REGISTRATIONS OPEN MAY 18TH
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to New Zealand's premier submission-only competition circuit! Come prove yourself as one of the best submission artists in the country.
Our round robin, submission-only format was designed with the competitor in mind, offering you multiple matches to ensure plenty of experience on the mats and maximum competitive value.
With shorter rounds and a focus on submissions, our format eliminates stalling and encourages high-paced, action-driven matches that keep competitors fully engaged. Whether it’s your first competition or you're a seasoned grappler, our rules are crafted to deliver the most rewarding experience possible, putting skill, creativity, and technique at the forefront.
