About The Art of Gi Jiu-Jitsu

Unlike No-Gi training, putting on the Gi changes the game entirely. You have to handle lapel grips, sleeve control, and a much more tactical pace. It forces you to think three moves ahead because every inch of fabric is an opportunity for your opponent to control you, or for you to execute a sweep. We focus on these micro-adjustments so you learn to use leverage over brute force.
