BRUNSWICK HARLLEY DAVIDSON
Event Information
Our Mission: To provide a bi- monthly Submission Grappling/
Wrestling tournament, leading up to a sanctioned Eastern Regional, to
all athletes interested in competing under USA Wrestling scoring
rules. Our hope is that competitors will go on to the National and
International tournaments. There is currently a National and
International Tournament with hopes of a 2016 Olympic games debut. The
international Tournament was held in Turkey last year with the USA
dominating all classes. We hope that competitors from our tournament go
on to compete in the National and World competitions as well as future
Olympics. A portion of our proceeds will form a sponsorship fund to
help athletes compete in the National Tournament.
