:30TD competition information

how does a :30TD competition work?

  • STEP 1: Gather 25–50 elite wrestlers 
  • STEP 2: Place all wrestlers around a wrestling  mat
  • STEP 3: Call out two random names
  • STEP 4: Allow just 30 seconds to get a takedown
  • STEP 5: Pay the only person who doesn't lose a single match

rules of competition

  • NO Punching. NO Kicking. NO Stalling.
  • If neither competitor gets a takedown, they're both eliminated.

Warning: It Happens Fast!

  1. When you hear the word "Go!" explode into your opponent
  2. If you play defense, you're already beat
  3. If you think you're going hard – go 10X harder
  4. Get mat time! Do 100-200 practice matches prior to competition
