Camp or in-house tournament photo
Summer camps · Kumite · Mortal Combat

Camps & in-house tournaments

In this sport you either win or you learn. Our summer camps give wrestlers the extra mat time to grow before the season starts.

Competing is a skill too, and it takes practice. We host our own in-house meets, the Kumite and Mortal Combat series, so wrestlers get real matches in a room they know.

Sleds, ropes, plyo boxes or speed work
Year round · Teams & individuals

Strength & conditioning

Functional training for power, strength and agility. Speed work sharpens acceleration and deceleration, and agility training teaches wrestlers to react and change direction quickly.

Our core and conditioning program uses balls, bands, tires, plyo boxes, sleds, ladders, ropes and weights, built to improve performance and prevent injury.

Teams or individuals can set up their own speed and agility groups, year round.
Private 1-on-1 sessions are recommended for every wrestler, new or experienced.
