January 6th, 2014: Battle Arena – one of the UK’s leading amateur mixed martial arts promotions, is proud to introduce the second installment of Battle Ground, a developmental submission grappling event based in a friendly, relaxed environment for both Gi and No Gi competitors.
Stepping directly into the cage isn’t for everyone, and Battle Ground provides a competitive structure that in time can lead fighters to taking the next step – competing in Battle Ground’s big brother event Battle Arena. Not only for absolute beginners, Battle Ground also provides an option for more experienced grapplers or fighters. Battle Ground hosts a variety of categories ranging from beginners, to intermediate and advance, across five weight divisions.
Battle Arena CEO James Price said:
“By adding Battle Ground to our portfolio of events we hope to encourage more people to get involved with amateur MMA and grappling. It’s a great sport with a big future where people from all walks of life compete against each other in a warm and friendly environment. Unlike MMA events, Battle Ground is a more low key and relaxed event run in sports halls on mats instead of in a ring or cage. It’s very team and family focused and we can now also offer the events to juniors competitors. The first event back in Decmber 2013 went really well and we expect the event to grow during 2014. We are running 9 competitions this year“
Battle Ground takes place on March 15th at the Lodge Park Sports Centre in Corby. To sign up and for more information please visit our Facebook page or contact info@mmabattlearena.co.uk or on 07932 633 366
