determination can lead to a win

From May 31 to June 3 Alabaster Wrestling will host Camp Jacob, a resident/commuter camp at the Warrior Wrestling Complex.


Camp Jacob is one of a kind. Exceptional technique as well as strength training, film study, and nutrition will be the main points covered.

However, the primary focus will be on the spiritual and mental development needed to become a champion on and off the mat.

Just as Jacob struggled with the Angel of the Lord, we too struggle with men and with God. Campers will learn what it takes to win the ultimate struggle and become champions of men.




"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
