What is No Gi BJJ?
No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a variation of traditional BJJ that is practiced without the kimono or "gi." In No Gi BJJ, practitioners typically wear shorts and a rash guard or a T-shirt.
This style emphasizes a different set of techniques and strategies due to the lack of sleeve or collar kimono grips and handles. Without the gi, the game is generally faster and relies more on body grips, as practitioners cannot grab their opponent's clothing.
No Gi training is popular among those who compete in mixed martial arts (MMA) or submission grappling tournaments, as it closely mimics the attire and conditions of these competitions.
Techniques such as clinches, leg locks, and various chokes still play a significant role, but they are adapted to the absence of the gi.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu just for men?
Absolutely not! BJJ is for anyone, regardless of gender, age, or fitness level. We have a diverse range of students at our gym, and we welcome anyone interested in learning the art.
What should I wear to a No Gi BJJ class?
You should wear comfortable workout clothes—ideally without zips or pockets. A T-shirt or rashguard is a great choice for the top, and shorts or leggings/spats are the perfect option for the bottoms. Please bring some flip-flops or sliders so your feet are covered between the changing rooms and the mats.
