No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Adaptability, Precision, and Athletic Application

Our No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program offers a dynamic and practical approach to grappling while maintaining the same structure, technical standards, and professionalism found throughout Kroyler Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and our Gi Jiu-Jitsu Program.

Training without the gi emphasizes movement, timing, and adaptability, while still prioritizing control, technique, and intelligent decision-making. No-Gi training is accessible to beginners and valuable for experienced practitioners alike.

What Is No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu?

No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is practiced without the traditional gi (uniform), typically using athletic training attire instead.

Without the gi to grip, training places a greater emphasis on movement, timing, positioning, and control. The core principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu remain the same — leverage, balance, and technique — but students learn how to apply them in a faster-moving environment.

No-Gi training is approachable for beginners and provides valuable perspective for students at all experience levels.

How No-Gi Training Fits Into Our System

At KGJJ, No-Gi is not treated as a separate discipline — it is an extension of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The same fundamentals, positional concepts, and problem-solving approach taught in gi classes carry directly into No-Gi training. Students learn how to adjust grips, timing, and control while maintaining strong technical foundations.

This integrated approach allows students to train confidently across both formats without sacrificing quality or clarity.

What Students Learn

No-Gi classes focus on positional control, transitions, escapes, and submissions in an environment where movement and reaction speed play a larger role.

Students develop balance, coordination, and awareness while learning how to apply technique under different conditions. Training emphasizes technical proficiency, and efficiency and adaptability rather than strength or aggression.

As with all classes at KGJJ, understanding why techniques work is prioritized over memorization.

Structure, Safety, and Technical Standards

No-Gi classes follow the same structured format and safety standards as our gi program.

Instruction is clear and intentional, drilling is supervised, and live training is conducted with control and respect. Instructors actively monitor training to ensure techniques are applied responsibly and with proper mechanics.

High technical standards are maintained so students continue progressing without developing bad habits or unnecessary risk.

Who Can Benefit from No-Gi

No-Gi training benefits a wide range of students.

It is valuable for those interested in self-defense, athletic development, competition, or simply expanding their understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Students who train both gi and No-Gi often develop a deeper, more adaptable skill set.

Whether No-Gi is your primary focus or a complement to gi training, it fits naturally within our overall program.

Training Culture

The culture in No-Gi classes reflects the same expectations found throughout the academy.

Training partners support one another, intensity is balanced with control, and respect remains central to the room. The goal is productive training that challenges students while maintaining a positive and professional environment.

This consistency ensures that No-Gi training remains approachable, focused, and aligned with the values of KGJJ.

Getting Started

No-Gi classes are open to both new and current students, and any experience level.

If you are new to Jiu-Jitsu, we recommend starting with an intro class to understand the structure and expectations of training. If you already train in the gi, No-Gi classes provide an excellent way to broaden your skill set.
