Five sessions with an 8th degree coral belt, across three days, in the Gi and the No-Gi.

Thursday in the Gi he opens with Fix Your Game, and that one is not a technique class at all. You ask, he answers.
Friday morning, No-Gi: Shoulder Trap Options.
Friday evening, back in the Gi: Boss Grip Attack Options.
Saturday morning, Gi: Defense to Offense Strategies.
Saturday he closes the whole weekend in the No-Gi with Review and Hack.

Ten more named instructors teach around them.

That is what a Summit ticket is.

Adult, full weekend: $299.99. Youth, full weekend: $199.99. Ages seven and up, and youth is capped at fifty spots for the weekend.

At four and five years old there are no submissions at all.

Parents ask this first, so here is the plain answer.

White belt, four and five: three minutes, points the whole time, and no submissions at all.
Upper belts at four and five get one minute of submission only, then two minutes of points.
From eight to fifteen the match runs four minutes, two of them submission only.

No child match allows leg attacks below the waist, wrist locks, slams, jumping guard or neck cranks.

That is the Machado Method Invitational, Sunday October 11, in the same building as the Summit and on its own registration.

$80 for the first division until Monday at 7:00 AM.

Here is how Sunday actually runs, before you enter it.

Single elimination. The first part of every match is submission only. Then it goes to points. A tie goes to sudden death overtime.

Points: four for the back, four for mount, three for a pass, two for a sweep, two for a takedown, two for knee on belly. A three count to score.

Adults and juveniles get five minutes. Three of those are submission only.

Gi and No-Gi divisions. One uniform per style is enough, because blue and red anklets are used instead of two gis.

$95 for your first division until Monday at 7:00 AM. $120 after that.

Your Summit ticket does not cover Sunday.

They are two events. The Summit runs Thursday to Saturday, October 8 to 10. The Machado Method Invitational runs Sunday, October 11. Same building, different registration, different payment.

The Invitational is $95 for your first division until Monday September 7 at 7:00 AM. After that it is $120. Registration closes October 6 and nothing is taken after it.

Gi and No-Gi divisions. Ages four through adult. Spectators are $10.

If you are training for three days, Sunday is where you find out what stuck.
