We’d like to invite you to come to the Kraken Grapplefest on Sunday 26th September. This is a great opportunity for anybody (both junior and adult) wanting to test their skills and get practice in for future competition and is the perfect first stepping stone if you have a hope of competing at a higher level in the future, or simply if you have no desire to compete at a high level but would just like to test your skills within a controlled environment.

• Gold, Silver & Bronze medals to be won!
• This is an in-house competition only allowing other Kraken members to compete. This ensures that we know all those competing and can ensure that everybody is matched up as closely as possible in terms of age, weight and ability.
• Spectators are emcouraged! Whether this be to enjoy the show, support your child/friend or if you’re toying with the idea of competing. With spectators you get to experience many emotions that virtually all fighters have to learn to deal with. For example, it’s perfectly normal to be nervous – it’s just learning how to deal with them. The more you can put yourself in a competitive environment the easier it becomes!
• You may compete in Gi,Nogi and Absolute divisions. Brackets will hopefully ready the day before.
• We will be following the IBJJF ruleset, point scoring and legal submissions.
• Join us for a big meal (and maybe a few cheeky drinks!) Sunday eve!

As you can imagine, there are a lot of logistics for us to organise and sort, making timings very hard to predict. This is further complicated by not knowing how long each fight will last. Therefore we would be very greatful if you could be patient with us and plan to be at the event for the duration. We will do our utmost to ensure that this event runs as smoothly as possible. Ending time is an estimate!

Please register and pay at reception (cash only). We will alse need you weight (will also be checked on competition day). Registration deadline is Monday 20th September! No late entries will be excepted. £10 for one dicipline and £5 for each additional.
