Our No-Gi Grappling program at HOGA offers a modern approach to submission wrestling. Perfect for MMA enthusiasts, competitive grapplers, and anyone seeking effective martial arts training without the traditional gi uniform.
What is No-Gi Grappling?
No-Gi Grappling is submission wrestling without the traditional gi uniform. Practiced in athletic wear (rash guards and shorts), it emphasizes:
- Speed and Athletics: Faster-paced action without gi grips
