I must’ve been living under a rock to have never heard of CarJitsu let alone them having a Championship events.
I saw CarJitsu Championship this morning while surfing on my TV on the Stadium Stream Channel.
Here’s what I know about this unusual and unique sport…
Carjitsu is a competitive grappling sport that takes place inside a vehicle. The sport was created by Vik Mikheev, a Russian graduate student at Kansas State University who is a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu and judo. The goal of the sport is to submit your opponent by choking them or forcing them to extend a limb. If the match is too close, points are awarded for dominant positions, such as back control or top position.
Combatants appear to be from varying grappling experiences and backgrounds.
Matches are 3 minutes long and 1 round. The car they grapple in is a Toyota Sienna. Poor car takes a beating as well.
Makes a lot of sense because one never knows when they’ll have to defend themselves inside of a car.
The network seems to be PLN, Pro League Network.
Has anyone been following this sport and if so perhaps can give us more information and details.
