BRIDGE THE FIGHT MASTERS TOURNAMENT
BRIDGE THE FIGHT MASTERS TOURNAMENT
Sponsored by Masterskaya NYC
Bridge The Fight presents
Super Fight Night at Masterskaya NYC
— a nonprofit event supporting Pro talent and built for practitioners who want to compete but don't have the time for full tournament schedules.
What is it?
A Saturday night in Chinatown with
Four elite super fights
and
Four Master practitioners fights at Masterskaya NYC
It's competition with purpose: a reason to train harder, a chance to test yourself locally, and a way to give back to the teachers who make us all better. Super fight champions are paid to share their knowledge the following Sunday, closing the loop between community support and high-level instruction.
