Rules
The North American Grappling Association (NAGA) promotes tournaments where grapplers of all skill levels and ages can showcase their talents and compete to win the best awards in grappling. As the world's largest mixed grappling organization, NAGA offers divisions for Gi and No-Gi competitors, providing a platform for athletes to challenge themselves in a professional and well-organized event. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a first-time participant, NAGA tournaments promise a memorable experience.
NAGA awards HUGE championship belts to all Children, Teen, Adult, Masters, Director and Executive, Expert Division Winners. Each competitor is limited to one championship belt per event.
NAGA now awards Children's Championship belts to all non-expert Children & Teens (17 yrs. & Under) 1st place division winners. Each competitor is limited to one championship belt per event.
2-Person Divisions: Best 2-out-of-3
3-Person Divisions: Round Robin
4-Person + Divisions: 4 or more competitors will now have a 3rd place bracket for those who lose a match enabling them to compete again at no extra cost
These new bracket types will make sure each competitor has a chance at two matches per division (barring injury, opponent withdrawal, etc.) so they can gain that valuable experience on the mats.

NAGA is excited to offer money prizes at all our 2027 events to the winners of the Men’s and Women’s Adult Expert No-Gi Absolute divisions. To be eligible for the prize money, a competitor must participate in both their weight class division and the absolute division. There must be at least 4 competitors in the absolute division for prize money to be awarded.
The amount awarded to the winner will be based on the number of competitors entered at the start of the division.
*Some tournaments may have a Master Expert Absolute, this division is not eligible for the prize money.
Points for Submission Attempts: NAGA is the only international circuit to award points for submission attempts
Competitor Interviews: NAGA is the only organization that interviews competitors to accurately place them in appropriate skill divisions beyond just belt rank
Allowed Submissions: NAGA allows virtually all submissions in our Intermediate and Expert No-Gi Skill levels (Ages 18 & Above)
Weigh-In: NAGA was the first to introduce the option of weighing in either the night before or on the day of the event. Additionally, we provide a 1-pound allowance to spare competitors from having to strip down completely during weigh-ins!
NAGA will have over 100 tournaments worldwide this year. If you're interested in becoming a referee, please fill out the Referee Application. We also have various other positions available, such as ring coordinator, security, weigh-in, and awards. If you're not competing but would like to work at an event, email us at info@nagafighter.com.
