10/31 Mat Sharks Clinic @ Westerville Central

  • zambrown
    The upcoming season is fast approaching and what better way to knock off the rust and get back on the mat than a clinic featuring Travis Traxler, Head Coach of the Tiffin Mat Sharks. The Mat Sharks had a very successful dual season, including a high placing at the Lock Haven Spring Brawl in Lock Haven PA, a 1st place finish at the Midwest Grand Challenge in East Lansing, MI and a spectacular 1st place finish at the Grand River Rumble in Battle Creek, MI.

    The Clinic will be held on Sunday, October 31st at Westerville Central High School and will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided in the cost of $30. I will attach a pre-registration form as soon as it is completed. All ages are welcome however younger wrestlers should bring a drilling partner to ensure there is someone their size to work with.

    Mat Shark Wrestling Club, how it began... In 2004, Coach Traxler found a need for quality wrestling to be offered in the off-season. As a result, four one day intensive technique clinics were scheduled featuring the experts in differing areas of wrestling! The idea was to pick apart and combine outstanding technique to make a system that was second to none! Since then, the system has been broadened and improved repeatedly! We train by the statement, "If you are not willing to continually adapt and improvise, you will learn a painful lesson from someone who is." This past Mat Shark W.C. season, MSWC competed against the best teams from California, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, and of course Ohio, winning the Midwest Grand Challenge at Michigan State University, the Shark Bait Duals at Tiffin University, and the High School Division at the Folkstyle Dual Nationals to name a few! We train several times weekly and Mat Sharks had outstanding results at this years' regular-season state tournament, producing 53 qualifiers, and 37 placers including 6/8th, 2/7th, 4 /6th, 7/5th, 3/4th, 12/3rd, 2 runner-ups, and 1 State Champion!

    Have you shored up the details of your pre-season tourney, Crusier? Our website (www.wchswrestling.com) is back up and running after some construction and it has an awesome new look to it. I'd like to post your tourney information there if you have it ready yet.

    Here is what Coach Traxler is planning to focus on at the clinic (among other things as well)

    Going to be going over top position for most of the clinic! I will show progressive pressure, bars, tilts, and bar through the crotch series, and transitions from each!

    It should be a good one. Hoping to see a lot of you there!
