OUR FORMAT

Submission Focus:

Our submission-based circuit prioritizes the essence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — mastering the art of submitting opponents through technique and skill. This format fosters an environment where competitors are encouraged to pursue submissions, leading to more dynamic and engaging matches.

Round Robin:

Unlike single elimination formats, our round robin bracketing system provides competitors with multiple match opportunities within their division. We believe in maximizing the benefits of every competition, ensuring that each participant leaves with a wealth of experience.

Engagement:

Our submission-based format keeps competitors and spectators engaged throughout every match, as the focus remains on the pursuit of submissions. Every match is filled with potential highlight reel moments, making Stealth Grappling events must-watch experiences for grappling enthusiasts.

OUR SERVICE

Efficient Events:

We pride ourself on flawlessly executed events that wrap up during the afternoon. Our meticulously planned competitions run like clockwork, ensuring that participants and spectators can enjoy their evening activities without interruption.

Family-Friendly Schedule:

With our commitment to finishing events on time, Stealth Grappling respects the importance of family time. Competitors and attendees can count on our events concluding in the afternoon, leaving ample opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones.

Exceptional Customer Service:

Our customer service sets us apart. We respond promptly to inquiries and are dedicated to resolving any issues or concerns with speed and efficiency. At Stealth Grappling, every participant is valued, and we go above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction.

MULTI-KID DISCOUNT

We understand competing isn't the cheapest, especially if you have more than one mouth to feed. We've got you covered - register one child to compete, and get half off for every additional child!

Please register them without paying, then email us at [email protected] so that we can organise the lower price - we won't be conducting DNA tests or bringing the mailman in for questioning, but if the last names are different then we may ask for some form of proof. Don't miss this chance to give all your kids a shot at greatness. Let's get them on the mats!

PRIZEGIVING

Prizegiving will be held as soon as the division ends - if you place 1st, 2nd or 3rd, please go straight to the podium to receive your medal.

Gi divisions will be run first, then no-gi - If you're competing in both divisions and you medal in your gi division, please go straight to the podium to receive your medal, before changing into your no-gi gear. 

PRIZES

Thanks to our sponsor Alderson Drainage, we will have a range of prizes on offer for our events this year:

Kids Prizes - we'll be selecting 1 division at random, and the winner will be awarded a goodie bag and a $50 gift voucher, for their choice of Auckland Zoo, Kelly Tarltons, Zone Bowling or Game Over.

White Belt Sponsorship Program - we'll be selecting 3 white belts and sponsoring them each a private lesson with one of Christchurch's top black belts, John Lentz. You don't even have to win, we just want to see hard work and a good attitude!

Cash Prize - we'll be putting up a $250 cash prize for the winner of the men's no-gi advanced absolute division.

WHAT IF I'M ALONE IN A DIVISION?

If you're still alone when registrations close, we'll attempt to find a suitable division by merging you up one category in either age or weight.

If we still cannot find you a division or you're unhappy with a merge, then we'll process a full refund. So don't worry about paying for your entry and then getting stuck out of pocket - you'll either get matches or your money back.
