Congratulations to Andrew gamble for making the 2010 wow (world of wrestling) all world team!!! way to go!

5/4/2010 - Colton Howell is in Mexico competing in the Cadet Pan American Games. He earned a bronze medal yesterday, after losing a close match to the Cuban. Colton has been traveling up to Kc for training since 2003, and is obviously very serious about the sport. I expect him to sign with a big time College in a couple years, and hopefully accomplish great things at that level.  This is a huge accomplishment for him, and I wanted to pass this along to all of you. "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions."

Congrats to Jon Trowbridge and Blake Stovall for being Elem Natls all americans, each going 7-0 in the Elem Nat duals! Both from Ks, they helped their squad place 2nd at the dual championships.

_______________________________________________________

Nick sent this short paragraph about Keith Surber. Keith has always been decent, but really broke out and became great the past year or so. He took 5th in State as a Junior, signed with Nebraska, and then won state this year.  Nick's been wrestling with him twice a week for a while now, and it's really helped. He was pretty loyal to Nick's program, and kept attending, regardless of the ups and downs in his wrestling.
The Univ of Oklahoma's Head Asst wanted to sign him, but the Head Coach wasn't very interested. The Head Asst was ticked off when I told him that Keith beat the Defending Junior National Champion 15-4 in the Illinois state finals. And now he's OW at the Senior Nationals. This exemplifies what the sports about. Kids that keep plugging away, allow themselves to be coach able, etc, are the ones that will eventually separate themselves from all others.

Outstanding Wrestler Stats / Keith Surber

Keith Surber of O'Fallon (Ill.) High, the 130-pound champion, was voted the winner of the Jeff Reese Memorial Award as the meet's Outstanding Wrestler. A state champion this year, the University of Nebraska recruit won five matches, advancing to the finals with a technical fall and three major decisions. That included an 11-2 victory over four-time New Mexico champion Louis Trujillo of Rio Rancho High in the semifinals. The 11-2 win ended Trujillo's bid to become a four-time National High School champion.

In the finals, Surber broke a 2-2 tie by scoring a three-point near fall with eight seconds remaining for a 5-3 victory over two-time Iowa champion Levi Wolfensperger of Denver/Tripoli High, the Outstanding Wrestler in the National Junior Championships a year ago. It was one of five finals matches decided in the final 10 seconds

High School Training Sessions

“TECHNIQUE TRAINING”

Kansas City, Mo.

WHEN: Begins March 1st Mon, March 2nd Tuesday. Runs Thru October.

WHERE:  Mondays at Ray Pec HS 5-7pm

              Tuesdays at Kearney HS 4-6pm

WHO: 8th graders up to HS age wrestlers.  Skill level is not important.  All wrestlers will get equal time, and NO wrestler will be some ‘good’ wrestlers training dummy. 

TUITION:  $85/ Month.    ($110, should you wish to attend both Mon n Tues each week)

FOCUS:  Focus will be on key techniques, risk free techniques, footwork, controlling the match, beating better athletes, trouble shooting all bad positions, and winning all the common positions in our sport.  Lastly, your son should become much more athletic and physical in his wrestling style by the end of the program.   Wrestling is about positioning, not who knows the most moves, or who’s done the most live during the summer.

Once is week is a small commitment, but it works, and it has been since 1999!

This was posted a few days ago about how many of the kids that train with my brother have signed scholarships to Nebraska.  Actually Cody Compton signed with them last year and is a freshman there, so that's 5 wrestlers the Univ of Nebraska has signed.  Pretty cool.  If you've never gone to this website, it's a great site, and the main site for College Wrestling.  See you this week.   


InterMat 10.23.2009

No. 19, No. 98 Commit

On Thursday, two more InterMat Top 100 recruits gave verbal commitments to colleges: No. 19 Jimmy Lawson (pictured) and No. 98 Keith Surber. Lawson, a two-time New Jersey state champion, will be staying in the Garden State to wrestle for Rutgers. Surber, a two-time NHSCA Nationals All-American, becomes the fourth member of Purler Wrestling, to commit to Nebraska from the Class of 2010, joining Brandon Wilbourn, Greg Amos, and Cody Magrew (Photo/The Star-Ledger)


Introducing a new Staff Member:

Robb Waters - College wrestler for Baker University.  He, along with is brother Alan, were the 1ST PWA members to join when I start Purler Wrestling in January of 2003.  He's very good technically, knows every aspect of our program, and has a very good handle on our teaching methods. 


*********WEEKLY PWA SITE IN DIAMOND, MO***********
***********TO START NOVEMBER 4TH, 2009************


Starting in November, Purler Wrestling Academy will begin a Weekly PWA training site in Southern Mo (Diamond HS, Diamond Mo.).  This session is scheduled to be a 6 month a year session (Nov-April), but may continue year-round depending on demand.  Sessions will be Every Wednesday from 6:45-9pm.  Purler Wrestling and staff will operate this, in addition to, their current year-round Wednesday session which is held at St. James Academy in Lenexa, KS.  Tony Purler (NCAA Champion, 2 time U.S. World Team Member, former Div I coach) will run every other practice.  A staff member will then drill the kids on the technique and skills covered during his absence.  This is a great opportunity to train with Purler Wrestling and see why Tony has had over 40% of his state qualifiers reach the state finals in 6 out of his 7 years in operation.

To download an application go to Schedule page.
For additional info not located on the site contact tony@purlerwrestling.com, 816-304-0313.

 IMPORTANT NOTE: 

ALL members in the Diamond site must have a paypal account, and use this for their online tuition payment.  We do not want our staff to deal with taking payments, etc.  It is our hope that serious wrestlers in Southern Mo will take advantage of this opportunity.  This site will greatly benefit the numerous wrestlers in the area who have committed to the KC sites, and ease the burdens of drive time, gas expenses, etc.
