Today the National Gauntlet Federation recruiting tour took me to Ground Control BJJ & MMA in Winston-Salem, North Carolina! 🥋🔥

I came out to meet local grapplers, introduce them to the NGF, and continue recruiting athletes for our upcoming American Gauntlet scrimmage.

The goal is to build something completely new in grappling:

⚔️ Team-Based Competition
🥋 1v1 Grappling with Live Substitutions
🔒 Submissions Score
🏆 Teams Battle to Win the Gauntlet

Every gym visit gets us one step closer to putting the first generation of NGF athletes on the field.

Huge thanks to Ground Control BJJ & MMA for letting me come out and connect with the grappling community.

We’re building the NGF from the ground up — one gym, one athlete, and one event at a time.

This is only the beginning.

Had an awesome time at The Sweat Lab MMA & Fitness Gibsonville. Here is a little behind the scenes of our recruitment trip!!

08/08/2026

The National Gauntlet Federation (NGF) is officially recruiting.

We visited The Sweat Lab MMA & Fitness in Gibsonville, North Carolina to meet local grapplers, introduce them to the NGF, and start building the roster for our upcoming Gauntlet scrimmage.

NGF is building a new team-based grappling sport designed around action, strategy, substitutions, and submissions.

🥋 1v1 grappling inside the Gauntlet
👥 Team-based competition
🔄 Live substitutions
🏆 Submissions score points
⚔️ Submission challenges create high-stakes scoring opportunities
⏱️ Two 45-minute halves
🔥 Most points wins

This recruiting trip was one of the first steps toward putting real athletes into the Gauntlet and bringing the concept to life.

We’re starting in North Carolina and building from the ground up.

If you're a grappler interested in competing, a gym interested in working with NGF, or a business interested in sponsoring the project, follow the journey and get involved.

Subscribe to follow the development of the National Gauntlet Federation as we recruit athletes, run our first scrimmages, release the official rules, and build toward our first full NGF events.
