About Matador
Uniting the Global Combat Sports Community
From Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to MMA, Boxing to Wrestling-Matador is the platform where athletes, gyms, practitioners, and sponsors come together to grow, train, and compete.
Our Mission
Combat sports have the power to transform lives. The discipline, respect, and camaraderie built on the mats extend far beyond the gym. Yet, for too long, the community has been fragmented-athletes struggle to find seminar opportunities, practitioners miss out on training with legends, and gyms lack visibility.
Matador changes that. We're building the central hub where every corner of combat sports connects. Whether you're a world champion looking to host seminars, a hobbyist seeking private lessons with elite athletes, a gym owner wanting to list your venue, or a sponsor looking to discover talent-Matador brings everyone together.
Our vision is simple: make world-class martial arts training accessible to everyone, everywhere.
