The No-Gi Advantage
Our team on a whole specialise in NOGI Submission Grappling however we do train in the traditional Kimono (Gi) once a week.
David chose to focus on the NOGI aspect of the sport for many reasons. NOGI when practiced as a sport transfers much better into real fighting situations and also other fighting sports like MMA.
Jiu Jitsu as a sport is also becoming more popular in a NOGI format which in turn offers our athletes more opportunities on a big stage. The NOGI style also offers more submission opportunities, in particular, leg locks, which we are well known for being highly skilled in as a team.
