Wrestling Meets Jiu-Jitsu

Without the friction of the gi, every position changes. Grips are different, transitions are quicker, and the leg-lock game opens up.

Our No-Gi program complements the gi curriculum so you build a complete grappling skill set — useful for MMA, competition, or simply a different kind of training week.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the requirements for No-Gi?

    You need to be a white belt with 3 or more stripes. This ensures you have the fundamentals to train safely at the faster No-Gi pace.

  • What do I wear for No-Gi?

    Rash guard (compression shirt) and grappling shorts or spats. No pockets, zippers, or loose clothing.

  • Is No-Gi harder than training in the gi?

    It's different rather than harder. Without gi grips, the pace is faster and more slippery. Many find it complements their gi game well.

  • Will training No-Gi help my gi game?

    Yes. No-Gi develops body awareness, timing, and techniques that don't rely on grips — making your overall game more complete.
