Classes & training

What’s the difference between gi and no-gi?

In gi classes you train wearing the traditional jiu-jitsu uniform (gi), which allows grips on the jacket and pants. In no-gi classes, you train without the gi, typically wearing a rashguard and shorts or leggings. Because there are no clothing grips, the pace is usually faster and relies more on body positioning. Both gi and no-gi develop strong fundamentals, and many students train both as they complement each other well.

What is open mat?

Open mat is literally that: we open the mats for training time where you can drill or spar at your own pace.

How long is a class?

Most classes are 60–90 minutes.

Competition & events

Do you offer competition training?

Yes. We support both recreational and competitive athletes. Competition training is held on Thursdays, with additional sessions added on demand. Our competition program is aimed at preparing athletes for major BJJ competitions such as Worlds and Europeans, in both gi and no-gi.

Do you host seminars?

Yes. Hosting seminars with guest instructors is an important part of our program, and our first seminar is coming soon. Follow our social media or sign up for the newsletter for updates.
