Prof. David Christophe Douillet MSW

Prof. Xavier Marcell Dupont brings 25 years of distinguished coaching excellence to the Napa Valley Wrestling Estates, establishing himself as one of the most innovative and philosophically sophisticated coaches in country club wrestling. Born in Lyon, France in 1979, Dupont developed his unique approach to wrestling through the rich French tradition of martial arts mastery and intellectual precision that has defined French athletic culture for centuries.
His signature philosophy, "The best technique is invisible until the victory is clear," reflects his deep understanding that true mastery transcends mere physical execution to encompass strategic subtlety and mental superiority. Drawing from his extensive study of French martial arts traditions and his master's degree education, Dupont has revolutionized country club wrestling instruction by integrating classical European fighting techniques with modern strategic development.
At the prestigious Napa Valley Wrestling Estates, Dupont has built his reputation on developing wrestlers who possess not only technical excellence but also the mental acuity to outthink and outmaneuver their opponents. His specialized coaching focus on French martial arts integration, technical precision training, flexibility enhancement, and strategy development has produced champions known for their fluid movement, tactical brilliance, and ability to execute techniques with almost supernatural timing.
Dupont believes that wrestling is fundamentally an intellectual pursuit disguised as physical competition. His coaching methodology emphasizes developing resilient athletes who can maintain perfect technical form under pressure while simultaneously adapting their strategic approach mid-match. His wrestlers are renowned throughout the CCWAA circuit for their seemingly effortless victories and their ability to make complex techniques appear deceptively simple.
Based in Lyon when not coaching in Napa Valley, Prof. Dupont serves as a vital bridge between European martial arts traditions and American country club wrestling excellence.
