Maui's Takedown Challenge!

MAUI’S TAKEDOWN CHALLENGE December 5, 2026

Calling Maui’s wrestlers, jiu-jitsu athletes, judoka, and grapplers—let’s meet on the mat.

This event brings our communities together to test one skill: the takedown. Whether you’re stepping into competition for the first time or bringing years of experience, come challenge yourself and support the athletes around you.

THE FORMAT

This is a no-gi competition using custom takedown-only rules. There are no pins or submissions.

• Youth divisions, under 15 years: 3-minute matches.

• Adult divisions, ages 16 years +: 5-minute matches.

• The athlete with the most takedowns when time expires wins.

• A lead of three takedowns ends the match immediately.

• If regulation ends in a tie, sudden-death overtime begins. The first takedown wins.
