Brazilian jiu-jitsu without the gi: rashguard, shorts, high tempo, grappling on the mat. For beginners and experienced athletes, several times a week at BJJ DOJO Berlin.
No-gi means Brazilian jiu-jitsu without the kimono. You train in a rashguard and shorts or spats. There are no fabric grips: you control your partner’s head, arms, body and legs directly. That makes the game faster and more physical.
No-gi grappling puts a lot of weight on underhooks, wrestling grips, front headlocks and leg attacks. If you come from wrestling, judo or MMA, you will often feel at home quickly. If you are new, you learn the same principles as in the gi: balance, leverage, position.
Clear levels, fixed times, respectful partners.
No-Gi Beginner to get started, No-Gi All Levels for everyone who already rolls. The schedule shows which class fits you.
Not just evenings: there are no-gi sessions in the morning and in the afternoon. Handy if you work flexible hours or your evenings are already full.
Tap early, roll with control, look after your partner. That goes for beginners and advanced students alike.
Our tip: two gi sessions and one no-gi session a week. The gi builds precision, no-gi builds tempo and pressure. Both are included in your membership.

No experience needed. The No-Gi Beginner class meets you where you are. If you would rather learn the basics in the gi first, start with the beginners course.

A rashguard or a tight-fitting long-sleeve shirt and short sports shorts without pockets or zips. For the trial class, comfortable sportswear is enough.
Our recommendation: the gi if you can, because it slows everything down and teaches clean technique. You can also start straight in no-gi. Later the two complement each other.
Not with us. Belts are only awarded in the gi. How we award belts is explained on our belt promotions page.
Several times a week, in the morning, afternoon and evening. The current times are in the training schedule.
