UK Bar Battles
UK Bar Battles is dedicated to expanding the credibility and level of calisthenics in the UK. It is a new freestyle competition aimed to
support athlete development and bring more opportunities to the UK. Calisthenics is a rapidly expanding sport in the UK and is already acknowledged globally.
The best part about calisthenics is the community, it includes people from all walks of life and has changed the lives of many that would have taken the wrong path had they not found it. Currently calisthenics in the UK is not a sustainable path to take as an athlete due to the funding available. Our event aims to change this. We have already provided the opportunity for our winners to compete in a huge competition in Barcelona (Barmania Battles).
Now we would like to bring in the money to support this vision. Which is why we are requesting your support. Our events attract hundreds of people but we are not currently able to facilitate these people due to our funding. Once you support us we are very keen to promote our sponsors and continue to promote throughout the year via Instagram, our advertisements and word of mouth.
Target Audience
The best part about our event is that there is no specific demographic. We had both beginner and advance categories meaning people new to the sport could get involved. We had athletes from 3 months of training to 10 years of training get involved. Ages also ranged from 15 – 42. Additionally we had athletes from all over the UK (including Exeter, Manchester, Liverpool, London) and also athletes from France and Netherlands.
Key Dates and Timings
Our previous event took place on 5th April 2025. We are looking for our community event to take place at the beginning of October and then our next competition to take place at the end of March 2026. So we would require funding for at least the next competition. We will confirm dates by the end of this year.
Specific Opportunity Details
The UK Bar Battles is currently a yearly competition. However, we are planning to host community sessions throughout the year to bring attention and to further support the community.
Our event currently takes place at “tricknastics academy” in Erith. We are hoping with funding to move our main event into a bigger venue to facilitate the volume of people wanting to attend. However, we would keep the community sessions at Tricknastics to continue supporting this smaller business within our community.
Our fan base has become international. We had multiple international athletes at our first edition. We also have support from Barmania Battles in Barcelona. As well as the support of organisations like the UK Calisthenics organisation.
This is an amazing opportunity for our partners, as previously mentioned, calisthenics is still a growing sport, meaning there are opportunities for companies to grow with the sport. Companies that partner with us will receive as much as we are able to give. We will promote as much as possible to ensure your company grows with us.
Features and Benefits
We give as many opportunities as you would like to take. We offer advertising, branding on our products (such as athlete passes), we can offer free tickets to the events and also the opportunity to sell products within our venue.
Other Partners
Our previous sponsors have been purely product based so far but we have been working with Ramass fitness, Oxcalisthenics, Gymdough, VXSgymwear and Roar Powers.
Investment
We would be looking for a cash investment of at least £1000. We would like anywhere withing the range of £1000-£5000 to ensure the next event is an even bigger success!
