The 'GI' Game

The name 'GI' in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu refers to the kimono often seen in other Martial Arts such as Karate or Judo. Brazilian Jiu jitsu teaches the practitioner to use the GI to control and submit their opponent. The GI game is seen 'in general' as a more technical aspect of BJJ and provides the practitioner with much more options to control and submit their opponent. The GI game is usually comprised of foot sweeps, throws, lapel control, chokes and of course 'guard'.

The 'NO GI' Game

The NO GI jiu jitsu game lends itself more to wrestling and leglocking. It tends to be faster, slippier and have more scrambles (fights for positional dominance) than the GI game. Practioners often find themselves employing different techniques in NO GI than GI to account for the lack of grips. NO GI BJJ focuses more on wrist control and clasping of grips to dominate and control the opponent.

Kids

Our kids curriculum focuses on the development of BJJ fundamentals and understanding. Kids classes are designed to be fun and challenging. Our kids classes contain full sparring classes alongside fun activities and games to make sure the children are developing in a positive and safe environment. Certain submissions and chokes will not be permitted within the kids classes. The kids advance onto the adult classes when they reach the age of 16.

We have 3 categories for the kids classes:
