NO-GI

Our No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes focus on grappling without the traditional Gi. Training is typically faster-paced and emphasizes movement, positional control, takedowns, escapes, submissions, and techniques that do not rely on gripping the uniform. Students with a foundation in Jiu-Jitsu will have an easier transition into No-Gi, while newer students can develop the fundamentals needed to progress safely and effectively.
