Letter From RAW 241 Parent

2010-07-11T01:03:00Z

John,

You asked me to put into written words the last conversation we had. It is with great thanks that I submit this note to you. I took the time to put a lot of thought into for the sake of writing from my families heart.

As a husband and father, I hold dearly the influences I allow into our families lives. My children are a reflection of our lives. I want my reflection to have value and no remorse. With that in mind, when you entered into our son's life we believed in you and we trusted you too. We did it unwavering and we encourage our son to stay focus. So you kept your promise to aid him in his foundation and growth. For that we thank you. But more importantly we know the future ahead is even brighter because this is just one phase in God's plan for you, him, and the young people you will continue to touch.

Thanks for the Promises You Kept,

Robert, Alicia

Robert II, Chelsea, Jared,

Avery, Nijewel, and Amiel

The Worthy 30 : Phase I & Phase III

2010-05-11T15:34:00Z

Parents/Wrestlers:

So far, both groups that will be training on June 6, are coming together great. Phase I ( 10-13 yr olds @ 4pm) & Phase III ( HS @ 1pm) are filling up with high end competitors --- just as it is designed to do. I urge you to join Facebook ( if you haven't already) and become a member of RAW 241 Training. There, you can see the individuals who have confirmed that they are attending. In Phase III, here are a few names locked in on those confirmations: State Champions - Joe Duca, Taylor Walsh, Josh Dziewa, Issah Meade, Chris Villalonga ,Wayne Purnell,Robert Deutsch , Anthony Baldosaro...plus others still waiting to confirm...the group is expected to draw energy and effort that maybe these wrestlers have yet to tap into. That is my goal, and the reason I created this and brought it to fruition. I want each wrestler to compete and train at a level that even he has yet to witness! I hope to bring out the inner champion , among other champions. If they get taken down, scored on, turned --- come right back and respond as if it never happened. It's important to see how a wrestler reacts to his environment - this environment will surely provide some speed bumps...are you the type to roll right over them, or the type who is upended by them?

When - June 6 (1pm-4pm/Phase III & 4pm-7pm/Phase I)

Who - State medal winners ( Phase III) & State place winners ( Phase I)

Where - Mantua Twp., NJ ( directions on website www.RAW241.com)

Price - $30 ( money order/cash by the end of this month) or $45 after the deadline date ( May 31)

Address for Payments - PO Box 1662 Bellmawr, NJ 08099 ( please make money orders payable to Jonathan Johnson)

How dependant are wrestlers on the collar tie???

2010-04-14T15:09:00Z

Some wrestlers --- actually, the overwhelming majority of them --- suffer from , what I coin , separation anxiety . Unfortunately, for them, wrestlers like us, spend time training to beat the contact hungry grapplers ---- with collar tie counters. Oddly, if a guy wants to collar tie and you beat him with a counter , he will come right back in on the next sequence and collar tie again...it's more than just habit for him, it's in his fabric....it's separation anxiety.

The Worthy 30™

2010-04-07T13:02:00Z

On Oct. 24, RAW 241 will be hosting The Worthy 30. The qualifications for our HS class are : State Tournament Medal Winner ( Gold,Silver or Bronze). The minimum requirement for our Phase I ( 10-13 yr. olds): State Placewinner ( 1st-8th). The class will be held in Mantua,NJ. The fee is $50 for the three (3) hour class/session. It includes functional training and our skill/drill set. We alo will cover some video review and live wrestling as well as Fitness/strength instruction from TE. For more info or additional questions, please contact me @ jrock@raw241.com

RAW 241 has created a way for wrestlers of a very high level to get together and train as a group. Many of you have taken your kid(s) to wrestling camps and/or clinics and found that the talent level may not be so "level" --- by contrast, the concept and idea of The Worthy 30 is to eliminate that concern completely.

By design, The Worthy 30 is properly organized into four (4) age brackets: Phase I ( 10-13 yr. olds); Phase II ( Middle School); Phase III ( High School) & Phase IV ( College). The qualifications and requirements for each Phase are different. For example, in Phase III ( High School) the requirements are one must either be a State Medalists ( Gold,Silver or Bronze) from his home state, or he must have placed at a National Event ( e.g. Fargo,FILA's, etc...).

The class itself is comprised of several routines that we use at RAW 241. We include a very sharp and detailed drilling segment, focusing on all aspects of a proper shot ( set-up, type of shot & the finish). Additionally, we incorporate video break-down: we will view a World Class wrestler and understand why he is successful, and we will also watch and see why someone else may not have been successful. The live wrestling in this setting will trump that of what you get at a tournament - by far. At a typical tournament you will wrestle 3-4 times. You will spend the entire day at that event, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. In that time period, you may only wrestle another state or national level wrestler once ( maybe twice). That is 12 hours of time spent, hotel, travel, gas, tolls, food and entry fee to the event, weight cutting, a day off of work....all for the chance to POSSIBLY lock horns with one (1) opponent with a National name. The Worthy 30 will place your son in an environment where he will be challenged by the others in the group. There will be no "down" time. Every wrestler he is placed with in the session will be as good, or better! Iron SHARPENS Iron!!

The final piece of the session is a hallmark of RAW 241 Training - Functional Training. We will put your son through an "NFL Combine" type routine. It includes Plyometrics, AB Bands & RAW Ball....your son will sleep very well that evening - and be rather humble in the morning

If you , or someone you know, meets the criteria, and he is ready to let Iron Sharpens Iron, this is the routine and environment he can flourish in. Please respond by e-mail, or check out our page on FaceBook ( RAW 241 Training) --- you can also confirm on that page.

Wade Schalles Clinic Tonight @ Paulsboro

2010-04-07T12:57:00Z

This evening's class will be "replaced" with a clinic with Wade Schalles. The clinic will be $10 for RAW members and $25 for ay other wrestler. The clinic will last from 7:15-9:00. See you then...

Practice schedule for this weekend

2010-02-25T23:17:00Z

Friday night was originally going to be canceled. many of our young guys want to train as they prepare for states so i will open the doors friday night and get that sweat equity going. We will be in Mantua @ 7:30.

On Sunday we have class - but this Sunday it will be in Paulsboro ( this Sunday only, not a long term switch) @ 3-5.

Scheduling changes can and will occur often b/c we use varous locations and we clearly run into weather issues from time to time. I strongly suggest that members look at the blog site here and also the RAW 241 Training facebook acct. page for any changes etc.

No practice tonight ( 2-10-2010)

2010-02-10T19:36:18Z

Practice is canceled this evening. Hopefully friday will be better. Stay tuned. Check friday again here on the blog to confirm.

9 a.m. class Sunday morning is ON!

2010-02-07T02:33:00Z

See you in Mantua. Snow storms can't even stop us!!
