Dirty Dozen Part II
12-Day
High-Performance training Camp
Columbia, Missouri
July 5th – 16th, 2024
Toughest Camp In America
12 Days: Raise wrestling IQ and gain “The Bull” Mentality to be part of the 1%
This camp will be broken down into 4 parts; top, bottom, counter-offense/leg defense, and hand-fighting/take-downs.
This camp isn’t fancy moves, its high-level fundamentals, tactics, mat awareness, mindsets, and positional wrestling that wins matches.
Henson went 71-0 in college winning 2 NCAA Championships, made the Olympic team, took 2nd at the Olympics in Australia, then came back and beat the guy to become a World Champion.
This is great because his first-hand experience provides a system to your athlete that will work in freestyle and folkstyle.
Learn to get out from bottom and I don’t mean rolling around. Learn how to not give up wrists, how to come to your feet, and how to use the rules to your advantage. Learn how to ride tough on top and use legs in a way that puts points on the board, not create a stalemate. Learn to abandon having a defense and gain a counter-offense by using your hands right and learning footwork that will make you faster, helping you to score more just by running corner. Learn a world-class leg defense that flows with your counter-offense, this will start to open up your athletes’ counter-attacks.
Henson finishes off the camp by teaching his hard and heavy hand-fighting skills that forced his opponent to wrestle his match. This opened his opposition up so he could better see his takedowns. In this portion, Coach Henson teaches athletes about higher percentage/low-risk takedown finishes that stop people from being able to scramble.
Camp Goals + Outcomes
Two or three Groups of 12 competing/challenging each other to reach the next level. Coach Sammie Henson will teach all sessions with the support of the other two coaches breaking it down to ensure a one-on-one experience.
