Our curriculum includes classes where you practice/learn in the gi and classes without it (nogi – sometimes referred to as submission wrestling). The classes are still organized by level (see descriptions for fundamentals, intermediate, and advanced class) and the nogi classes will be designated as such on the schedule (if it isn’t designated, then it is a gi class). Generally, there are 2 days of nogi and 4 days of gi each week. For most practitioners, this is a good ratio of practice to aim for though some people will prefer one over the other and plan their training schedule accordingly. Nogi classes tend to include more wrestling takedowns and a broader array of leg locks. If you are looking to learn or compete in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), nogi training is essential for proper preparation, and as Lucas is a 2-time nogi World Champion, there is no one better to help ensure you are ready.
