Hello friends,
We are ISFA, and we couldn’t be more excited to announce the upcoming ISFASubmission Challenge 2023, set to take place on December 16th! As the most regular organizer of grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) events in Bulgaria, we are thrilled to bring you a tournament that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.
At ISFA, our mission is to promote and advance the world of combat sports, and the Sofia Open is a testament to that dedication. This event is a fusion of grappling no-gi, BJJ, MMA, and shootboxing, offering a dynamic and thrilling experience for both participants and spectators alike.
One of the core values that drives us at ISFA is inclusivity. We firmly believe that combat sports should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their skill level or background. That’s why the Sofia Open welcomes fighters from all walks of life, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere where friendships are forged and skills are honed.
What sets the Sofia Open apart from other tournaments is the unique opportunity it provides for competitors to gain experience in multiple disciplines. Unlike some organizers who restrict participants to fighting in only one division, we understand the importance of versatility and growth. That’s why we encourage fighters to embrace the chance to showcase their talents across various disciplines, allowing them to expand their skill sets and truly test their mettle.
Rest assured, our team at ISFA has worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail of this event is meticulously planned. From the state-of-the-art venue to the seamless organization, we strive to provide the best possible experience for our fighters and fans.
So mark your calendars for July 1st and join us at the ISFA Submission Challenge 2023. Together, let’s celebrate the spirit of competition, the joy of combat sports, and the unity that comes from embracing our shared passion. We can’t wait to see you there!
Warm regards, The ISFA Team
