I would like to enter competitions where i can fight people who use different styles of martial arts.?
I am not a person who starts fights and is very violent. I just have a lot of martial arts experience and would love to test my style against other styles, and just show prove that i have skill in fighting. I live in the UK and i would love to know how i can get into some kind of local fighting league of some kind. I really cant find anything on the web.Thanks for your help in advance.
Go to a martial art or boxing gym, you should be able to find people who’d be happy to spar with you.
If you are really confident, enter an amateur MMA event, gyms usually have contact with promoters who could arrange this.
good luck!
Here in the states we,(in the past),had “Tuff-Man” contest.
You show up in street clothes,get in the ring,do your stuff.
Check if you have any of these competitions on your side of the pond.
If there isn’t any consider setting one up.
(If your goverment will let you!)
Well depending on where you live there should be amatuer bouts like the “Ultimate Challenge”.
Otherwise just join an MMA gym.
Options may be somewhat limited these days, but look for any martial arts event that is promoted as an “open tournament.” These used to be very popular and well attended, but they have wained in popularity lately. Open tournaments allow anyone from any discipine to particiapte, based on the rules of the event.
My association has its own model of Freestyle Sparring which allows all discplines to participate and also allows grappling, ground defense, pins and controls etc. We unfortunately don’t have any clubs in the UK yet though.
Good luck to you in your search.
