Naga

Hello, I was thinking about competing in NAGA Battle At The Beach 7 at Wildwood and would like to ask a few questions.

If I go I would be competing in beginner teens gi and no gi (15) . Im a six month white belt. Is it worth going or am I just going to get my ass kicked. Unlike the mens division there is no 6 month and under division. Would I be facing kids that are right about to get their blue belts?? I have no problem losing its just I wouldnt want to drive 3 hours each way for it to be a waste of time.

Thanks for your time

I would do it, you will learn alot and come out better no matter what.

I have done NAGAs before and here is my advice. Go in relax and at easy and don't worry about winning. You can go up a division and go back done as long as you don't win a match. I recommand doing this to get a extra match in.

Also be prepare to wait a long time!!!!!

Do it. You might get your butt kicked, but you will still learn a lot.

Hey man I'll be there hopefully, and I def think you should go too. Like I told my friend, you might as well have your first competition now. I will hopefully be doing Gi and No-Gi. Hope to see you there!
