MAT WARS has emerged as one of the most anticipated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) competitions in the country, bringing together athletes, gyms, coaches, supporters, and martial arts enthusiasts under one roof. Following the success of MAT WARS – I, the upcoming MAT WARS Series II aims to build on that momentum and continue developing a stronger platform for combat sports in Nepal.

As interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and other martial arts continues to rise, events like MAT WARS are creating new opportunities for athletes to compete, gain exposure, and inspire the next generation of fighters.

Beyond the live audience, MAT WARS reached a much wider community through its official live broadcast. The event recorded more than 1,000 online viewers, highlighting the growing popularity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and combat sports in Nepal.

The competition successfully achieved several important goals: promoting athletic excellence, supporting Nepal's combat sports community, providing exposure for athletes and participating gyms, creating quality sports entertainment content, and engaging a growing digital audience.

Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Is Growing Rapidly in Nepal

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the fastest-growing martial arts in the world. Unlike striking-based combat sports, BJJ focuses on grappling, control, positioning, and submission techniques. Over the past few years, Nepal has witnessed significant growth in the BJJ community. New gyms, dedicated athletes, and increasing participation have contributed to the sport's development. Many practitioners are drawn to BJJ because it promotes physical fitness, self-defense skills, mental discipline, problem-solving under pressure, respect and sportsmanship.

Beyond Competition: Building a Community & The Vision

MAT WARS is more than a single-day event — it represents a long-term vision to strengthen Nepal’s combat sports ecosystem. Future plans include expanding beyond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into Kickboxing and MMA, creating even more opportunities for fighters and fans. Verside Productions Pvt. Ltd. powers the event through live coverage, broadcasting, content production, digital promotion, and athlete storytelling. With more than 1 million total impressions and over 500k content views, the movement is just getting started.

MAT WARS Series II promises to deliver another exciting chapter for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and combat sports in Nepal. Whether you are an athlete, coach, gym owner, sponsor, or fan — this is your moment to be part of history.
