For over 40 years, the Michigan Wrestling Camps have been held on the beautiful University of Michigan campus. Our Advanced Folkstyle Training & Competition Camp, one of the finest in the nation, has been one of the most popular camps in the Midwest for decades. Michigan Wrestling is consistently regarded among the top programs in the country, and it only makes sense to learn from the best!

It takes a unique desire and commitment to excellence to become a state champion. That is why we have designed an Advanced Folkstyle Training & Competition Camp. This camp is a combination of technical instruction, drill sessions, situational wrestling, and 6 - 8 matches. The Camp brings together the University of Michigan’s coaching staff and other world-class clinicians proven teaching methods combined with a first class learning and training environment. Participants will build on an existing knowledge base of wrestling fundamentals by committing themselves to technical development, drilling/position sparring and competitive live wrestling. Each wrestler will achieve a higher level of mastery of the sport through:

1) exposure to techniques and training that are currently used at the elite levels of collegiate and international wrestling.
2) practices that are focused and challenging.
3) immersion in an environment that will increase physical capabilities, competitive limitations and mental toughness.

This camp will include technique, drills, and position wrestling from the feet, top, and bottom position. Instruction will cover hand fighting to control tie-ups, multiple set-ups, counter-attacks and tactics of high-percentage scoring technique on the feet. Effective riding and mat returns with an emphasis on turning and pinning will be taught from the top position, which includes breakdowns, wrist rides, tilts, arm bars, and cradles. With an offensive mindset from the bottom position, instruction will focus on high percentage techniques for maintaining a base, escapes, and reversals.

Designed for the more experienced and motivated wrestler, this camp will teach wrestlers how to prepare themselves technically and physically, as well as mentally to win the big matches. Come and train with the WOLVERINES!!!
