Board

The United States Fight League is a IRS 501 c 3 non profit regulatory and sanctioning organization that fosters and supports Youth and Military Pankration

Pankration is the oldest Martial art on record and was the most prestigious event of the Ancient Olympics. The rules were brutal and simple, all but eye gouging and biting was allowed while the referees enforced their rules with a large stick.

Donate to the USFL 
All funds donated are tax deductible and managed by the parental advisory committee, 100% of donated funds are for support of youth athletes & teams.  

Modern Pankration is a milder version of Mixed Martial Arts that encompasses Grappling and Limited Contact Striking. Rules emphasize technique and sportsmanship making this a safe sport, suitable for competitors of all ages from all styles of Martial Art.

The primary emphasis of the USFL is to develop strong youth character from rigorous competition.

Rules are progressive and consistent for each level of combat:

"C"

Class rules consist of straight Grappling.

"B"

Class rules allow Grappling combined with Limited contact strikes.

"A"

Class rules allow full Contact strikes (Not approved for competition in the U.S.)

Our athletes have an opportunity to compete at the Local, State, National and World Level.

HOWEVER  - All provisional license athletes must check-In with:

  • Government document proving age.
  • Annual sports physical or letter from physician
  • Parent/ guardian must be present to sign waiver & receive safety education materials.
  • Athletes with a provisional one day license may not have results listed on official fight record.  
  • YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO COMPETE OR RECEIVE A REFUND WITHOUT THESE DOCUMENTS IF COMPETING UNDER A PROVISIONAL LICENSE.
