Grappling Tournament Sponsors
Thank you to the companies which are sponsoring our grappling tournament on September 29th!



Grappling Tournament Sponsorship Opportunities
Grappling Tournament Sponsorships
Many grappling tournaments are based on points which leads to boring matches and people winning by stalling. We have removed the possibility of that by removing the point structure and allowing you to win only by submitting your opponent. This style tournament is the most exciting to watch as well as to compete in.
Define Defense has a significant presence online through our website (over 1,00 views/month) and social media pages (reach of over 9,000 people/week) and will also invite all other studios and training facilities in the Denver and Boulder Metro areas. Our marketing efforts also include spreading posters and flyers in the area hotspots. A professional photographer will be present to capture the tournament’s highlights and share these with the local media.
We are pleased to offer you different levels of sponsorship, please see the options underneath.
You and any other representative of your company would be most welcome to attend so that we could thank you personally for your support.
We are looking forward to hearing from you. In case you have any queries you can contact us at the number underneath. Thank you for your time and considering sponsoring our event.
