NAGA Battleground NY/NJ Metro Championship

WELCOME TO NAGA BATTLEGROUND INC.

Welcome to a new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament Circuit entitled NAGA Battleground Inc. (NBG). NBG, while similar in some respects, is an entirely separate company from the North American Grappling Association (NAGA).  NBG aims to provide competitors with a healthy, fair, and secure competition environment at an affordable price.  NBG BJJ events have Gi & No-Gi Divisions for children, teens, and adults.  Gi & No-Gi divisions will follow traditional BJJ point scoring systems with some minor differences.  NBG also allows competitors to fight multiple times, even if they lose their 1st match.  

GUARANTEED 2 MATCHES TO ALL COMPETITORS

• 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
