Nick Hartman aims to capture Absolute Grand Prix glory on February 26th. The highly anticipated event at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, California, will serve as the venue for Hartman's no-gi black belt debut against an exceptionally talented absolute bracket. Seven elite no-gi competitors stand as obstacles in Hartman's pursuit of the title and the substantial $50,000 grand prize.

Hartman culminated an extraordinary brown belt campaign in December by securing his second consecutive No-Gi World Championship. The Zenith Jiu-Jitsu standout earned his black belt promotion following a decorated run that included multiple Pans and No-Gi World titles at the brown belt level. Hartman combines a physically imposing build with a frighteningly intricate array of guard systems. Spectators can anticipate both devastating foot lock pressure and seamlessly fluid guard play from the young black belt. Excitement is peaking for the accomplished color belt champion to finally step onto the highest competitive platform in the sport.

Nicklas Hartman is poised for a collision with the world’s best no-gi athletes, competing for global recognition and the five-figure reward. Claiming the Absolute Grand Prix title would undoubtedly make a profound statement as Hartman commences his black belt rookie season.
