The Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling team is currently as good or better than they have ever been. On Friday night, feb. 19, 2010 they beat Ohio State by a score of 36-3. Extending their win streak to 60 in a row. This kind of success is unheard of in the sport of folkstyle wrestling. This is made possible in part by their ability to execute to perfection the fundamental folkstyle wrestling moves. One of the best ways for young wrestlers to learn to be better wrestlers is through interactive multimedia training tools like Championship Access Folkstyle Wrestling.

About 20 years ago Michael Clapier had an idea. He wanted to make wrestling easier to teach and easier to learn for coaches, parents and wrestlers. He new that interaction between video with multiple angles would teach kids folkstyle wrestling moves better than any other coaching tool. There was only one problem. The technology did not exist to make Michael’s dream a reality.

So Michael continued to learn the sport by coaching and officiating high school and youth wrestling. Then about 12 years ago technology started to catch up and over the next five years Michael and his team created Championship Access Folkstyle, Freestyle and Greco-Roman Wrestling.

Championship Access Folkstyle Wrestling is the only truly interactive wrestling dvds or videos on the market today. Michael Clapier, creator of Championship Access, said, “By coupling the technology of camera, motion, multiple angles and now DVD technology. We have created for you what I think is the finest coaching tool today.”

Championship Access has created 16 wrestling training discs. Michael now resides in Salt Lake City Utah where he continues to coach folkstyle wrestling. Michael’s son started using Championship Access Folkstyle wrestling since he was a kid and recently won the Utah high school state wrestling championships at 140 pounds in the 5 A classification.

“Wrestling has given so much to us that we wanted to give back to the sport and make some of the skills taught in Championship Access Wrestling Training DVDs available to the wrestling community for free online,” Curt Clapier, Director of Marketing, Sports Training Media.
