USEFUL OVER NOISY
Clear, searchable information that helps people make better first decisions.
WHY FIGHT FINDER EXISTS
BUILT FROM
INSIDE THE SPORT.
Fight Finder is being built to make combat sports easier to navigate — one trusted place for fighters, coaches and promoters to find the right people, opportunities and events.
THE IDEA
A BETTER WAY TO
MAKE CONNECTIONS.
Too many opportunities still rely on scattered social posts, private messages and knowing the right person. That can make it difficult for fighters to be seen and equally difficult for promoters to find a suitable, credible match.
Fight Finder brings the useful information together: discipline, ruleset, weight, experience, availability, location and event details. The aim is not to replace coaches or responsible matchmaking. It is to help the right conversations start sooner, with clearer information.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE IDEA
LEE
TRUNKS.
Fight Finder was founded by Lee Trunks, founder and head coach of Combined Defensive Arts in Cheltenham.
Lee has trained in martial arts since childhood and has been instructing since 2008. His background spans Judo, Karate, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, boxing-influenced striking, Jeet Kune Do, Kali and self-protection. He has also competed successfully in Taekwondo and Kickboxing.
Through running a full-time, family-focused academy, Lee has seen the sport from several angles: student, fighter, coach, club owner and event organiser. Fight Finder grows from that practical experience and from a belief that combat sports work best when good people can find one another more easily.

THE FIGHT FINDER STANDARD.
RESPECT EVERY RULESET
Boxing, K-1, MMA, kickboxing, karate, Muay Thai and grappling all belong in the network.
SAFETY STAYS HUMAN
Technology can introduce people. Coaches, promoters and responsible adults must still make the important safety decisions.
BUILD WITH THE COMMUNITY
The platform will improve through real feedback from the people who use it.
