OPEN GUARD

Build Your Academy

Start a gym from scratch or take over an existing academy. Sign fighters from a worldwide free agent pool, develop their game on the mats, and compete in tournaments from local opens all the way to world championships. Every decision is yours.

A Living World

Every save generates a unique world. 80 gyms across multiple countries, each with their own roster, reputation, and trajectory. Over 1,500 fighters compete across men's and women's divisions. Gyms rise and fall. Fighters age, develop rivalries, pick up injuries, and retire. The fighter who wins gold at worlds in one save might never exist in the next.

A Deep Match Engine

Fights resolve through a tick-based simulation with 41 grappling positions, 34 submissions, and over 130 unique transitions. Watch every moment unfold with live commentary and positional illustrations, or skip straight to the result. Set tactical instructions before each bout. Your choices shape how the fight plays out without removing the unpredictability.

Gi and No-Gi

The full tournament calendar runs both gi and no-gi events with proper rulesets. Gi-only positions and submissions are locked out of no-gi matches. Belt legality for leg locks differs between formats. Over 400 events per year across six tiers from local opens to invitation-only pro championships.

Develop Your Fighters

Each fighter has 15 attributes, a unique fighting style, a personality, a signature submission, and a career driven entirely by your coaching decisions. Train them with customisable focus allocation. Hire coaches to accelerate development. Open a youth academy and develop the next generation from age 7 through to graduation at 16.

Manage Everything

Finances, facilities, coaches, contracts, injuries, satellite training camps, in-house training matches, scouting, and a world map spanning 20 countries. Go broke and face the consequences. Build a dynasty and enter the Hall of Fame.
