No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu in Queen Creek.
No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes in Queen Creek, AZ. Train without the traditional Gi — rash guard and shorts. Morning and evening options available.
BJJ Without the Gi
No-Gi BJJ strips away the traditional kimono and puts you in a rash guard and shorts. The pace is faster, the grips change completely, and the transitions are more fluid. It's the version of BJJ closest to real-world grappling and MMA, and it develops a different set of skills than Gi training.
Why Train No-Gi
No-Gi develops speed, scrambling ability, and underhook/overhook control that translates directly to wrestling and self-defense scenarios. Many of our students train both Gi and No-Gi to build a complete game.
- Faster pace and transitions
- Wrestling-based grips and control
- Directly applicable to self-defense
- Complements Gi training for a complete game
- Popular competition format
What to Wear
Rash guard (fitted, long or short sleeve) and grappling shorts or spats. No pockets, zippers, or loose clothing. If you don't have a rash guard for your first class, a fitted athletic shirt works fine.
When to train.
Real results.
"Started BJJ at 42 with zero athletic background. The GB1 Fundamentals program met me exactly where I was. Eight months later I'm in the best shape of my life and earned my first stripe. Never too late."
"Moved to Queen Creek from California and tried two other gyms before finding GB. The depth of instruction here is on another level — multiple black belts plus an incredible coaching staff. My daughter and I both train and it's become the highlight of our week."
Questions answered.
No. While many students train both, you can start with No-Gi classes. The fundamentals — posture, pressure, position — are the same.
Rash guard and grappling shorts (or spats). No Gi required. If you don't own a rash guard yet, a tight-fitting athletic shirt works for your first class.
Different, not harder. No-Gi is faster and more slippery. The Gi gives you more grips to slow things down. Most students eventually train both.
