As the name suggests, NOGI training is undertaken without the GI uniform. This style of grappling is generally faster and more dynamic than GI grappling. No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu uses body mechanics and wrestling techniques including positions and submissions that are not allowed and/or not available in the GI.

Class Types

• Beginners - covering the fundamental techniques and movements, this class caters to white and blue belts (although we recommend all levels to attend) 

• All Levels - covering fundamental through to advanced techniques and movements, this class caters to all belt levels

Uniform

• Rash guard
• Shorts
• Spats (optional)

What Should I Wear for No Gi BJJ? 

MMA style shorts, a rash guard and spats (this is optional).  If you don’t have a rash guard then a t-shirt is fine for the first couple of classes. Please note, there should be no zips and/or buttons (and preferably no pockets) on any item of clothing and please ensure your finger and toe nails are short. 

What Should I Expect from my BJJ Class?  

All our classes start with a warm up (Individual warm-up, individual movement drills, basic partner drills or a vigorous conditioning warm up)  instructors then move on to demonstrate techniques, set ups and positions. Students then drill these and use them in the sparring that follows.
