‘Wrestling for All’ Clinic at the Camden Kroc

On Saturday, August 19th, Olympic gold medalist and six-time world freestyle wrestling champion Jordan Burroughs hosted a “Wrestling for All” clinic at The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Community Center in Camden, NJ.

Burroughs, a native of Camden attended Salvation Army summer camps and programs in his youth. During the day-long session, he and a team of fellow wrestlers demonstrated the stances, techniques, and drills that freestyle wrestlers practice for the sport. And after, the wrestlers shared their personal stories on how they got to where they are today.

 

Burroughs, a devoted Christian, says he is grateful to partner with a like-minded organization like The Salvation Army.

 

Burroughs said, “I could not have achieved what I have in life without my faith. If you ask me what is one thing that I could give to the world to instantly change it for the better, the first thing I say is faith and a connection with God. The second is wrestling.”
