This week on Gracie Barra Blog we are looking at some No-Gi techniques by Gracie Barra instructors.

ㅤ

Parts of the No-Gi game can be very different without the gi grips that we may be accustomed to. This is especially true when it comes to guard passing where it is much more difficult to find a grip on a guard player who has no pants or sleeves to control.

ㅤ

There are adaptations we can make without the gi to pass our opponent’s guard and worth a GB Technique tutorial all on its own.

If you love No-Gi, did you see the FREE online seminar at GB Online?
