Inter-Gym Sparring Day

February 22, 2020 @ 9:30 am - 3:00 pm

Free

This February 22nd, we will be hosting a sparring day at our facility in Beaufort SC that we hope you can attend. Whether you would just like to spectate the event or would like to participate in the sparring rounds, we would love to have you visit!

The event will begin on Saturday, February 22nd at 11am and will last throughout the afternoon. Each martial artist that is participating in the sparring rounds will be registered and weighed in by 11am and matches will begin immediately following that time.

As a fully mixed martial arts gym, we will have sparring in 6 categories which will take place simultaneously. The styles represented will be Boxing, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Combat Jiu-Jitsu, and No-Gi Submission Grappling. If you are registering, you can register for multiple styles.

Those registered for sparring will be matched with others in the same category with the same weight and grouped (as close as possible) with similar levels of experience. Since there will be roughly 4-6 matches going at a time, there will be opportunities for your coach to instruct you during your sparring sessions. Beaufort MMA staff will be monitoring the matches to make sure that each martial artist is staying within the parameters of the rules. Rules for each of the styles will be posted after the registration form below.

This is not a competition! There will be no trophies or medals and nothing will go on a sanctioned record of any kind. Your reward for participating is a quality experience and a chance to meet other martial artists that you may become good friends with (or possible rivals).

This is a completely free event! Anyone who would like to attend and spectate are welcome. We will be selling drinks and refreshments and will offer some seating, but you are welcome to bring your own chairs if needed.

We feel that the Southeast has some of the best teams in the country and we look forward to seeing what your team can do!
