5-Day Camp

We offer a wide range of formats for our 5-Day students. Our 5-Day format is designed to accommodate wrestlers at any level. For beginners, our program is designed to help less experienced wrestlers get a very good grasp of basic wrestling skills. Whether a student has no experience, or just one year, our Primary Beginners program will be a great fit. Our 5-Day program also offers a Primary Format for the intermediate and the advanced wrestlers. The intermediate wrestlers typically have 2-3 years experience and the advanced students, have 4 or more years experience. Please note that students in our Primary Groups will not be required to do the morning run unless they choose to do so. Primary students are not required to attend the Power Lectures but are encouraged to do so. The other aspects that separates the Primary from the Mini Intensive is that the Primary Groups will not do as much live wrestling as the Mini Intensive group.

The 5-Day program also has a Mini Intensive Component. We recommend that students have at least two years of wrestling experience for the Mini Intensive Program. The Mini Intensive Program is for the highly motivated students that really want to be pushed hard during their stay. The Mini Intensive students will have a mandatory 7:00 A.M. run before breakfast, must attend all Power Lectures, will have an opportunity to lift weights and will do more live wrestling than students in our 3 Primary Groups. All of the 5-Day students will cover all areas of wrestling. All students will have at least 4 hours of each area listed below.

  • Basic Takedowns
    All students in the 5-day program will cover, stance, movement, penetration, level changing, basic tie ups, basic set ups and the Single and Double leg Tackle.
  • Other Takedowns
    All students will have an opportunity to learn a few miscellaneous takedowns such as the Fireman's Carry, Duck Unders, Ankle Picks, Upper Body Throws, Arm Drags and other miscellaneous takedowns.
  • Riding and Pinning
    Breakdowns, basic riding position and counters to escapes and reversals will be taught. Arm Bar Series, Cradles, Nelsons, and situational pinning will also be covered.
  • Escapes and Reversals
    Each wrestlers will taught how to maintain a strong working base. Wrestlers will also be taught Stand ups, Sit outs and a Side Roll Series. We also show our students how to flow from one move to the next and work escapes and reversals in combinations.
  • Leg Riding
    Our expert Leg Riding instructors will teach the fundamentals of the Cross Body Ride, Figure Four Grapevine and the Turk Series. Set ups that work into Leg Ride Pins and Defense to Leg Rides will also be taught.

Every 5-Day student will receive Carl Adams' one-hour instructional video on takedown drills (Market value of $21.00) Our 5-Day camps offer a great learning opportunity for wrestlers who want a shorter and very intense opportunity to improve their wrestling. Literally thousands of wrestlers have attended our 5-Day wrestling program over the years.
