GRAPPLER'S EDGE WRESTLING!

Grappler's Edge Wrestling will be starting Summer Training for High School Athletes!

This is a high volume 8 week cycle to maximize a normally non-competitive time of year, and/or prepare for an upcoming summer event.

We are going "back to basics"; the focus here is fundamental positioning and strong reliable attacks. Also there will be a strong emphasis on balance, flexibility and power in our conditioning workouts!

Consistent attendance is very important for this cycle! The fee is still only $199, and we'll meet Sundays from 2pm to 4pm.
