NAGA VEGAS GRAPPLING CHAMPIONSHIP
On Saturday, March 6, 2010 NAGA returns to Las Vegas, Nevada for its annual Vegas Grappling Championship. This tournament is open to all grappling styles and competitors. You do not need to be on a team or be a member of any organization to compete. You do not have to live in Nevada to compete. This event is nationally RANKED!

PRE-REGISTER ONLINE HERE or download the registration form, print it out and mail it in to the address on the form along with your check.

SAMURAI SWORDS TO CHILDREN & TEEN WINNERS
NAGA will be awarding custom engraved SAMURAI SWORDS to all Children & Teen 1st place winners! Octagon medals will be awarded to all Adult divisions winners. All Adult, Kids & Teens 2nd & 3rd place winners take home octagon medals. Many adult competitors have asked to replace swords with gold medals; adults who place 1st will have the option to obtain samurai swords at the NAGA T-shirt Booth (for a nominal fee).

6 SPECTACULAR CHAMPIONSHIP CUP TEAM AWARDS
All six of our top teams (Adult Gi, No-Gi & Children 17 yrs. & under) will receive a custom made CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM CUP. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase the talent that your academy possesses..

DOUBLE THE TEEN DIVISIONS – NEW AGE GROUPS
With the huge number of teenagers competing at NAGA events we have decided to double the number of teen divisions. We will now have separate age group divisions for teens 14 & 15 year olds, and 16 & 17 year olds. We will be using the same weight classes as in the past. Children 13 years and under will also be broken down by weight and age.

NEW ADULT ABSOLUTE NO-GI DIVISIONS
Many NAGA No-gi competitors have asked us to allow them to compete in multiple skill levels in order to get more opportunities to roll the day of the competition. In order to facilitate their request we have added Novice, Beginner and Intermediate Absolute No-Gi Divisions. These No-Gi Divisions will begin once all the regular No-Gi divisions have ended so no-gi grapplers will not miss their second chance to compete. 1st through 3rd place winners take home octagon medals.

CHAMPIONSHIP BELT
The winner of our Advanced Absolute No-Gi Division will take home a NAGA Championship Belt; this is an open weight class division for advanced competitors only. The winners of the Novice, Beginner & Intermediate Absolute Divisions will take home octagon medals.

FREE OPEN MAT WITH NAGA REFEREES
Here is your chance to roll with NAGA Referees and NAGA Staff members. Our staff will be happy to share techniques with you, help you get a good sweat in or to just have some fun. Our referees are experienced competitors, come learn from them and help improve your game. Open Mat will take place on Friday night from 6:30 to 7:30 PM at the venue.
