— ANNOUNCEMENT TIME —

For the first time, every No-Gi division winner will take home a limited-edition Championship Belt.

Not a standard medal.
Not a ribbon or certificate.
Not just another prize.

A proper championship belt for the athletes who rise to the occasion, win their division & win the title.

No-Gi Judo is fast, technical & all action.
We want the prize to match the energy of the matches.

Early Bird entries are now open.
Get your name on the entry list today.

Then you can focus on sharpening your throws, getting your ground game firing & be set to take one of these bad boys home in November.

Who’s walking out of the Senshi Classic with a belt around their waist? 🏆🔥

Nov 14-15 is closer than you think…
