Polaris Professional and Pro Sport Grappling Join Forces to elevate UK Submission Grappling.

Two of the biggest names in UK submission grappling, Polaris Professional and Pro Sport Grappling, are proud to announce a new strategic partnership under the banner Polaris PSG. By combining Polaris’ world-class competition platform with Pro Sport Grappling’s expertise in event production and delivery, the partnership will create the most ambitious and dynamic competition calendar the UK and European grappling scene has seen to date.

This new partnership is designed to create a clear route into the Polaris ecosystem, giving athletes the real possibility of building a career from their first competition as a white belt, right through to headlining a Polaris main event. We have divisions for all ages and skill levels. Your journey starts here!

As well as the standard divisions open to all competitor levels, we will be hosting a Women's Bantamweight -61kg (-135lb) Contenders NoGi division where the winner will compete for the vacant Polaris 135lb belt vacated by Ffion Davies. This title match will be hosted at a future Polaris Professional show.
