PHOTOS: Grappling for the title
No, it wasn’t the final sequence of “The Karate Kid” at the McDermott Athletic Center Saturday, but it looked like it as the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) hosted a jiu jitsu tournament. About 400 competitors ranging in age from 4 to 70-plus took to the mat in the all-day tournament with up to six matches running at a time. Nick Silcox, MAC general manager, said the organization rents out the facility several times a year, but this one was the biggest one as he expected to see 1,000 people come through the doors of the facility.
