FRIENDLY EXHIBITION

EXPERIENCE OVER RECORD.
COMMUNITY OVER CONFLICT.

A "Smoker" is a long-standing combat sports tradition. It is a strictly controlled, non-sanctioned sparring event where safety, learning, and mutual respect come first. We are opening our doors to partner gyms nearby to create a highly supportive environment where fighters can conquer stage fright, experience a corner team's guidance, and receive recognition for their hard work. There are no champions crowned here—just dedicated martial artists proving their training pays off. Most importantly...food and friends to end the Summer!

SUPPORTERS & COMMUNITY

FRIENDS, FAMILY, & FAN BASE

This event is built on spectator support. 
We welcome all friends, family, and martial arts enthusiasts to come down,
pack the house, and show your support for our regional competitors.

Food & FUN

The event will have a food truck or catering on site for a limited amount of hours to serve you! Be sure to support because they will be local to the area!

amateur fights

The purpose of this event is to have a good time! Will it hurt? Possibly, but what else are you signing up for?! All fighters will have zero experience. Referees will keep the fight safe and fair, and there will be medics available.

the Community

All participating gyms will  not only have fighters, but also will be volunteering to be judges, referees, and time keepers.
