No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra Libertyville: Enhance Your Skills Without the Gi

What is No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu?

No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is a style of BJJ practiced without the traditional kimono. Instead, students wear rash guards and shorts, focusing on grips, body control, and technique rather than relying on gi grips. This style is faster, more fluid, and emphasizes real-world self-defense scenarios and competition readiness.
