The sport combines different martial arts in an unexpected setting, and fighters are allowed to use anything in the car to their advantage, including seat belts to choke out opponents.

Keep Scrolling to watch the match.
The match in the video at the bottom of this article features Oklahoma wrestler Zac Moore defending his title for the first time against Jonathon Chambers. Something we noticed about the matches is watching on the job might be a little tricky. The matches sound... not safe for work. There is A LOT of grunting and heavy breathing.
How Long Has This Been a Thing?
The sport was originated by a Russian grad student at Kansas State University named Vik Mikheev, in the United States to earn his Ph. D. in mathematics. A black belt in judo and Brazilian jiujitsu, he first came up with the idea of competitive grappling inside a vehicle in 2020.
