3 Days Winter Break Wrestling Camp 

Hello All,
During Winter break, we hosted 3 days Winter Break Wrestling Camp with over 40 participants. We had many wrestlers from all over including Greensboro, Gastonia, Fort Mill, Rock Hill SC, Concord, Raleigh and Charlotte. It was designed to give wrestlers a distinctive approach in terms of preparation for upcoming wrestling tournaments in early 2010. During the camp, wrestlers were trained and got opportunity to improve their skills in many areas including Russian ties series, take-downs, top-bottom positions, and situational live wrestling drills. ( Next clinic is on Feb 7'th, and Spring Break Wrestling Camp is March 5-7'th, a week before the AAU NC State Championship)
 
On Dec 27  2009, We, As Champions Wrestling School, participated in Dixie Middle School National Tournament in Atlanta, GA. Even though, we did not performed well as a team, it was quite well experience for our wrestlers who just have been wrestling for about average 3 years. In addition, We had several wrestlers who wrestled on the other NC elementary and middle school team and showed great effort. Within these wrestlers are Troy Gregor (first place in the dual team championship) and Brendon Lemmon (fourth place in individual championship) Outstanding performance!

As conclusion, we would like to thank for those who participated in our winter break wrestling camp, and whose who support our program and take advantage of our world class training.
 
*Just as quick info, we moved our preschoolers and Sundays practice to our Matthews location which offer larger space, convenient from any direction and has many fitness equipments we can work with.

Wrestling Clinic;

 
What a fantastic wrestling clinic we had over the weekend with over 40 wrestlers!!!. Participants got opportunity to explore where they are and what direction they are going regarding their shape and knowledge.

We had to move our wrestling mats to the gym because we had many wrestlers who did not register online but walk-in which is still OK but there is no other way around how many wrestlers coming. It was a good problem to have actually. I am more pleased to see wrestling population growing and wrestlers and parents believing in us. 

Now with two locations Champions Wrestling School will continue to bring you the best wrestling work out and learning opportunity!

Wrestling Clinic;

Dear Wrestlers, Parents and Coaches,

I would like to thank you for those who made our wrestling clinic over the weekend. It one of the best clinic we ever had as far as work out. Wrestlers got opportunity to have a wonderful pre-season work out and learned a lots of new wrestling techniques. We mostly touched base on set-ups with Russian ties, take down and finishings. On top-bottom, we emphasized on break-down, leg-in and pinning combination.

But more importantly, during clinic we were more excited to see many wrestlers who are so dedicated to make a difference this year. Over 10 wrestlers who practiced/ and practicing with us are going to participate Super 32 wrestling tournament which is the      biggest pre-season wrestling tournament in the country. And we are committed to provide the best training they can get till then and after.

You can, too, get going wrestling now with us and take advantage of the best training with the best local coaches and wrestlers who are dominating in any tournament they go.

Champions Wrestling School 2008-2009 Wrestling Season Recap
 
Wow, What a wrestling season and a summer wrestling camp!!. First, I would like to thank for those of you who participated our practice during the season and summer wrestling camp last week and made it a phenomenal wrestling camp. Over 60 wrestlers participated and enjoyed learning, wrestling, and meeting with Olympic Medalist and World Champion, Seref Eroglu.
 
Recap of the season;
In 2008-2009 wrestling season, we put extra effort and attention in practice for wrestlers to leverage their abilities. To do so, during the season, we hosted 8 wrestling seminars(clinic), two summer wrestling camps, two mini camps. And we attracted over 250 elementary, middle and high school wrestlers from North and South Carolina in these events. For our 2009 Summer wrestling camp, we brought in Turkish Olympic Silver Medalist and World Champion, Seref Eroglu. Wrestlers got an opportunity to lean world class techniques and got chance to wrestle with him one-on-one during his three day visit.   
 
Successes in 2008-2009 seasons;
Wrestlers who participated our practice and events showed great improvements and success in the championships and tournaments, including; 

• Over 15 state champions,
• Over 20 state placers
• 30 conference champs and placers from every age groups.
• We were so glad to see that almost 30% of the wrestlers who we reached out to were beginners which shows us a great trust in our program and improving interest in wrestling of North and South Carolinas. 

 
Goals for 2009-2010;

• We are committed to providing the best comprehensive wrestling training to the wrestlers in the region and focused on expending our organization into two/ or three different locations and putting together at least 4 wrestling camps and 10 wrestling seminars(clinics).
• As a guest to our future wrestling seminar(clinic) and camps, we are planing to bring in All-American wrestlers, Division I collage-level wrestling coaches, and international level wrestlers for next year.  
• We are also planing to put together an All-Star Team for different Dual and Individual wrestling tournaments. In doing so we bring in the best of the best kids and overcome one of our biggest challenges which is "lack of though workout partner". 
• We plan to host a one of the best national freestyle and greco wrestling tournament in Spring in Charlotte. i believe we have a great opportunity to do it because of the fest growing wrestling population in southeast. This will allow us to encourage local wrestlers and prepare them to be an national and international-level wrestlers.
• it has been my dream that one day i would like to take a team with the best kids in Southeast to Turkey, my original county and which is also one of the bests in wrestling. My action plan is to take the team there for about 15-20 days and have a camp with some of the best clubs (possibly with Turkish youth national team), some dual matches and let our kids one of the best experience they will ever get. I believe it will make a great impact in that wrestler for his future wrestling career. And now it is not too far to do so. It would be right after Spring school season.
• Now, in summer we continue to practice, three times a week on Tuesday and Thursday at 6 pm and Sunday at 1 pm. I believe it is very important to maintain our shape, keep learning and try to get better.  By taking advantage of our summer program and not loosing any time wrestlers get ahead of their competitors. 

 
Sports Nutritions and Supplements;
In July we launched our organic and natural sports Nutritions and Supplements program that will allow wrestlers, parents and coaches to purchase Organic and natural sports Nutritions and Supplements (XS and Nutrilite)  with FREE Shipping for over $75 order. Our vitamins and supplements rely on organic farming techniques and stringent processing standards to carefully grow and extract nature’s most beneficial nutrients so you and your family can enjoy more energy, more vitality, and more life.

AAU NC State Championships

Congratulation to the winners and placers at NC AAU State Championships over the weekend in Greensboro, NC. It was great to see that The Wrestlers from Charlotte area improved and went beyond the expectation tremendously. That is because of the wrestlers' parents who love wrestling and their coaches who put a lot of afford and sacrifice. Therefore, i would like to recognize our local wrestling Clubs;

• Pitbull Wrestling
•  
  Sun Devil
• Mat Maniac
• Titan Wrestling 
• Team Cabarrus

 for their achievement and performance.

Freestyle and Greco Wrestling in Spring;
From now on, Champions Wrestling School is beginning to practice Free-Style and Greco Wrestling in addition to still covering folkstyle  wrestling I wrestled freestyle all my life and coached in the state at collage level. What i experienced is that if you really want to be a good wrestler, you got to practice and wrestle freestyle since it teach you stability, balance, get-to-the point techs, etc. Every move you do may gain you or cost you point. Therefore, you pay extra attention and consider every possibility and

opportunity in freestyle.

  
So i highly recommend to wrestle freestyle and greco wrestling if you want to be a unique wrestler with ability of doing a lots of great moves. To give wrestlers an opportunity of learning freestyle and greco, we are going to host wrestling clinic on April 5'th.
