Gi versus No-gi Grappling
At BCBJJ we teach two styles of grappling:
- Gi Grappling: Traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is practiced in a gi, which is a thick martial arts uniform. The gi introduces added strategies using fabric grips. Gi grappling emphasizes technical precision.
- No-Gi Grappling: Practiced without a traditional uniform; just shirt/rashguard and shorts/spats. No-gi submission grappling removes certain grips, requiring heightened positional awareness in scrambles with speed, agility, and adaptability
Both styles offer unique benefits for all students and we encourage everyone to train in both styles!
