RAMM Fighting Series 3 - Octagon Takedown tournament

This tournament was designed to level the playing field between disciplines. By utilizing a unique Takedown Ruleset, we bridge the gap between Judo, Sambo, BJJ, MMA, and Wrestling. It’s a true test of pure standing grappling and control.

The goal is simple: create fair, high-intensity matches where the only way to win is to dominate the takedown. In doing so, we aim to build a platform where athletes can elevate their takedown skills and takedown defense in a competitive yet enjoyable environment.

Our motto is simple: fight hard on the mat and inside the cage, with respect — and create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere outside of it.

 Location: MFG Sportsacademy Stadionbaan 50, 6416 CS Heerlen

There is plenty of parking space close to the venue. 

The schedule will be made when we know how many athletes will participate. we aim to make the event as run smoothly as possible. 

competitors also get an email with all the information the week before the event. 

for this event we have the following divisions: 

men beginners:-70kg, -80kg, -90kg, +90kg (only if 3 or more participants) 

men advanced -70kg, -80kg, -90kg, +90kg and open class 

competing in the open class is only possible if you compete in on of the other divisions. for the open class we will collect the entry fee which will be the prize pot for the winner of the division. 

We believe in progress through competition: based on how many athletes are in the division we will choose the format that gives you as many fights as possible. That means double elimination, round robins or round robins with cross finals. 

A takedown is scored when you bring your opponent to the ground and one of these touches the mat: knee, elbow, hips, shoulder, back, butt. 

When this happens, the referee starts a 3-second control count.

 Only hands and feet on the mat do NOT count.

using the octagon is similar to MMA Rules.
