No-Gi BJJ

As with regular Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi training involves techniques including takedowns, positions, escapes, and submissions. However, No-Gi is exactly as it sounds; the techniques taught in this class do not require the use of a Gi, or formal uniform.

No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is absolutely fundamental for MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) training and competition. No-Gi training is also great for self defense since a street attacker won't be wearing a gi.

The training in No-Gi classes can often be more intense that regular classes with the gi. Since there is not a gi to hold onto, there is often less stalling or resting, and since there is no friction from a gi, there is usually more scrambling involved, resulting in a match that can be faster paced.
