A faster form of grappling

Control the pace.
Own the position.

No-Gi grappling removes the traditional jacket and trousers, so control comes from body position, connection and movement rather than gripping clothing. The result is a fluid style with strong links to wrestling and submission grappling.

You will learn to close distance safely, bring the action to the mat, stay in control through transitions and finish with precise submissions. Every technique is developed against progressive resistance.

Move with intent. Connect under pressure. Finish with control.

Questions answered

No-Gi
FAQs.

What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi?

Gi training allows grips on the jacket and trousers. No-Gi uses fitted sportswear and relies more on direct body control, wrestling-style connections and faster transitions. Both share the same core grappling principles.

Can a complete beginner join?

Yes. Beginners are taught the essential positions, safety habits and movements before intensity is added. Let the coach know it is your first session.

Do I need a rashguard?

A fitted sports T-shirt is suitable for an initial trial. If you continue training, a proper rashguard is more comfortable and durable.

Is No-Gi suitable for self-defence?

No-Gi develops useful skills in balance, clinching, takedowns, positional control and escapes. Training is sport-focused, but many of the physical skills are broadly applicable.

Can I train both Gi and No-Gi?

Absolutely. Training both exposes you to different grips, reactions and movement patterns while strengthening the same underlying grappling skills.

What is the Marathon Roll?

10 x 5 minute rounds of live sparring at medium intensity (gi and nogi). Also an opportunity to troubleshoot techniques and get fast, direct feedback from coaches to accelerate your learning and development.
