It’s a No-Gi Summer!

Thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Here’s why you should give No-Gi a shot—especially if you’re a beginner:

🥋 No-Gi = Faster Learning Curve
Without the grips of a gi, beginners get to focus on movement, body control, and timing—key foundations of BJJ.

💨 Speed & Scrambles
No-gi tends to be faster-paced, helping you develop quick reflexes, strong balance, and fluid transitions early on.

🧠 Real-World Application
No-gi techniques closely mimic real-life self-defense situations or MMA, making it more practical for some goals.

🤝 Beginner Friendly Culture
Many no-gi classes welcome newcomers with open arms and simplified, effective techniques.

👕 Simple Gear
All you need to start? Rashguard + shorts. No gi = no excuses.

📍 Whether you’re chasing fitness, self-defense, or competition, no-gi BJJ is a killer way to begin your journey.

BJJ is on Monday nights at 8:30PM and Fridays at 6:30PM with Coach @tharson801.

DM, or email 📩info@valourmartialarts.com to schedule your first class!

Class of 1998 meetup in the 604!
Mani was in the first Thai class I ever did with my brother back in September, 1998 when Ultimate was still called Siam Scarborough.
He’s also got THE sharpest shins 🔪🗡️ out of anyone I’ve ever trained with.
I’m glad we’ve all had eachother’s backs all these years (especially in the last few) 😎
We’ll do it again soon!
