Photos: Fighters find out if they're up to the Combat Challenge

The event was held in memory of Travis "The Gladiator" Galbraith

The Northern BC Combat Challenge, held at PGSS Saturday, May 17, brought several combat sports disciplines together, including jiu jitsu and wrestling, with youth and adult competitors. 

The day was held in the memory of MMA fighter Travis "The Gladiator" Galbraith, who died last year in a rafting incident on the WIllow River. 

Combatants were drawn from different martial arts schools, and used different forms of grappling-based martial arts to compete. 

While MMA also includes striking — hits with hands and feet — that was not part of this tournament.
