No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu for All Levels—Unleash Speed, Control, and Power at Brave MMA

Join the Brave Family: Discover the Power of No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu for All Levels, From Beginners to Competitors.

Why Choose Jiu-Jitsu No Gi at Brave MMA and Fitness?

No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic and fast-paced version of the art, focused on grappling without the traditional gi (kimono). This style relies more on body control, speed, and athleticism, making it a great complement to Gi training or a powerful discipline on its own. At Brave MMA and Fitness, we welcome all levels—whether you’re completely new to the sport or looking to refine your No-Gi game.

🥋 No-Gi vs. Gi Jiu-Jitsu: While both styles rely on the same core techniques and principles, No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu focuses more on speed, athleticism, and grips based on the opponent’s body rather than their clothing. This makes No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu quicker-paced, with an emphasis on controlling limbs and using body position to secure submissions.
🤝 Supportive Community: No matter your experience level, you’ll be welcomed into our inclusive and motivating environment where everyone’s progress is celebrated.
💪 Expert Coaching: Learn from experienced instructors who help you sharpen your technique, adapt your skills to No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, and prepare for competition or personal growth.
🛡️ Self-Defense and Adaptability: Gain practical self-defense skills with a focus on controlling and submitting opponents when there are no gi grips to rely on.
🏆 Competitive Edge: Whether you’re focused on competition or just personal growth, our specialized No-Gi program prepares you for the demands of tournaments, helping you compete at your best.
🌟 Train Both Gi and No-Gi for Maximum Growth: While No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu has its unique elements, training both Gi and No-Gi is highly beneficial, especially for beginners. It allows you to develop a well-rounded skill set, as the Gi offers grip-based techniques and positional control, while No-Gi enhances your speed, mobility, and submission transitions.

Brave is an amazing place to train jiu jitsu and get a good workout! Kenny helped me fix my squat and deadlift and I can say with just this session I have seen massive improvements! As far as the gym goes, the space is very clean with ample amounts of space for everyone to roll and the fitness area has all new equipment.
