HOW
Grappling No-Gi tournament with clinics, weigh-ins, medical checks, and optional exhibition matches.
Exhibition matches are allowed for all athletes, without restrictions of gender, age, or weight.
The tournament will follow UWW rules for grappling, with a few modifications to promote safety and inclusion. We understand that there are many rule sets in grappling, and this one may be less familiar than others. The grappling clinic will cover this rule set in detail, but we encourage all athletes to review our quick reference guide in advance and reach out with any questions.
