Fight Like a Girl 2: The Cuddle Struggle

Welcome to the second FIGHT LIKE A GIRL competition! This UKs Leading female only event, run by women, for women!

What's up my beastly beauties!

It's that time again where I attempt to put on a competition for all of the amazing women in Jiu Jitsu!

The medals for this competition will be the same as before, with bonus prizes to be announced nearer the date of the competition. 


***** MATCHES *****

Matches will be:

 - 5 minutes for white

 - 6 minutes for blue

 - 7 minutes for purple

 - 10 minutes for Brown/Black


***** WEIGH IN *****

Weigh in will take place once, on entry to the venue.

If the athlete does not make her weight, she will be given until 30 mins prior to her category's scheduled start date to make weight.

- I would very much like to state that I would prefer that no one goes out of their way to cut weight for the competition. -

Please sign up to a bracket that you're able to make comfortably, as whilst I understand that this is a competition, it's also supposed to be a fun and social event also. And I don't know about you, but I struggle to enjoy myself if I'm starving...


***** RULES *****

We will be using the standard IBJJF rules, weight divisions and attire. We advise EVERYONE TO READ THE RULES! They can be found on the IBJJF website here - http://ibjjf.org/rules/


***** FORMAT *****

I've simplified the format a little, as issues with the last competition prevented a lot of the scheduled events from happening. So, in addition to the standard Gi and NoGi Brackets, there will also be Adult Absolutes, and the following additions:


***** CALL OUTS *****

Last Year we weren't able to hold this mat, but this year we will be running the Call Out Mat on Mat 4, after the kids fights have concluded.

Do you have a Jui Jitsu Nemesis?

Have you ever wanted to see what it's like to compete against a seasoned veteran of the sport?

Well here's your chance! The Call Out Mat gives you the opportunity to call out anyone at the competition to roll under competition rules!

Fight a friend, fight a higher belt, fight a different weight, on this mat, the world is your oyster!


***** PRE-POST FIGHT FUN *****

Once again, the event will have an Adult Bouncy Castle and a Photobooth for use by all those attending.


***** CHILDCARE *****

A Créche, complete with Bouncy Castle and Ball Pit, so you can focus on your fights without having to worry about the younglings!


***** STALLS *****

There will once again be some vendors at the competition, they will be listed below if they're not associated to the competition.

I will be selling the usual water, cookies, cake, and T-Shirts again, and will be looking to get an Acai Vendor and possibly a coffee vendor.
