The Grapple Challenge - 2026
Description
4 Mats, 6 Hours, and nearly 300 Rounds up for grabs!
A combined 24 hours' worth of grappling rounds makes up our annual Grapple Challenge - a day where we raise funds to run our free weekly MMA Program for Veterans & First Responders on the Sunshine Coast.
Book a 5 minute round against our resident Grapplers, who will on the mats for hours challenging themselves in what they've learnt through our program. If you're up for it - book a bunch of rounds through the day and get amongst the atmosphere.
This is Integrated MMA's 5th year hosting the event, and every year, we see more faces from the martial arts community coming together with the purpose of providing a free space for veterans to train, connect and challenge themselves.
FAQs
- How Many Rounds Can I book?
As many as you like! Some people book out an hour, others prefer to go 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, and repeat.
- Can My Gym Book a Section?
Yes! We have had generous support from local gyms in the past, who send down their adults and kids to roll for an hour, alternating between them. Get you coach or gym owner to book your block.
- Does the Event Go For 24 hours?
This year, our event accumulates multiple mats running simultaneously.
6 Hours per Mat, 4 Mats = 24 Hours.
This is to ensure the event remains accessible to our veterans and members, and keeps their health and wellbeing considered at all times.
- What Do I Bring?
You must bring a mouthguard to grapple! All else is a recommendation. Due to expected heat, we recommend leaving the Gi at home - but that's up to you.
