Brazilian jiu jitsu: nogi classes
No-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a style of grappling that does not involve the use of a traditional kimono or gi. Instead, no-gi practitioners wear tight-fitting athletic clothing, such as rash guards and shorts.
We have expert nogi coaches who excel in this field, monthly Wrestling for BJJ classes with a dedicated coach as well as BJJ for MMA classes in partnership with Cheshire Combat Academy.
This format has exploded in popularity over the past decade with the emergence of new rule sets aswell as it’s direct correlation to MMA and is an essential skillset in any grapplers arsenal.

FAQ about
nogi training
do i need specific nogi clothing?
Nope! Ideally you will wear a BJJ specific rashguard and shorts – these are designed to keep you comfortable, safe from skin damage and to be durable to stand up to the rigour of training!
However, all you need to get started with your nogi training is shorts (no pockets or zips, please) and a tshirt.
You can order NoGi clothing from our partners at a discounted rate directly through the club – so just ask if you want to get kitted out.
do i need to buy a stealth bjj uniform / rashguard to train at stealth bjj Cheshire?
Absolutely not.
As mentioned above you are welcome to wear any nogi here, regardless of brand, colour or affiliation so long as it is free from zips and pockets.
Although not mandatory and you are under no pressure whatsoever to do so – the club does periodically collaborate wiht our partners to produce Stealth BJJ Cheshire Nogi sets for our members who want to represent us on the mats!
can i just train nogi?
Of course, some poeple prefer nogi over the gi and vice-versa and that is absolutely fine.
We do however recommend everybody at least tries both to ensure a fully rounded grapppling game!
is gi harder than Nogi?
Which style is harder depends on individual circumstances and preferences – each form has its own distinct styles with unique challenges. Gi jiu-jitsu uses a uniform for grip, which can lend itself to a more technical and strategic approach whilst nogi puts emphasis on speed, scrambles and scrambles.
