Description

Ground Game Theory is thrilled to announce its second official NoGi Jiu Jitsu competition, featuring a 6-man, submission-only, 165 lb intermediate (blue & purple) lightweight round robin bracket and several exciting superfights. This event marks the launch of the GGT Submission-Only Invitational tournament series, which aims to run several times per year in Miami featuring championship brackets across six weight classes and superfights.

In the brackets, matches will run for six 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 give local grapplers an opportunity to gain competition experience, exposure via professional media coverage, status as the reigning champion of a given weight class, and inspire more local competitive activity.
