We Offer Both Gi & No Gi Training.
No Gi Grappling
Designed for both beginners and advanced grapplers, our goal is to help students develop a strong understanding of the fundamental principles of No-Gi Grappling and to improve their overall grappling skills. No-Gi Grappling is a form of grappling that is performed without the traditional Gi worn in other forms of Grappling such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This means that instead of gripping the fabric of a Gi to control or submit an opponent, the focus is on using body control, leverage and technique to achieve the same results.
The curriculum includes techniques such as takedowns, positional control, and submissions, as well as the key principles of leverage, body mechanics and timing. We also focus on developing a competitive mindset, which includes managing pressure and tailoring winning competition strategies.
Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
The primary focus of Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is using leverage and technique to control an opponent with the goal of submitting them through chokes or joint locks.
Gi BJJ training involves drilling techniques, sparring and live randori (free sparring). Gi BJJ practitioners wear a heavy cotton uniform known as the Gi to make gripping and controlling easier. The Adult Gi Program focuses on the core techniques every adult Gracie Jiu-Jitsu student should know how to execute.
Students can increase their overall Gracie Jiu-Jitsu knowledge by introducing more advanced techniques while improving their movement and coordination. During these interactive sessions, students are highly encouraged to ask questions to improve their individual under
