The first ever mixed martial arts (MMA) youth tournament in Tartu was held on Saturday at the Englas sports hall. The event, the first of its kind in the city, featured 40 young people aged 9-18 from four of Estonia’s largest MMA clubs. MMA department head and coach Ott Tõnissaar stated that the new training hall, equipped with a full-size MMA competition cage, allows for the return of MMA competitions in Tartu. The sports club initiated the tournament due to the high number of children and young people utilizing the facility, with plans for it to become an annual tradition. 14-year-old Taisto Teivil Kängsepp (U16, -62 kg) achieved the best performance, winning his first fight by technical knockout and his second by submission. Coach Tõnissaar noted Kängsepa’s strong performance following his bronze medal victory at the World Championships in the summer of 2022, attributing the success to the club’s initiative. The next MMA (Free Fight) event in Tartu will be the Estonian championships, scheduled for May 20 and 21 at the Englas sports hall.
