Gracie Barra’s No-Gi program focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training without the traditional gi (uniform). While BJJ practitioners typically train with a gi, which includes a jacket and pants, the No-Gi program emphasizes techniques and strategies that are applicable in situations where practitioners may not be wearing a gi, such as in mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense scenarios.

The No-Gi program at Gracie Barra typically covers a range of techniques including takedowns, submissions, sweeps, and positional control, all adapted for a no-gi environment. This program often incorporates elements of wrestling, judo, and submission grappling to provide students with a well-rounded skill set that can be effective both with and without the gi.
