NAGA comes to Hartford
by Brian Woodman Jr. on 07/27/12
Although Connecticut does not currently sanction MMA, making the casinos on Indian land the only venue in our state to legally enjoy these events, fans in the "nutmeg state" still have options.
Among them is the Europa fitness exposition that comes to Connecticut each summer.
NAGA (North American Grappling Association), a branch of the Marlborough-based MMA organization Reality Fighting, hosted its second annual Hartford event under the auspices of the most recent Europa Expo. The two-day event that began on June 29 at the Connecticut Convention Center offered a variety of activities such as body building and tourament Karate that emphasized physical fitness.
During the NAGA event on June 30, participants from a variety of ages and experience levels participated in divisions for grapplers with or without a gi. Winning teams and individuals were assigned national rankings by NAGA.
It will be interesting to see what kind of talent that grappling events like those offered by NAGA or the AMMO Fight League will cultivate.
