How can I fight for Sinbi?

If you are going to represent and fight for Sinbi, we need to see you train hard and give us everything you have on a daily basis. The trainers will monitor your training and will then decide if you are able to fight or not. Typically fights are confirmed a minimum of 2 weeks in advance so unfortunately if you are training with us for a duration shorter than that you will not be able to fight.
