What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu?
No-Gi is practiced without the traditional kimono, so grips and movement patterns change. The fundamentals of positional control and grappling still matter.

NO-GI / MMA
Fast-paced submission grappling without the kimono — applicable to MMA, self-defense, and ADCC-style competition.

Training at MCBJJ Carson
NO-GI BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU IN CARSON
No-Gi training focuses on movement, control and submission grappling without the traditional kimono. At MCBJJ in Carson, students can explore this format alongside the academy's other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs.
The academy lists No-Gi options for adults and younger students. If you're new, ask the team which session is appropriate for your age and experience rather than assuming that every No-Gi session is a beginner class.
The training takes place at 441 Carson St. Unit O in Carson, CA. Students traveling from the South Bay can review the schedule and request a first class directly through the academy.
