GI - Beginners

Alex Moura , Hifen Martins

GI - Beginners

Gi BJJ classes are undertaken in a traditional Gi (kimono) uniform. This grappling style is grip-heavy as both you and your partner can grab one another’s clothing.

The benefits of these grips make for many exciting techniques and submissions that are not possible in the other forms of grappling.

Class Types

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

Uniform 

  • GI (Kimono)
  • Rash Guard

NOGI - Beginners

Alex Moura , Hifen Martins

NOGI - Beginners

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.

What Should I Wear for No Gi BJJ? 

MMA style shorts and a rash guard.  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. 

Class Type

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

What Should I Wear for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? 

We train with GI but if you’re new to BJJ, it’s fine to wear shorts/leggings and a t-shirt for your first couple of classes. However, please note, there should be no zips and/or buttons on any item of clothing. Please also ensure your finger nails and toenails are short so you don’t accidentally scratch anyone.  

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.
