No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Coach Brian McLaughlin utilizing no gi grappling in training
No-Gi BJJ has become increasingly popular due to the rise of mixed martial arts and tournaments such as ADCC. Compared to the gi, no gi offers the opportunity for more scrambles, a faster pace, and other small differences that can have a large overall impact on your grappling game. Because of that, I’ve created a section on the site completely dedicated to no gi grappling.
Brief History of No Gi Grappling
No-Gi grappling is mainly an offshoot of wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ at one point in time used only the Gi. When BJJ started to spread to America it came into contact with wrestlers and wrestling takedowns. Instead of utilizing the Gi to apply leverage and control, no gi focuses more on under-hooks and over-hooks to dominate opponents. No-Gi grapplers are typically a dangerous hybrid of the wrestler’s takedowns and a BJJ players guard work and submissions. This blend makes No-Gi grapplers comfortable in any position. No-Gi grapplers have become some of the most dangerous submission experts in MMA and grappling.
Learn to Grapple has a plethora of videos on No-Gi grappling. All the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction found on Learn to Grapple is done by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black-Belts. The videos are designed to give you the best experience and provide a real learning opportunity for students of any level.
