SUJU MMA is not another promotion following the same blueprint.
It’s a new combat sport concept built from the ground up, combining elements of sumo, judo, sambo, and wrestling, centered on balance, control, and real-time strategy. SUJU was created to honor these traditional disciplines while providing a foundation for entirely new techniques to evolve.
We’re actively seeking fighters, martial artists, and combat-sport specialists who want to be part of something from the beginning; not just compete in it, but help define it.
If you’re looking to test out an exciting new way to fight, this is your invitation.
We are recruiting athletes from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to:

SUJU MMA introduces a fight environment that fundamentally changes how combat unfolds:
No cage. No ropes.
A circular, slopped platform with a defined center-control objective.
Two official competition environments:
Dirt mound platform (raw & primal)
The Mound™: Professional padded mat platform (technical, repeatable, broadcast-ready)
Center control matters
Ring-outs matter
Strikes activate after initial center ring-out, leaving the chance of a win by knockout always a possibility.
SUJU MMA is being developed intentionally and collaboratively.
We are actively seeking:
Coaches
Referees
Former fighters
Martial arts instructors
Sports scientists
Safety and rules consultants
To help with:
Live ruleset testing
Platform testing (dirt vs mat)
Safety evaluations
Scoring logic
Timing and restart mechanics
Strike activation rules
Ring-out scenarios and edge cases
Your expertise won’t be ignored, it will directly influence how the sport evolves.
*We are currently in the development phase and seeking martial artists to help us test the rules and build a proof of concept. Help us shape this sport from day one.
