No-Gi Grappling

The No-Gi Grappling class presented at our school in Launceston, Tasmania is sport focused martial art training that also builds effective self-defence skills. It is fast growing in popularity worldwide.

No-Gi Grappling combines the attributes of Jiu Jitsu & Wrestling in an attempt to maintain a dominant position at all times while working for submissions (joint-locks & chokeholds) to force an opponent to submit. 

Unlike other forms of Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi Grappling is performed without the traditional uniform called the "Gi"; therefore the techniques are modified to accommodate the inability to control an opponent by the Gi.  This style of grappling is a key feature of MMA competitions like the popular UFC and other cage fighting tournaments.

No-Gi tends to be a faster paced game which is great for fitness and conditioning.  Our No-Gi Grappling class is focused on the fundamentals of the No-Gi game and is suitable for all levels.  

During the class you will learn the key points & techniques of the No-Gi game such as how to defend, escape, control & submit an opponent.  You will also have the chance to put your skills into practice during our sparring session, also known as rolling.

 Since No-Gi is performed without the Gi, participants have the choice of wearing the following:

• Rashies or T-shirts

• Fight Shorts or Board Shorts

• Gi pants

We also recommend that you wear a mouth-guard.
