The season 2022 goes into the hot phase! After 2020 and 2021 were virtually "dead pants" due to Corona, Shooto Germany 2022 has started at full throttle and really put some extraordinary events on the legs. At a total of 4 "Rookies" events, athletes from France, Switzerland, Austria and all over Germany fought and completed no less than 150 fights! So goes development work!

But also at "Contenders XXXI" at the end of May, in addition to the amateurs, the semi-pros also had their chance. Under the same rules as at "We love MMA" (2×5 minutes without elbows) the aspiring fighters gained valuable experience in the Octagon. And they all have one thing in common: get fit for the upcoming German Championships and SHOOTO KINGS IX on 10.12.2022 in Herrenberg! There, the grand finale of 2022 will take place on a grand scale in Gym 24.

German Shooto Championships and SHOOTO KINGS

For the first time the German Championships of the amateurs will be fought in two different classes: in the D-class (Rookies) and in the C-class (Contenders). The difference lies in the rules, because in the D-class knee strikes to the head and Heelhooks are prohibited. In addition, in the preliminary round is fought only over 1×3 minutes, in the C-class over 1×4 minutes. There are also small differences in the finals. While in the D-class also in the final (2×2 minutes) also in protective equipment is fought, the finals in the C-class (2×3 minutes) take place without protective equipment.

To get fit in the final spurt to the German Championships and SHOOTO KINGS, we offer all amateurs and professionals the following fighting opportunities in October and November:

SHOOTO "Contenders XXXII" in October

In October, all amateurs of the C-class and the semi-pro fighters can once again compete in Shooto. Especially for the semi-pro fighters it is about a possible ticket for the return of SHOOTO KINGS. The flagship of Shooto Germany has so far impressed with hard-hitting match-ups and internationally great occupied encounters. Some of the German fighters who competed here could recommend themselves for fights at Bellator FC, Brave FC, Quest FC, Shooto Japan and DEEP Jewels in Japan. Whoever delivers a good performance here has arrived in the crosshairs of the matchmakers and can look forward to offers.

If you want to be in the cage at "Contenders XXXII", you can easily register via our platform on Smoothcomp. Participation is of course free of charge for semi-pro fighters.
