Gi - bjj

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in the Gi emphasizes technique, leverage, and control using a traditional kimono. The Gi allows practitioners to grip the collar, sleeves, and pants, creating more opportunities for sweeps, submissions, and positional control. It demands precision and patience, as grips slow the pace and deepen strategic complexity. Training in the Gi develops strong fundamentals and grip strength, which can translate into No-Gi or self-defense scenarios. It’s a disciplined, methodical art rooted in tradition and technical mastery.

Nogi - Bjj

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) No-Gi is practiced without the traditional kimono, typically wearing rash guards and shorts. It features faster, more dynamic movement due to the lack of grips on clothing. No-Gi relies heavily on body control, underhooks, and overhooks instead of fabric grips, emphasizing speed, athleticism, and fluid transitions. It closely resembles wrestling and submission grappling, making it popular in mixed martial arts (MMA). No-Gi sharpens reflexes and adaptability, encouraging quick thinking and explosive technique execution.

Yoga

Hatha, Ashtanga, and Free Flow yoga each offer unique approaches to movement and mindfulness. Hatha is slow and steady, ideal for building a strong foundation. Ashtanga follows a set sequence, promoting strength, discipline, and endurance. Free Flow, or Vinyasa, is creative and fluid, linking breath with movement in dynamic sequences. Together, these styles cover a spectrum from structured and meditative to fast-paced and expressive, offering something for every level and intention in a yoga practice.
