I twice had the privileged of attending Jim Peckham’s Earning the Right to Win wrestling camp. It was a fantastic experience. Jim was a wonderful coach, teacher, and role model.

The camp was run right out of his Two car garage’s Resolite(tm) covered floor. The numbers were kept low, to fit into the limited space.

Each morning, he woke us early, had us perform pushups and situps. There used to be a rope climb, but he had to discontinue it for insurance reasons…but he still had it on the T-Shirt. Breakfast was so healthy that we would spend the rest of the day passing gas.

He taught an insane number of moves: I think he counted to 300. And he insisted we take notes. I thought I had a full set, but it turns out that I got maybe half of them. They stayed locked away until a week ago, when I finally transcribed them. They are not the greatest notes, but hopefully they will trigger a few memories.
