Takedown Only Brackets

---

Brave's takedown-only brackets are a unique and exciting format designed to help athletes sharpen their stand-up game.

In these brackets, the match starts standing and remains standing throughout. No guard pulling, no submissions, no groundwork. The focus is 100% on takedown skills in Wrestling, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu.

Athletes score points by executing clean, controlled takedowns. Once a takedown is completed and control is established for a brief moment, the referee stops the action, resets both athletes to standing, and the match continues.

• Explosiveness and takedown timing.
• Balance and control.
• Real competition experience in takedown exchanges.
• Confidence in the standing phase.

It’s a fast-paced, technical, and fun way to compete! The takedown only bracket is ideal for athletes who want to test and improve their takedown abilities in a safe, controlled environment.
