The Open Trials is an M.M.A. Mixed Martial Arts
competition, allowing punches, kicks, knees, throws, takedowns
and submissions, but under Amateur criteria ( no head strikes allowed
at all ) . Each competitor is guaranteed a minimum of two fights on
the day.
These events, now in their ninth year, offer the perfect opportunity
to gain invaluable experience in Mixed Martial Arts competition and
are open to ALL competitors from all martial arts backgrounds.
The Combat Sports Open Trials is where M.M.A. champions of tomorrow
are born. Zelg Galesic, Paul Jenkins, Sol Gilbert, Paul "Semtex"
Daley, Alex Owen, Tom "Kong" Watson and Dave Lee are just
a few of today"s hottest stars who have worked their way through
the Combat Sports Open Trials ranks.
Weight categories for the Amateur M.M.A. events are as follows:
-70.5kg : Lightweight
-77kg: Welterweight
-84kg : Middleweight

The Open Trials is a tough but fun day out. Attitudes are left at the
door as the competitors meet to test their skills in a friendly and
like-minded environment.
Open Trials competitors will usually fight twice during the afternoon.
After the event, competitors are awarded points for their performance
(3 points for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss) and then given an official
ranking in the Combat Sports Open Trials 2009 league table.
