KnuckleUp Fighters Competing at Coastal Combat Circuit

This Saturday 30th, KnuckleUp Fitness Outer Banks is taking its A-Team to compete dominate the Coastal Combat Circuit grappling event in Elizabeth City.

The event, the first Grappling event in Northeastern NC, takes place at the old Elizabeth City Middle School gym and promises to bring the area's big names of MMA and Grappling.

The KnuckleUp team will be coached by Jeremiah Lancaster and General Manager Morrison Butler, who will also be competing.

The entire team has been training really hard, and for some of the fighters, this is their very 1st tournament. Coaches Jeremiah and Chris Stolzman want to invite everybody to come and support our group during the fights.

No-Gi Jiu Jitsu - Submission Wrestling

The competition will be grappling only - no punches or kicks. Fighters start standing up, and win points for dominant position acquisitions, takedowns, and reversals. Matches range from 3 minutes to 6 minutes, depending on the skill class, and of course, the ultimate goal is to catch the opponents in a choke, arm lock, leg lock, or any other submission.

For this event, fighters will wear only shorts and rash guard - no special garments (GI or Kimono), which makes the matches even more similar to wrestling - only the fight doesnt stop when the opponent has its back on the mat.

Because of the tournament, our BJJ classes have been taught without the Gi. We apologize for the inconvenience that may have caused to some of our more traditional members - regular classes start again on Monday at 6pm.

Yeah - because a majority of our BJJ students are competing, as well as both of the coaches, there will be NO SATURDAY MORNING BJJ CLASS. Instead, come support our team, study their matches, and you'll get hands-on teaching!

We'll see you there!
