| THE FIGHT SCHOLARSHIP - RELEASED BY OGA |
Ontario Grappling Association is delighted to introduce it's highly anticipated "The Fight Scholarship" which includes Pankration, Amateur MMA, Grappling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Scholarships.
We've been awaiting the launch of this program for over a year and are pleased to initiate our Scholarship program just in time for the Canadian National Combat Championships 2014 to be held on August 16th in Brampton, Ontario.
The Fight Scholarship is designed to inspire competitors to be the best they can be. To encourage what should be uninhibited motivation, OGA, through this initiative, is eliminating the pressure of training costs and allowing high performance competitors to unlock their potential.
Introduction of The Fight Scholarship would not be possible without the support of several new partners that have committed to specific financial donations in order to sustain the program. It was imperative that the long-awaited program was fully funded prior to its initiation. A few noteworthy commitments to action in this project include financial assistance by our long standing Martial Arts supporters, Street Soldier, Canadian Combat Alliance, Pecker'd Promotions, and other corporate sponsors to help students pay for martial arts training and provide them with the necessary training equipment.
The Fight Scholarship also reaches out to local Training Centres and Gym Owners involved, and assists them in increasing their student participation. Furthermore, OGA has begun to provide additional resources and services for Clubs that have joined as member partners in an effort to help them reach their business goals.
Here's how it works... Ontario Grappling Association will now offer competitors an opportunity to earn The Fight Scholarship at OGA sanctioned events. Any member who is successful in earning a scholarship will have it directly applied to his or her training costs at the studio he or she represents.
OGA's Board members are eager to unfold the possibilities of this new program. We have faith in the potential of our athletes and are excited to be a part of the next generation of martial arts. For more information on the The Fight Scholarship please email us at admin@grapplingontario.com.

| TRACK YOUR PERFORMANCE - THE EASY WAY! |
OGA recently published its Online Ranking System that allows its members to track their performance across a series of events and individually at each event.
All competitors receive points for their placement in an event sanctioned by OGA. These points are used to determine the winner(s) of the Fight Scholarship either at the event being held or at the end of the season, or both!
Rankings are tracked separately for each sport OGA sanctions. For example, BJJ will receive its own category of ranking athletes, NoGi Grappling will receives its own set of rankings, and the same applies to Amateur MMA, and Pankration.
An athlete can compete in multiple divisions and multiple styles in any given Tournament offering these options. A competitor will receive points for each division he or she places in.
In order to track Fight Scholarship points, create your complementary online account as the first step to enrolling in these programs at http://www.splitdraw.com/ogamembership/createmyprofile.asp. Up-to-date Competitor & Team Rankings as well as Fight Videos, and Tournaments Results are available through your OGA Online Account. Paid, full year OGA Members will also receive the OGA Fight Card. This card offers up to 305% discount on Apparel, Equipment, and more with our Membership Vendor Partners.

UFC® today announced a partnership with the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) in a move to champion the growth of safe, clean mixed martial arts (MMA) at the amateur level. UFC® will work closely with the IMMAF and provide vital financial and administrative backing, while also leveraging the vast global platform the UFC has built for communication and education initiatives.
Formed in 2012, the IMMAF has undertaken a number of important initiatives including athlete safety, regulatory work and grass roots development of the sport as well as being the global governing body of amateur MMA with 40 national federation members.
Lou Lauria, UFC Vice President for Federation Relationships and Corporate Social Responsibility said: “UFC® believes in the ability of amateur sport to affect positive change in society and is committed to contributing to those efforts globally. If you are an amateur MMA athlete, you should become engaged with the IMMAF on the national and community level and contribute to the positive developments being made in the sport.”
IMMAF Chief Executive Officer Densign White also believes the partnership will help elevate amateur MMA at all levels of the sport, saying: “IMMAF’s renewed and strengthened partnership with UFC is game-changing for MMA as a whole. Not only do we have the continued support of a key originator of contemporary mixed martial arts, but also of the world’s biggest player in the sport; based on its confidence that IMMAF can and is making a difference.
