What members say
“It's a great deal for a high quality event and I was happy to recommend the event to my pals, AND they did a great job streaming for non-local friends and family to watch!”
From the reviews
This was my second time competing for Grappling & Fighting Championships and it each time has gone beyond expectations! GFC put on a professional and exciting event and made sure that fighters and coaches had all the necessary, clear directions leading up to and day of the fights.
Fighting at GFC was a great experience! Everything was organized from the get-go and the event went off without a hitch. From an audience perspective, where else can you watch 13 fights for $50?!
I have cornered and fought in GFC events and had great experience both times. The event location in State College is perfect for local fighters and almost anyone in PA. The event itself is set up well and you can have a good view of the action from anywhere in the room.
Your first BJJ class at GFC (Grappling & Fighting Championships)
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
