No-gi jiujitsu

No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is a fast-paced style of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practiced without the traditional gi, using athletic rash guards and shorts instead. Training emphasizes wrestling, body positioning, clinch work, submissions, and escapes while developing speed, balance, and explosive movement. It's an excellent choice for self-defense because it closely mirrors real-world situations where clothing grips aren't available. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced grappler, No-Gi classes provide a challenging, high-energy environment that builds confidence, fitness, and practical skills. At Rigan Machado Jiu Jitsu of Northern Colorado, our supportive coaching and welcoming community help every student improve at their own pace.
