This grappling style of fighting is more closely in-line with wrestling, catch-wrestling, shoot fighting, etc.

With No Gi training, practitioners focus on using the grips and legs, underhooks, overhooks, butterfly hooks, wrist control, and more to submit their opponents.  With No Gi, there is less to hold onto because of the rashguards and / or bare upper body.

We also offer gi classes.

The origin of Jiu Jitsu is well known to have begun in Japan, however, China and other ancient civilizations have similar joint locking techniques (such as Qinna from China and Sambo from Russia) and combat strategies similar to Jiu Jitsu.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu evolved from traditional Jiu Jitsu into a system of ground fighting with a focus on joint locking, chokes, and other submissions.

With Gi training, practitioners can utilize the Gi (Jiu-Jitsu uniform / kimono) for more grip control, lapel chokes, belt control, etc.

We also offer no-gi classes.
