Event Description
Two of the most influential training forces in the exhibition drill world are joining up for some friendly head‑to‑head competition to finish out the year. This is a community invitational built around skill, style and the perseverance to train in the cold months. If there’s a will, there’s a way and we’re asking dojo students everywhere to flex their skills in whatever space they have to drill with during these winter drill months. No uniforms, no set floor size, just throw down!
- Submit a 1:15–1:45 single‑shot video of whatever you’ve got cookin’ right now.
- We're using The Exhibition Essentials Judging system with Adam Jeup and Andres Ryan as your judges. No Uniform, No Drill Area Size Limitations. 7.5 lbs.
- Awards given to Top 3 representatives from each Dojo, and special awards given to the Overall Champion and highest Style score as well!
...and while there’s no literal “team vs team” battle, everyone in the drill community belongs to a dojo. Some rep one, some rep both, and some are dojo‑less wandering ronin waiting to be claimed...
Two Dojos. One Community. Infinite Styles. Let’s sharpen that blade. (Not literally, but let’s level up together.)
