Sam, Jack, and Charles Are On Polaris

In case you missed it, I’ve got some big news from our competition team… In a little under two weeks, Jack, Sam, and Charles will compete on Polaris 28!

Sam Quinn from Escapology BJJ in Cambridge on Polaris 28
Jack Sear from Escapology BJJ in Cambridge on Polaris 28
Charles from Escapology BJJ in Cambridge on Polaris 28

Polaris is not just any competition. It’s the biggest professional grappling show in the Europe and only the cream of the crop of BJJ players get invited.

The show takes place in Doncaster on June 15th. The energy at these events is electric, but nothing beats having our team cheering on. It’s an incredible feeling to have the crowd behind you, and it can give you that extra push in a challenging match.

So, here’s the plan…

Check if you’re free on June 15th. Grab a ticket from Jack (he’s organising all the tickets). Let’s pack the venue and cheer for the guys!

They’ve been training hard to make us all proud. Let’s show them we’ve got their backs both in the gym and on the Polaris mats.

If you can’t make it live, the prelims are streamed on YouTube and main card is available on UFC Fight Pass
