Gracie Barra HQ Irvine’s No-Gi program focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training without the traditional gi (uniform). While BJJ practitioners typically train with a gi, which includes a jacket and pants, the No-Gi program emphasizes techniques and strategies that are applicable in situations where practitioners may not be wearing a gi, such as in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense scenarios.
The No-Gi program at Gracie Barra HQ Irvine typically covers a range of techniques including takedowns, submissions, sweeps, and positional control, all adapted for a no-gi environment. This program often incorporates elements of wrestling, judo, and submission grappling to provide students with a well-rounded skill set that can be effective both with and without the gi.
You won’t find in the area a better team to train grappling regardless if competition is your goal or not.
No matter what your goals are, you will find what you want and need at Gracie Barra HQ.
