Does anyone have info on this camp and how many went ?

[shaner10]

It actually went great! He showed some great technique! I may be mistaken but wasn't you there? I may be thinking of someone else that post here under a similar name!

[shaner10]

Edit: my bad, I just realized there is someone else with a similar name that post. Yes the camp went well. #s could have been better but it was worth it! The kids learned a lot and Damon is a great technician! Can't wait to work with him again! I was very pleased!

Good to here

Rasslinlite, I apologize for thinking you were someone else. There were only approx 30 kids or so. Damon did cover a variety of things from motion, hand fighting, take downs, leg defense, and turns. Lebanon is a up and coming club that needed that kind of instruction. I'm really good friends with the new head coach at Lebanon and feel he will turn that program around. Kyle Mitchell is wiling to do what it takes to be a contender but obviously it will take some time. Prior to his arrival Lebanon. Didn't win a match for 2 years. Kyle broke 500 this year going approx 15-15 with 10 freshman starting. Outside of 2-3 freshman they are pretty raw. The middle school team wasn't to bad and the Blue Devil Club had 50+ this year which will help him in the future. Things are looking bright over there. Thanks for asking how the camp went.
