I haven't made this post to brag or anything. The farthest thing from it. I just want to make people aware of how often I compete, and how much exposure it would be for their brand. That's a lot of podium pictures that your patch / logo / brand could be on. It's also a lot of match time that my gi is in(which is currently not very patched up).

I want to compete in most of the following tournaments to round out the year:

  • Grapplers Quest North American Championships Toronto December 1st


I am planning on winning a trip to Abu Dhabi and a trip to Worlds at these tournaments. That means extra exposure for your brand on a much larger scale and market to! Here's what I need:
  1. Travel Expenses covered - flights, hotel, gas, that kind of thing
  2. A supplement sponsor - protein shakes and whatnot so I can keep training hard.
I don't REALLY need more gear. I have 7 or 8 gis and a pile of rash guards. That being said, If as part of your sponsorship you need me to wear your gear, I'm sure we could figure something out.

Look: I know I'm just a lowly blue belt, and most blue belts don't have sponsors. But most people don't compete like I do (a few of my team mates do, they could use sponsors to). The higher level belts don't get as many opportunities to compete so I feel like It's a good opportunity for you!
