There will be two seperate Purler Camps with Joe Wier this summer.

The first will be a "Take Down" camp which will be held at Shakopee HS on July 26-30.

The second will be the "Foundation Camp" to be held at Coon Rapids HS on August 2nd-6th.

These camps are limited to 50 wrestlers. There is a discount for attending both camps, and/or for siblings.

On-line registation can be found at: http://www.foundationwrestling.com/camps.html

The MEA Camp location (Dates Oct 21-23) will be announced shortly.

***From the Camp Flyer*****
Camp Format: NO random moves and recreational drill time with Foundation Wrestling
Like all other camps, clinics, and training that Purler Wrestling provides, our Foundation Wrestling camps will be focused around our reknown FOUNDATION WRESTLING DVD series. At each camp, our small group of 50 or so wrestlers will be taken through all of Foundation Wrestling’s Phase I and Phase II systems. After all is said and done, your son will be an expert at all that these DVDs entail. Your wrestler will have a firm grip on wrestling with their hands (Hand-Fighting) with our PUSH / PULL / HIT / PICK / PASS system, be experienced in a CORE group of leg attack s with an emphasis on CORE setups and CORE finishes. He will also be proficient with an array of CORE secondary attacks, and be an expert at riding legs.

UNDER-TEACH / OVER –DRILL – You won’t learn a new ‘move’ every 5 minutes like at most camps. This camp is drill intensive and your wrestler can expect to his 100s and 100s and 100s of reps at camp. See www.foundationwrestling.com for our technique list and to see what our Phase I and Phase II DVD series entails…your wrestler(s) will master the bulk of this technique.

Only Nick Purler-trained staff members will be instructing your wrestler. These coaches / instructors are either former Purler Wrestling Academy students or coaches for Purler Wrestling Academy. No random high school coaches or random college kids will be in charge of the training. This camp will provide unmatched expertise and the instructors will teach in ‘assembly-line’ fashion and teach everything in counted-steps so the novice wrestlers can learn quickly while the more advanced wrestlers can cruise into the hard-drilling phase. Nick currently uses this system to train his Purler Wrestling Academy (PWA) wrestlers. This academy is the nation’s largest wrestling school and is based in the states of Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas. Countless dedicated wrestlers travel as much as 3 to 5 hours round-trip each week to train with the Purler brothers. PWA has won four prestigious Tulsa National youth team titles in the past eight years while 19 PWA high school wrestlers have signed Division I wrestling scholarships in the past 2 years alone! PWA-trained athletes are aggressively sought after by the elite college recruiters. All students’ training is structured around Nick’s Foundation System of wrestling. Industry leaders have dubbed the Foundation System DVDs as the best instructional product ever produced for the sport of wrestling. Something we are very proud of!

I sawa few kids at the Augsburg camp wearing the Purler T-Shirts and asked them about this camp. What is so "different" about the camp and how long has it been conducted in the Twin Cities?

Also, would it be appropriate for a somewhat newer wrestler (two years)? The kids that were wearing the T-Shirts, were incredible wrestlers, so I thought it might be just an advanced camp.

You can PM me or add the explanation to the list.

Thanks,

AuggieTan

To respond to your question...

While this will only be the third summer that the Purler Camps have been conducted in Minnesota, they have been put on around the country for the last 15 years or so.

What makes this camp so unique is the way the moves are demonstrated. Each move is broken down into approx 6-8 parts. Each part is shown, and then drilled one at a time. Then the move is drilled numerous times until mastery is reached. So instead of being shown 50-100 moves a day the boys are shown 20 or so moves which they master.

The camp is excellent for both beginner and advanced wrestlers. The advanced wrestlers learn to "tighten up" their technique, while the beginning wrestlers learn to the fundamentals.

Hope this answered your questions. Please PM me if you have further questions. My son has been to every Purler Camp offered in the area (we even drive to Green Bay when we have to). Can't say enough good things about it.
