NAGA NO-GI INNOVATIONS

1. Points for Submission Attempts: NAGA is the only international circuit to award points for submission attempts
2. Competitor Interviews: NAGA is the only organization that interviews competitors to accurately place them in appropriate skill divisions beyond just belt rank
3. Allowed Submissions:  NAGA allows virtually all submissions in our Intermediate and Expert No-Gi Skill levels (Ages 18 & Above)
4. 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!
