- Sunday Morning, June 19, 2011: The
Worthy Thirty™
RAW 241 has created a way for
wrestlers of a very high level to get together and train as a
group. Many of you have taken your kid(s) to wrestling camps
and/or clinics and found that the talent level may not be so
"level" --- by contrast, the concept and idea of The Worthy 30
is to eliminate that concern completely.
By design, The Worthy 30 is properly organized into four (4) age
brackets: Phase I ( 10-13 yr. olds); Phase II ( Middle School);
Phase III ( High School) & Phase IV ( College). The
qualifications and requirements for each Phase are different.
For example, in Phase III ( High School) the requirements are
one must either be a State Medalists ( Gold,Silver or Bronze)
from his home state, or he must have placed at a National Event
( e.g. Fargo,FILA's, etc...).
The class itself is comprised of several routines that we use at
RAW 241. We include a very sharp and detailed drilling segment,
focusing on all aspects of a proper shot ( set-up, type of shot
& the finish). Additionally, we incorporate video break-down: we
will view a World Class wrestler and understand why he is
successful, and we will also watch and see why someone else may
not have been successful. The live wrestling in this setting
will trump that of what you get at a tournament - by far. At a
typical tournament you will wrestle 3-4 times. You will spend
the entire day at that event, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. In that time
period, you may only wrestle another state or national level
wrestler once ( maybe twice). That is 12 hours of time spent,
hotel, travel, gas, tolls, food and entry fee to the event,
weight cutting, a day off of work....all for the chance to
POSSIBLY lock horns with one (1) opponent with a National name.
The Worthy 30 will place your son in an environment where he
will be challenged by the others in the group. There will be no
"down" time. Every wrestler he is placed with in the session
will be as good, or better! Iron SHARPENS Iron!!
The final piece of the session is a hallmark of RAW 241 Training
- Functional Training. We will put your son through an "NFL
Combine" type routine. It includes Plyometrics, AB Bands & RAW
Ball....your son will sleep very well that evening - and be
rather humble in the morning

- Sunday, June 19, 2011: Thoroughbred Clinics
RAW 241 is hosting another of it's
Thoroughbred Clinics
Special Guests Clinicians
Jordan Burroughs
&
Darrion Caldwell
Over the past 3 NCAA seasons, these two young man have captivated
the imagination of the wrestling community. Both have pulled off
amazing "upsets" and both have been undefeated NCAA champs. Between
the two of them, in 3 NCAA finals ( 2 for
Burroughs,
1 for
Caldwell)
they only surrendered 1 takedown. Metcalf was the
defending champion and O.W. - Metcalf also was the Hodge Trophy
winner the season before.
Darrion
was the 2009 149 lb. champion and O.W. His incredible, dominating
victory over Brent Metcalf ( Iowa) was a shock to the wrestling
world. He had 4 td's in that match, giving up only a "prevent
defense" type of td with less than 15 seconds left in the bout (
while he was way ahead on the scoreboard).
Caldwell,
the N.C. State graduate, is a frontrunner for the 66 kg slot for
Team USA 2012 ( Olympics).
In his NCAA career,
Caldwell
was 3 x All American ( 1 x Champion). While in HS he was a 3x NJ
State champion, while competing for Rahway. In his senior season as
a Wolfpack star, he entered the NCAA's as the undefeated #1 seed,
prior to leaving the event prematurely, due to a pre-existing
shoulder injury.
During the 2009 & 2011 seasons, no one has been as overpowering and
dominant as
Jordan Burroughs.
The Sicklerville, NJ native has amassed 2 undefeated seasons to
springboard him into his 2 NCAA titles. He was so explosive in 2011
that he was not taken down (last taken down in 2010). At the NCAA
tourney, he didn't even allow anyone to get in on a leg, let alone
score. His stance, motion and footwork - coupled with his hand and
head position - are unmatched by any wrestler in the U.S. (
regardless of age/division). In his final two appearances at NCAAs
he was NOT taken down.
Burroughs was this season's
Hodge Trophy
winner ( the equivalent to the Heisman). He has already put his name
on the ballot ( so to speak) for the 2012 Olympic Team. He has
defeated all comers in the weight class (74 kg) along with defeating
a Russian, to boot.
Please join us in welcoming NJ's finest on June 19 @ 3 p.m.

Time:
