Competition Fees

Help these athletes!

**100% of proceeds go toward competition fees for athletes.**

We have a large number of athletes that have an interest in competing, but many are deterred by not only the long distance travel, but also the rising costs associated with it. Fees associated with competing can include physicals, bloodwork, licencing, registration, uniforms as well as travel, meals and hotels - which are all on the athletes shoulders. One competition can end up costing hundreds of dollars, whether you win lose or draw.

Competition is such an important part of Combat Sports and Martial Arts. It teaches you lessons that can't be taught anywhere else other than in front of a crowd of your coaches , peers, and even strangers. It is a safe, life changing experience that they will carry with them forever.

Competing builds confidence, respect and communication skills while staying active and surrounding yourself with a community that also has goals and the work ethic to get them there.

Whether you're currently a competitor, used to be a competitor, or have ever wanted to compete in anything, you understand what kind of difference this will make for these athletes. It takes the financial burden off of their shoulders and allows them to have an experience of putting themselves out there to really see what they're capable of.
