Everyone is welcome to try out a session to see if they feel it will benefit their son. These sessions are all about technique, positioning, and are technical and drill intensive. Having spent 14 years in a division 1 wrestling room as a coach and athlete, I understand the importance of becoming a technical expert at the core positions of the sport, and to learn how to 'wrestle for position' opposed to points.

The full schedule is on www.tonypurler.com

My son has been training with Brett and Tony for 3 or 4 years now. I can't thank them enough for all the effort they have put in to my kid. I have taken my kid all over to train and compete and everyone always wants to ask me what it is like to train with Tony Purler. Sometimes we don't realize how good of a system we have right here in our own backyard. Come out and give it a try.
