U.S. Armed Forces Fighters and Teams for 1st ever Military Fight Team Championships
February 20, 2010 Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California
Military Fight Teams are needed for a high profile Team vs Team event to be held February 20th at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. This will be a huge production event for both fighter and fans.
Here is a highlight clip of a past Team vs Team dual: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPgsT5jYokM
This event will be of the same format and rules but the venue and production going into this will make it a first of a kind event.
Pankration is an official International style of Wrestling under FILA and closely resembles MMA. The rules stress action and technique while promoting safety and sportsmanship.
The event will feature a team from the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Army (or Guard) in dual head to head matches (similar to High School/ College Wrestling Dual Meets).
The Marine Corps Team has a full roster and is set for this competition! We are now focusing on forming All Star Teams for the Navy, Air Force, Army and Guard.
Each team must have a fighter in each of the following weight classes: - 145lbs - 156lbs - 170lbs - 182lbs - 198lbs - 220lbs
This event will be under Pankration Rules. http://fightleague.org/Rules.html
**Your participation may be in the form of a club sport if your branch of service does not yet have a program for Pankration or Grappling. We hope to make this a All Military Sport and Worldwide CISMS sport (All Armed Forces Olympics) but need to get all our U.S. Branches involved as the first step.
Please contact Jon at jfrank128@cox.net or Corey at slinger2@cox.net if interested in filling a spot or entering a full team. Include your Branch of Service, Rank, Weight, Age and contact phone number.
Serious inquiries only please...
