Pre-registration for the North American Grappling Championship in New Jersey is now closed. You can still register on Friday from 5-8PM, Saturday beginning at 8AM, and Sunday beginning at 8AM.

WEIGH-IN ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY/SUNDAY
 NAGA will be offering all competitors the option of registering and weighing in the night BEFORE the tournament (from 5-8PM).  If you cannot make it on Friday, ADULT competitors can register/weigh-in all day on Saturday, KIDS & TEENS on Sunday.  

 

100 CHAMPIONSHIP BELTS AWARDED
NAGA is the only grappling tournament in the world to award 100 CHAMPIONSHIP BELTS to its Children, Teen, Adult, Masters, Directors and Executive Expert Division Winners.  All other 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners take home custom medals.

 

ADULT GI & NO-GI SATURDAY; KIDS/TEENS SUNDAY
 Due to the large amount of competitors this tournament will attract, we have again made this a two day tournament.  All adults (both gi and no-gi) will compete on Saturday, all children and teens (gi & no-gi) will compete on Sunday.

GREAT VENUE
We have acquired one of the best venues in the Northeast, the Essex County College Gymnasium.  The venue is awesome, with seating for over 5,000.  The gym is located in Newark, NJ, just southwest of New York City. Mass transit can easily take competitors from NYC to the venue without having to step in or out of a car.  For those driving, we have acquired a FREE 1000 + parking lot directly across the street.  This is a new facility with huge bathrooms and changing areas.

 

SANDBAGGERS BEWARE
NAGA works diligently to prevent "sandbagging", or the practice of fighting down skill levels to ensure one takes home an award.  Front door personnel will use RANKED data to determine whether or not individuals who have fought in past events belong in a higher skill level (i.e. placed 1st at a prior NAGA event).


RANKED EVENT                                                      
All NAGA events are part of the nationwide ranking system entitled RANKED. Our goal is to determine who the bestgrapplers in the country are for various age, gender, and skill levels.  This tournament will be nationally ranked so donot miss your opportunity to gain points towards a true national title.  Visit nationallyranked.com for more details.
