If you a planning on competing in the Oregon Open Tournament (or just want to turn up the intensity dial in your training) there are two things you can do that bring out your tournament “A Game”:
1. Saturdays at 12:00pm, Coach Debruge, Oberhue, and Chapman will facilitate “tournament matches”! We will measure out the ring size, have the timers going, and be calling points. There is no substitute for the real-thing. Get your tournament technique, tactics, and strategies razor sharp with lots of goes. We had over 15 guys participate last weekend … and expect more next weekend. You don’t want to miss this GREAT training opportunity. We will continue with Saturday practices through the tournament …. so keep coming in and getting “tournament tough!”
2. Coach Debruge is running a special Oregon Open Prep program for individuals and small groups that want to get some personal attention. Contact him directly via email HERE or call 503.350.3926 to make an appointment with him. He will do a diagnostic of your game and help you make a specialized game plan based on your strengths and attributes. This is a great way to really dial in your plan the month before the biggest tournament in the Northwest! ! !
