GI BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or "BJJ", is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling with an emphasis on ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit.

Jiu-Jitsu, meaning “the gentle art”, earned its name because it uses submission positions to control an opponent instead of striking methods. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant.

No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (also referred to as "Submission Wrestling") is simply Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without the gi (traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform). Generally, grappling shorts or board style shorts are worn with a t-shirt or rash guard shirt.  As with Gi Jiu-Jitsu, the goal of No-Gi BJJ is to gain a dominant position and by using a submission technique to cause the opponent to submit or "tap out". There are No-Gi tournaments all over the world and many people enjoy the realism of competing in normal clothing.
