Polaris PSG – London
Gi & NoGi BJJ Championships & Polaris Contenders

IT’S NOT JUST FOR THE PRO’S! This event has divisions for all ages and all skill levels. Whether this is your first time competing or your 100th time, we aim to give you the best experience possible.

Polaris Professional and Pro Sport Grappling Join Forces to Elevate UK Submission Grappling.

Two of the biggest names in UK submission grappling, Polaris Professional and Pro Sport Grappling, are proud to announce a new strategic partnership under the banner Polaris PSG. By combining Polaris’ world-class competition platform with Pro Sport Grappling’s expertise in event production and delivery, the partnership will create the most ambitious and dynamic competition calendar the UK and European grappling scene has seen to date.  The first event will be in London.

This new partnership is designed to create a clear route into the Polaris ecosystem, giving athletes the real possibility of building a career from their first competition as a white belt, right through to headlining a Polaris main event. We have divisions for all ages and skill levels. Your journey starts here!

As well as the standard divisions open to all competitor levels, we will also be hosting Lightweight -70.3Kg (-155lb) and Welterweight -77.1Kg (-170lb) Contenders NoGi divisions.

The winner of Lightweight Contenders will get the opportunity to face the Polaris Lightweight Champion for a shot at the belt on a future show. The winner of the Welterweight Contenders will have a place in our Welterweight GP later in the year, for a guaranteed show purse and a shot at tens of thousands of pounds for the GP winner.

These are unique opportunities only available at the inaugural Polaris PSG event. Participants must be ranked at purple belt or above, and consent to being filmed.
