Description
Are you sick and tired of paying to compete while everyone else—the photographer, the gi company, the açaà guy—is making money? Everyone except the fighters putting their bodies on the line. We are going to attempt to be the change we want to see in the world. We want to see fighters get paid. Not just the top 10–20 black belts in the world. Not just through sponsorships. But through actual competition. So we’re stripping it all back—no fluff, no distractions—just a format where competitors have a real shot at winning cash.
This is about rewarding the people who step on the mat.
