With such limited numbers of wrestlers allowed each
week, it is important to get signed up quickly. Many
high school coaches use our camp as their "team"
camp and will bring 45+ wrestlers...which will almost
fill up an entire camp with one phone call. Each year
we have kids that get left out and it is due to these
"blocks" of wrestlers that can literally fill
up a camp or two in a matter of hours. If you want to
attend, it is recommended that you do so months in advance.

We only accept approximately forty-five athletes per week compared
to the 400+ wrestlers you will encounter at many college-sponsored
camps. Needless to say, your son will get individual
attention from Nick and Tony...the kind of hands-on
attention your son deserves.
Last year's camp had top wrestlers from as far away
as CA, CO, IL, KS, OK, TX, TN, NE, LA, AK, ID, FL and NY. In addition,
these camps have become a team camp of sorts for Purler
Wrestling Academy. Your son will have access to many
of the Nation's top high school and youth wrestlers
that are familiar with our system which will accelerate
his learning.
Because we accept just 45 or so wrestlers each week....our
camp does fill quickly and almost all advertising has
been word-of-mouth. I begin getting calls and reserving
spots as early as January. Those waiting until the deadline
may not get in. You will want to register ASAP if you
are serious about getting into the Takedown Machine
Drill Camp.
Parents are invited to watch the first and last session,
but we can not make over night or daily accommodations.
However, there are hotels nearby.
One week (4 full days) of intensive training by two
of the most technical coaches in America. Nick and Tony
Purler will teach your wrestler the nuts and bolts of
winning wrestling techniques.
"Tony and I believe that we have developed one
of the best training camps in America. Tony and I have
spent over 24 years in wrestling and have been members
of 3 NCAA Championship wrestling teams while competing
for Oklahoma State University. In addition, we have
spent many summers in Team USA Training Camps as well
as the Olympic Training Center preparing for International
competitions. Needless to say, we have been trained
by the best coaches in the World and have much to share
with your wrestler. As full-time coaches, we have also
developed our own methods and system to teaching and
training that enable us to help kids by SIMPLIFYING
the sport of wrestling. While at our camps and academy,
students are taught to focus much of their drill time
in ‘core’ areas of wrestling. It is important
to understand that MOST points are scored from the same
3 areas. Athletes that heed to this advice will see
tremendous improvement in a very short period of time.
Our coaching philosophy is to be EFFECTIVE trainers
and to teach kids to become EFFECTIVE wrestlers."
--The Purlers
Team Camp option:
Many coaches use our summer camp as their team camp. Unlike other team camps, where you simply get more wrestling matches, our camp offers you the chance to expose your team to a ‘system’ of teaching and drilling and one that you can learn along with the team. Coaches that bring 10 or more wrestlers get free room and board at camp and an opportunity to learn a different way of doing things. Simply stated, our teams are not losing matches because we do not have enough live wrestling matches! Our teams are losing because they get 75 front headlocks over the course of the weekend tournament and only scored 9 takedowns! It is very likely that a competition team camp does very little for your team!!
Athletes will be drilled three times a day and taught
a high-percentage scoring system developed by the Purler
brothers and proven on the Collegiate and International
level.
Our offensive scoring system centers around 3 areas:
- 1. Primary offense
- 2. Secondary offense
- 3. Counter-attack offense
Scoring comes from these three areas of offense. To
specify, PRIMARY OFFENSE comprises of leg-attacks, SECONDARY
OFFENSE amounts to ducks, trips, throw-bys, drags, etc
while our COUNTER-ATTACK offense will be based upon scoring
from the front-headlock position and capitalizing on
the re-shot.
In addition, students will learn that scoring is about
attacking your opponent’s wrestling stance and
breaking his position. Aggressive wrestling centers
around attacking the enemies stance, NOT shooting.
Our PUSH/PULL/HIT/PICK/POST/PASS system will provide
the FOUNDATION to our scoring.
Nick and I will hammer home these skills by use of
highly organized, intensive drill sessions so that your
son leaves our camp understanding the art of the takedown.
Furthermore, the only way to become a great technician
is through very focused drill sessions. Ever notice
why your son knows a lot of moves but doesn’t
hit the techniques in live competition? Your wrestler
will learn an approach to training that will solve this
problem. We do not care if you son knows the move, we
care if he muscles know the move. This is how we are
able to go into ‘auto-pilot’ mode on the
mat and hit without warning. We have been trained by
the best in the World and will teach your son to train
like a CHAMPION.
:
The training camps will be held at Cuivre River State
Park and held at Camp Cuivre. Athletes will be housed
in air-conditioned bunkhouses, fed in the cafeteria, and trained
in the rec-hall.Days will be filled with intensive drill
sessions, and other rec-time activities.
In addition to training wrestlers from all over the
US, this camp has served as a team camp for Purler Wrestling
Academy...one of America’s premiere wrestling
programs. Your son will have plenty of training partners
that understand the system. This will accelerate their
learning.
