🤼🔥 3 PINS TO WIN. OR A SUBMISSION

Forget everything you know about traditional grappling competitions. We're bringing something different to Midlands Combat League 1 👊

Our unique Submission Wrestling ruleset is designed to encourage fast-paced, exciting matches while developing grappling skills that transfer across MMA, BJJ, wrestling, judo and other combat sports.

🔥 HOW DOES IT WORK?

🥇 3 PINS TO WIN | Control your opponent and accumulate 3 successful pins to take the victory.

🔒 SUBMISSION TO WIN | Catch a submission and the match is yours.

🚫 NO GUARD PULLING | You'll have to earn your way to top position.

🤼 STAY ON TOP. PUSH THE PACE | The rules reward takedowns, pressure, positional control and attacking grappling.

This isn't about playing for points or stalling your way to a decision.

It's about developing a dominant, aggressive grappling style that works across multiple rulesets and rewards athletes who actively pursue the finish.

✅ Open to athletes from BJJ, Wrestling, Judo, MMA and other grappling backgrounds
✅ Kids, Teens, Adults & Masters
✅ Beginner through to Advanced divisions
✅ Minimum 2 matches guaranteed per athlete

Whether you're an experienced grappler looking for a different challenge or a developing athlete building your competition experience, we'd love to see you on the mats!

📅 Saturday 12th December 2026
📍 Coláiste Choilm, Tullamore, Co. Offaly

🎟️ Early Bird registration available until 12th November!

Coaches, bring your teams. Athletes, bring your wrestling! 💪

Real competition. A clear purpose. Helping athletes develop 👊

Midlands Combat League was created to give developing athletes more opportunities to test their skills, gain experience and learn in a controlled, well-organised competition setting.

Our No-Headshots MMA uses light-contact rules, putting the focus on connecting your striking, wrestling and ground skills rather than chasing a knockout.

With matchmaking that takes your background into account and a guaranteed minimum of 2 matches per discipline entered, you’ll have another opportunity to listen to your coach, make adjustments and go again.

Coaches, have someone who’s ready to start putting the pieces together? Give them something to work towards 🙌

You don’t have to be at the same stage of your journey to share the same competition day. 👊

Young teammates taking their next step. Adults putting their training to the test. Masters still chasing new challenges.

Midlands Combat League 1 has divisions for kids from age 8, teens, adults and masters aged 35+, with beginner, intermediate and advanced experience levels.

Choose No-Headshots MMA, Submission Wrestling or both, with a guaranteed minimum of 2 matches in each discipline entered.

Parents, speak with your child’s coach about whether they’re ready to compete and which division suits them.

Coaches, this is an opportunity to get different parts of your club working towards the same date and supporting each other on the day 🙌
