What Experience Level Should I Fight In?
BE FAIR!
-
EXAMPLE: An Honest Trainer needs to ask themselves this question “Is my fighter good enough (regardless of their record) to fight against a fighter with 11-20 Full Contact Fights which will put them in B Class whether they have 11+ fights or not?” (this is only an example)
​
Note: You Can Fight Up but not down in regard to your fight record – whether semi-contact experience or full contact.
​
-
SEMI CONTACT: We do not count Semi Contact Bouts (PKB, PBSC etc) as real fights! However, the trainer should consider the experience of their fighter and place them in the correct experienced class…regardless of their full contact record -based on the aforementioned statement above. For example: if your fighter has over 10 PKB Fights, ideally, they should go in C-Class Open Division at minimum – See more below. Sand Bagging will be taken seriously.
​
-
A, B, C Classes: We are in the process of implementing A, B, C Classes to try and create safer competition for everyone. This is not done in all divisions at this time…only where we feel it is needed and, or requested. More to come in this development as we want to make sure we keep our event safe, quaint, and with limited fighters. Note: If you have proven experience and skills and not an official record, you still may be able to fight in a higher class but must be approved.
​
Classes to Register: If you have the experience level (not necessarily fights) to compete in the divisions below. Proof may be requested.
