No-Gi Program
Gracie Barra River Oaks No-Gi program focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques adapted for situations where the traditional gi (uniform) is not worn. While most BJJ practitioners train with a gi, the No-Gi program prepares students for environments such as mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions or self-defense scenarios, where grips and control need to be adjusted without the use of a jacket and pants.
NO-GI PROGRAM
The No-Gi curriculum covers a wide array of techniques, including takedowns, submissions, sweeps, and positional control, all tailored to the unique challenges of No-Gi grappling. By incorporating elements from wrestling, judo, and submission grappling, the program equips students with a versatile skill set that is effective both with and without the gi.
Gracie Barra River Oaks takes pride in its commitment to high-level training and competitive excellence. Under the expert leadership of Prof. Ulpiano Malachias, a highly decorated IBJJF black belt champion and international referee, our academy provides world-class instruction. Our coaching staff features top-tier black belts like Vitor Peres and Bruno Matias, who bring extensive competition experience, alongside Servando Almaraz, whose elite wrestling background ensures our students have the best takedown and positional control training possible.
