World champion Angel Sanchez who introduced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Maldives is hosting a Beach Fighting Championship with the help of AZ BJJ Academy and is now open for registration to the public.
This 1-day tournament is set to be held on 10th December 2021, at the beach near Redbull skate park.
There are certain rules and regulations that participants need to follow. The two fighters that enter the ring must try to wrestle and overpower the other person to the ground. No locks or special techniques can be used to bring your opponent down. These rules are the standup regulations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Leniency in the regulations has been shown to encourage more people to participate. Each match starts at the center of the ring and lasts 3 minutes. If a person can bring down his opponent, it is known as “Off bound”. Points are given according to the rate and effectiveness of how the person attacks the opponent.
