Hampton, Virginia

On Saturday, June 12, 2010 the world’s largest grappling tournament circuit, NAGA, makes its debut in Virginia Beach for its 1st annual NAGA Virginia Beach Grappling Championship. This tournament is open to all grappling styles, you do not need to be on a team or be a member of any organization to compete. This event is nationally RANKED!

MASSIVE VENUE = BOO WILLIAMS SPORTSPLEX
NAGA is going all out by renting the entire Boo Williams Sportsplex. This enormous venue has a huge competition area, plenty of free parking, locker rooms, and bleacher seating!!!

SAMURAI SWORDS TO CHILDREN & TENN 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 6 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.

CHAMPIONSHIP BELT
The winner of our Advanced Absolute No-Gi Division will take home a NAGA Championship Belt. This is an open weight division for advanced competitors.

FREE BOARD SHORTS TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS
Any NAGA competitor who competes in both the NAGA North Carolina event (5/8/10) and NAGA Virginia Beach will receive a FREE pair of NAGA board shorts ($45 value). You can pick up your shorts (choose any style in stock) at the Virginia Beach event. We appreciate your continued support of NAGA tournaments!

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.

SAVE MONEY, GET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE EVENT
NAGA will be bringing a truckload of grappling gear (board shorts, rash guards, t-shirts, hats, hoodies, etc.) in children and adults sizes, for males and females. Check out the huge selection of gear and apparel at NAGA Virginia Beach.
