About J Robinson's Intensive Camp
I developed the Intensive Camp concept 25 years ago. I wanted to train young wrestlers who wanted to be good but didn’t have access to the training they needed to be successful. Most of you have no idea where to go to get a commitment from others to help you improve. Our commitment to you is a constant concern at camp. I will be directing each camp on a daily basis, monitoring attitudes and practices.
Since the first camp at the University of Iowa, I’ve developed the Intensive Camp System to include four camps located throughout the United States. Many people have copied my idea but are missing the most important ingredients - dedication and commitment to developing champion wrestlers through a concentrated program. I look forward to meeting YOU at camp this summer!
--Coach J Robinson
The J Robinson Intensive Camp was designed to train the serious wrestler in all four aspects of the sport: technique, strength training, conditioning and mental attitude. Using all four components, our camp stresses learning by doing. Our staff will work out, run, and wrestle with you at camp to help you become the best wrestler you can be.
There are numerous ways to reach the top - our way is old fashioned hard work. We will teach you a work ethic that will remain with you throughout life. You do not need to be the most talented person to succeed, but you must make a commitment.
J Robinson’s Intensive Camp has a totally unique & highly structured program designed to help you become the best wrestler you can by teaching the correct way to wrestle, run and weight train. You will be trained in these three elements because they are the building blocks essential to developing a positive mental attitude. Hard work, sacrifice, discipline and dedication are mere words to most young wrestlers. By the conclusion of your camp experience, you will understand their significance and know how to apply these concepts to your wrestling career and your life.

We will teach you to deal with pressure drive you to stretch yourself beyond what you think your limits are. We’ll train you to extend your boundaries and establish new goals. There are no shortcuts to success: it requires solid commitment, ardent dedication and a strong work ethic. If you are willing to put forth your best effort, we will work with you to build you into the champion you desire to be. The Intensive Camp is physically and emotionally demanding. Not everyone has the desire and dedication required to make it through, but if you accept the challenge, you will become more disciplined and internally motivated. We challenge you to put your physical and mental strength to the test at the toughest camp in the U.S.
