Grappling Industries Geneva

Hey everyone! Are you ready for a super cool grappling event? It’s called Grappling Industries GENEVA and it’s happening on April 20 and 21, 2024. This event is packed with action and it’s all going down at the Gamma Gym in Geneva, Switzerland.Here’s the lowdown: On Saturday, it’s all about the adults, and on Sunday, we welcome the Masters, Seniors, Kids, and Teens to show what they’ve got. The doors will swing open bright and early at 7:30 am, but the real action starts at 9 am.

 

What’s really neat about this tournament is its format. It’s called Round Robin, which means if you sign up and your group is full, you’re guaranteed to have at least 4 matches. If you’re all about the challenge and decide to compete in both the Gi and NoGi categories, you could find yourself in more than 8 matches! This setup is great because you get to face off with lots of different people, which is perfect for gaining loads of experience.

Now, there are some rules to follow, and you can check all the nitty-gritty details on their website. But remember, this tournament is all about pre-registration. That means you’ve got to sign up early! If you get in before April 6, it’s cheaper, so don’t wait till the last minute. And if you love watching the action, you can be a spectator for just €10 at the door.

They’ve got everything sorted for competitors, from checking who you’ll be up against online to making sure you’re in the right division. And if you find yourself solo in your division, don’t sweat it, they’ll help you out either by moving you to a new group or giving you credit for another event.

The organizers are also super thoughtful about everyone’s safety, with professional medics on hand and warm-up areas for the competitors. Plus, they’ve got these cool TV scoreboards that make it easy to follow along with who’s up next.

And guess what? There are medals for the winners and even special awards for the best overall teams, both for adults and kids & teens. It’s a great chance to bring home some shiny gold for your team!

For those who are passionate about helping others, this event supports a fantastic cause, the We Defy Foundation, which helps disabled combat veterans through Jiu-Jitsu.

Finally, if you’re looking to be part of the event beyond competing, they’re always on the lookout for experienced refs and event staff. It’s a great way to be involved and maybe even trade some work for competition registration.

So, are you ready to grapple? Make sure to register early, and we can’t wait to see you there. It’s going to be an amazing weekend of fun, challenges, and some serious grappling action!
