No-Gi Grappling

---

No-Gi Grappling is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit. When Jiu Jitsu is performed without the traditional uniform called the Gi, it is then considered Grappling or Submission Wrestling.

Our grappling class puts a large focus on transitioning and balance. Our Jiu Jitsu, philosophy makes it critical that you first establish good positions through transitions with good technique and POSTURE before any submissions are worth the risk of position loss.

Submission grappling (No-Gi) focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the use of the Gi. We recommended that students interested in No Gi Grappling training still attend the BJJ classes in order to get a solid base in BJJ, but it is not mandatory. You will notice that our best No Gi grapplers and MMA Fighters have attended the BJJ Gi classes. The No Gi classes are a great workout and will challenge you both mentally and physically.

Grappling can most easily be compared to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, however without the traditional jacket and pants called the Gi. Grapplers unlike Submission Wrestlers are very comfortable from their backs vs. a top position the wrestler prefers. No-Gi Jiu Jitsu and Grappling is essentially the same thing.
