champions over the past 30 years.
Andrew invented the first ShadowPartner while trying to teach his kids wrestling. His Daughter, Nora had troubles with making contact and executing her shots. Andrew need a device she could mimic techniques on in a repetitive nature and then apply her new found muscle memory to a wrestling match. The plan worked wonderfully, and we have videos to prove it!
​
After using the frist ShadowPartner during youth wrestling practice for a year Andrew found it so helpful that he knew it was a product that could revolutionize wrestling and MMA at all levels. Through careful design R&D and feedback, the SparPartner and ShadowPartner were born.
