NO GI Jiu-Jitsu or Submission Wrestling

No Gi Jiu-Jitsu or Submission wrestling is one of the key martial art disciplines taught at kingdom MMA.

This art is primarily a ground fighting martial art that uses submissions and not striking. This Art allows a smaller or weaker opponent to dominate the larger or stronger opponent by using superior skill and leverage.

The difference between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No Gi Jiu-Jitsu is that No Gi is without the Gi or the Kimono and utilizes shorts and a rash guard or t-shirt. Using the clothing for chokes or other techniques is not allowed, this makes the game much faster and slippery.

No Gi Jiu-Jitsu utilizes more strength, power and quickness, while using the Gi requires more technical skill and many more submissions and reversals are available. We at Kingdom believe it is equally important to train both with the Gi and with No Gi.

Some of the techniques that we teach in our No Gi Jiu-Jitsu program include chokes, joint locks, armbars, shoulder locks, escapes, reversals, and takedowns. We offer classes for beginners and experienced competitors. The average beginner class starts with about a ten minute warm up, thirty minutes of technique and drills, and about twenty minutes of live sparring also known as rolling. The average competitor class is about and hour and a half long and is divided by conditioning drills and sparring. The competitor class is more advanced techniques and a much faster pace.
