The rules for NAGA no-gi and gi (BJJ) divisions can be found here. \nMULTIPLE DIVISIONS FOR YOUTHS & TEENS\nYouth and teen competitors who want to compete in an additional higher weight class or older age group division can do so for $20 per division. You can add one additional weight class or age group per division type (no-gi or gi) for a total of 4 divisions. Competitors cannot do multiple skill levels. As an example: a beginner 11 year old 85 pound competitor could add the 90-99.9 weight class OR the 12-13 year old category (not both). They cannot add the intermediate skill level. They can do this for no-gi\, gi\, or both. It is $20 for each division added. If they wanted to go up in weight for no-gi and up in age for gi (or vice-versa) we can accommodate that request.

The rules for NAGA no-gi and gi (BJJ) divisions can be found here. \nMULTIPLE DIVISIONS FOR YOUTHS & TEENS\nYouth and teen competitors who want to compete in an additional higher weight class or older age group division can do so for $20 per division.

The rules for NAGA no-gi and gi (BJJ) divisions can be found here. \nMULTIPLE DIVISIONS FOR YOUTHS & TEENS\nYouth and teen competitors who want to compete in an additional higher weight class or older age group division can do so for $20 per division. You can add one additional weight class or age group per division type (no-gi or gi) for a total of 4 divisions. Competitors cannot do multiple skill levels. As an example: a beginner 11 year old 85 pound competitor could add the 90-99.9 weight class OR the 12-13 year old category (not both). They cannot add the intermediate skill level. They can do this for no-gi\, gi\, or both. It is $20 for each division added. If they wanted to go up in weight for no-gi and up in age for gi (or vice-versa) we can accommodate that request. If you would like to add an additional division (or two)\, call the office at 860.537.3686 or email info@nagafighter.com.
