Kids NoGi Jiu Jitsu: 7-13 yr old

About this event

Submission wrestling (also known as submission fighting, submission grappling, sport grappling or no-gi) or combat wrestling is a form of competition and a general term for martial arts and combat sports that focus on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission through the use of submission holds. The term "submission wrestling" usually refers only to the form of competition and training that does not use a gi, or "combat kimono", of the sort often worn with belts that establish rank by color, though some may use the loose trousers of such a uniform, without the jacket. The sport of submission wrestling brings together techniques from catch wrestling, folk wrestling, Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Japanese jiu-jitsu, and sambo. Submission fighting as an element of a larger sport setting is very common in mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, catch wrestling, and others. NoGi is also known for using submission techniques normally banned in other arts or competitions such as heel hooks, toe holds, wrist locks. Kids class ranges from 6 to 12 years old. This class is open to all skill levels, and at minimal athletic shorts and a tight fitting shirt are required. We also recommend groin and mouth protection if you intend on sparring.
