Lichtstad open Takedown tournament ll

This tournament was designed to level the playing field between disciplines. By utilizing a unique Takedown Ruleset, we bridge the gap between Judo, Sambo, BJJ, MMA, and Wrestling. It’s a true test of pure standing grappling and control.

The goal is simple: create fair, high-intensity matches where the only way to win is to dominate the takedown. In doing so, we aim to build a platform where athletes can elevate their takedown skills and takedown defense in a competitive yet enjoyable environment.

Our motto is simple: fight hard on the mat and inside the cage, with respect — and create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere outside of it.
