The format

Sparring Development

A full day of controlled rounds built around development. Made for young athletes, everyday members and competitors who want honest rounds against someone new, without committing to a full fight.

01

Guaranteed matches

No one drives out here for a single round. Every entrant gets more than one match across the day.

02

Fair matching

Pairings are made on age group and weight, so every bout lands even, safe and worth turning up for.

03

All levels welcome

First timers roll through the same day as seasoned competitors. Bring your club and put your team in front of fresh opponents.

Who it is for

All ages, all levels

From U8 through to Adult. Whether you have never sparred or you have been competing for years, there is a place for you on the day.

After your bout, sign out or go again

Exit the ring towards the sign out desk. Tell the team if you want another bout. If you are leaving, sign out so we do not match you for the next one.
