Sakuraba announced an interesting tournament a while back. The promotion’s meant to put an emphasis on team spirit, something you don’t see all that often in bjj.

With a group weight limit of around 420kg it’s an interesting concept. Rules are:

– No-Gi Matches, rash guard is required

– 10 minute sub-only

– If weight difference between challengers is over 15 kg, the match will be 5 minutes only

– No heel hooks allowed (boo)

– Limited time allowed in closed guard

– Each team has 5 members

– The total weight of the team will not exceed 420 kilograms

And the teams have been finalized – Round one will be pitting BJJ and Sambo & Judo against Catch Wrestling Team.
