Ended this past weekend......... Our Tough On Top Camp should have some wrestlers 'Lickin Their Chops' the next time their opponents choose DOWN. During the live portions of camp, I didn't witness many escapes or reversals, which was great to see. To make a long story short, I had a group of wrestlers that were motivated to TURN PEOPLE. Everything from 11 point cradles, 8 point turks, to bundles, halves, legs, even punishing arm bars. It was nice to concentrate on a position that is often over-looked.
When I competed, I cradled just about everyone I wrestled. I enjoyed the takedown game for obvious reasons, however, I never competed without getting or trying three or four or five or six cradle attempts. Without a doubt, cradles are one of the most dominant methods of getting back points (even pinning.) Over the years, even most recently, I've seen extremely talented State Champion's lose matches by cradles. No need to name names, the point is, THEY WORK AGAINST GOOD WRESTLERS !
If your not trying to set up cradles and score off them, your missing a great opportunity to score a lot of points.
Next up, Team Roehlig's Fall Wrestling Club. More information can be found at http://teamroehlig.com/clubs.

Tom,
Thanks for taking the time to train Marc and Spencer this weekend, they learned a lot and had a ton a fun.
Thanks again,

Just wanted to let you know that Nicky really enjoyed his camp experience.
He seemed to have gotten alot out of it also. Techniques that he really needs to master to beat the better wrestlers you went over... Throwing in the legs, the power half, the guillotine, turks, armbars, etc...
Outside of a simple arm bar, absolutely NONE of that good solid technique has been shown or drilled in Nicky's wrestling club... and here you are drilling boys as young as six in your room! If Nicky had of been introduced to these concepts and drilling them repeatedly during the last three years I'm sure he would have been utilizing them by
now.
Nicky likes you and is looking forward to coming to your camps in the future. Seeing how much he gained after one weekend is exciting to both of us. You obviously have a true passion for the best sport in the world and a sincere desire in developing top level wrestlers. It's also obvious that the boys like you!
