    Hi Fernando,
    Please give them a call at: (909)987-2509 to inquire about tournaments and times.

    “No-Gi” means:

    Gi or no Gi means uniform, (long sleeve canvass top that is reinforced and triple stitched so it does not tear or rip, and somewhat lighter canvass pants with a gusset in them) or no uniform. The difference is that some chokes, joint locks, holds, and restraints rely on using your opponent’s uniform or your own to apply them. Not only that but it also prevents slippage and makes it harder for opponents to slip out of those types of techniques. That’s why you would sometimes see Japanese fighters in Pride wear gi tops.

    There are a number of techniques that don’t involve using the gi or uniform. Those techniques also require better skill at applying and keeping intact since their is more chance for slippage as fighters or wrestlers become sweaty and there is no uniform to hold onto or grip when those techniques are applied.

    In a street situation if you attempted to apply a hold or choke that required a gi then your opponents shirt or yours would probably rip or be shredded in the process and the hold would not be very effective. A well trained, knowledgeable wrestler or Ju-jitus stylist will know this and only try for those holds, chokes, restraints, and joint locks that don’t require a gi or uniform to apply.
