JIU JITSU INVITATIONAL & SUPERFIGHTS
Powered By: GROUND GAME THEORY
MAY 24TH, 2025
Ground Game Theory is thrilled to announce its fifth official NoGi Jiu Jitsu competition, featuring a 6-man, submission-only, open weight round robin bracket and several exciting superfights. This event is a continuation of the GGT Submission-Only Invitational tournament series, which aims to run several times per year. In the brackets, matches will run for eight minutes, and everybody fights everybody. The person with the most submissions at the end wins. In the case of a tie, the person with the least total match time for their matches won by submission wins.
This competition will take place at the Miami International Fitness Expo at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Expo Center. Competitors will have an opportunity to win a $500 cash prize while gaining competition experience, exposure via media coverage, status as the reigning champion of a given weight class and inspiring more local competitive activity.
Guaranteed at least one match or a full refund.
