Frequently asked questions
Common questions about No-Gi grappling classes at One Way Martial Arts in Alexandria, VA.
-
No-Gi submission grappling is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practiced without the traditional uniform (gi). You train in a rash guard and shorts, using body-control grips like underhooks and wrist control instead of cloth grips.
-
Wear a rash guard (or fitted t-shirt) and grappling shorts or athletic shorts without pockets or zippers. No-Gi does not require a traditional Gi uniform.
-
They are different, not harder. No-Gi is faster-paced with more scrambles since there are no cloth grips. Many students find No-Gi more intuitive at first. Training both styles builds the most complete grappling skill set.
-
No. Our No-Gi Fundamentals classes are built for complete beginners, and your first class is free.

No-Gi classes are led by 4x IBJJF World Champion and professional MMA fighter Mahamed Aly and BJJ black belt Patrick Almeida.
