Why the Academy?The Twister Wrestling Academy is for serious wrestlers who want to set high personal goals and who want to get supplemental coaching in addition to their local team. The academy is intended on helping wrestlers get the best possible workout partners along with coaches that will provide top level technique and strategy.
The purpose of the academy is to supply the wrestlers with all of the things they need to become champions. Emphasis will be on the systematic learning of basic wrestling skills as well as advanced techniques used by upper level college wrestlers. The coaching staff will include myself, Adam Keiswetter, as well as occasional appearances by UNK wrestlers and coaches.
The goal of the academy is to train serious wrestlers during the off season months to compete in local, state and national tournaments. The technique will be mostly Folkstyle but Freestyle and Greco Roman techniques will also be taught especially in the weeks prior to the state Freestyle/Greco tournament. The Twister Wrestling Academy will focus on 3 areas: Intense Drilling, Technique development, and live wrestling/conditioning. Other topics may include wrestling specific nutrition, mat strategy, strength training, and physical conditioning.
Note-All wrestlers must have a USA Wrestling Card.

Adam's bracket at the RPW Regional Qualifier had two NAIA National Champs and a NCAA Division I National Qualifier. While taking down his opponent in his last match, Adam was elbowed in the face, causing an open wound to his lip, which eventually received five stitches. Pushing through the blood and pain, Adam pinned Ed Gutnik in 2:59 of the first period.
Due to the criteria of the round-robin, Gutnik was stilled named the RPW Northern Regional Champion. Adam may wrestle in the RPW Southern Regional in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 18. Check back for more info, as well as video and/or pictures of Adam in Iowa.
