Professional Grappling to Make Island Debut

The Isle of Man will make history with the first-ever JECERIS Invitational, a professional grappling event debuting on the island.

Taking its name from the Manx national motto Quocunque Jeceris Stabit — “Whichever way you throw me, I will stand” — the Jeceris Invitational embodies the resilience and spirit at the heart of both Manx culture and the sport of grappling.

The event will take place at The Roundhouse in Braddan, with doors opening at 3pm on December 6.

The show will feature local and international athletes competing in both Gi and No-Gi submission grappling, including ADCC and CJI veterans as well as multiple IBJJF champions.

Working alongside a range of local businesses, JECERIS Invitational aims to deliver an incredible, ground-breaking event that highlights the island’s community spirit and showcases the potential of professional grappling on Manx soil.

A full Pay-Per-View Live Stream will be broadcast via Fightworld.tv, with the full replay available for 72 hours after the broadcast.

Tickets and pay-per-view options are now available.
