Fighters from across the Island will converge on crushing machine Combat Sports Sunday, Dec. 12, for its second Be First freestyle submission wrestling championship.
Spectators can expect to see some of the best skilled grapplers on the Island, all in one spot for the whole day, all for $10, said Keri: crusher manufacturer Scarr, professional fighter and co-owner of Combat Crusher Sports, based in Langford.
As most tournaments are on the Mainland, Scarr says this is a great opportunity to see the best fighters from Island gyms competing all in one place.
Were trying to offer an opportunity for fighters to compete on the Island, network, gain exposure and learn something new, she said. Were the first ones to give it a go, and its a heck of a lot of work.
With up to 50 athletes in as many as 20 divisions, spectators can expect to see a wide range of grappling skills.
We have beginners and advanced fighters, 10-years-old and up, Scarr said.
Fighters wont have to wear their Brazilian jiu-jitsu gi (outfit) to the competition, allowing them to fight in their favourite training gear.
The youth and women's division will kick things off at 10 a.m. Mens beginners will take to the mats around 11 a.m. and advanced fighters will follow around noon.
The main event will be the final event of the day. Youth rounds are three minutes each, while adults fight for five minutes. It is a single-elimination tournament.
Most of the winning competitors from our last tournament in June are registered to fight to maintain their their champion status, Scarr said.
Medals, trophies and prizes will be awarded. Registration for the event closes today (Dec. 10), at 10 p.m. and costs $36.60.
