———————————————————–
Did you know Submissions were illegal in Pennsylvania?
Unfortunately, we didn’t either, but with the pressure of the
pending approval of Mixed Martial Arts in the State of
Pennsylvania, the Athletic Commission, most likely, doesn’t want to
risk any injuries in any type of event involving submissions and
unfortunately, Submission Grappling (and our event) gets the bad
end of the stick.
Hopefully, once the official legislation of MMA comes through for
PA, Submission Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu events will be
allowed in their State once again, because it would be a shame to
never be able to host a grappling event in PA. The Pennsylvania
State Athletic Commissioner, Greg Sirb is a good guy and he is
working hard to get our Combat Sports approved with his State, so
I’m sure one day, we’ll be back.
I’d like to personally thank members of the New Jersey State
Athletic Commission, Phil Migliarese and the entire Balance Studios
Family, and Olympic Judo Gold Medalist for placing calls on our
behalf to the PA State Athletic Director, Greg Sirb.
We scrambled to find some alternate venues in New Jersey, but in
the height of basketball season, venues are few and far between.
I’m very sad to announce the official cancellation of our November
10th-11th event scheduled in Philadelphia.
Again, I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, obviously, we are as
shocked and upset as anyone, but in the event promotion business,
sometimes things like this happen and must continue to move
forward. We promise to continue to work harder and ensure this
never occurs again and hope everyone will continue to support us
for many years to come.
If you pre-registered and would like a refund OR you can use the
credit towards any future event of your choice PLUS get a FREE
Grapplers Quest DVD and T-Shirt, please email:

See everyone on October 6th at Grapplers Quest in NEW JERSEY!
