Submission grappling for ages 14+ in a rash guard and shorts. The same jiu-jitsu without the gi: faster, with nothing to grab. All levels welcome.


Movement and conditioning drills to get you loose and ready to grapple.
Takedowns, positions and submissions such as chokes, armbars and leg locks, shown step by step.
You rep the move with a partner until it starts to feel natural.
Sparring comes later in your training. Beginners learn the basics in a safe setting first.


Both head coaches have competed at the world level. Beginners get the same coaching as the black belts.

Pick a program. We text you to set a day and time.
Wear athletic clothes with no zippers. We lend you a gi for BJJ.
A coach walks you through the warm-up and the basics. No sparring on day one.
Leave your name and number and we'll text you a time that works. No experience needed.
In the gi you can grab the uniform, which slows the game down. In No-Gi there is nothing to hold, so grips move to the wrists, neck and legs and the pace is faster.
No. No-Gi is open to all skill levels, and you can join the beginner class without any jiu-jitsu background.
A t-shirt or rash guard and athletic shorts or pants with no zippers. A mouthguard and some athletic tape are worth having.
No. Beginner sessions teach the basics in a safe setting. Sparring comes later in your training.
