SportMMA 2007 Open Championships, September 15

A new tournament, the SportMMA 2007 Open Championships is being held here in Ottawa at Congress Center on September 15. This should be interesting to our continuous competitors (Jordan and Simon) and the members of the kickboxing class. There are divisions for:

• Grappling
• No-Gi Grappling
• Sparring (continuous point fighting)
• Sport MMA

"The SportMMA Championships is a martial arts tournament with a unique MMA theme. Open to all martial athletes regardless of style, affiliation, or experience, each division represents one facet of modern MMA; stand up fighting in the form of Continuous Point Fighting, grappling (Gi and No-Gi), and of course a combination of the two with the exciting Sport MMA division. Whatever your style, you can find one or more event to excel at."

Good news - there are multiple weight and skill divisions (novice, beginner, intermediate, advanced) for adults and juniors. Bad news - no age divisions for adults.
