Traditional Gi Ji Jitsu has been the standard and loved by practitioners for decades, No-Gi Jiu Jitsu has exploded in popularity recently offering a faster paced, more dynamic facet to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
what is no-gi jiu jitsu?
No-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a faster-paced, newer variation of the traditional combat sport that doesn’t use the traditional uniform or Gi. Instead, students wear shorts, a rash guard, or spats.
No-Gi BJJ has skyrocketed in recent years due to the popularity of some of the best grapplers in the world like Gordon Ryan and Mikey Musumeci competing exclusively in No-Gi competitions.
No-gi BJJ is faster-paced and scrappier because it’s harder to control your opponent. Because of this, No-Gi Jiu Jitsu has attracted spectators to the sport for the first time, and often find a No-Gi match more exciting.
Traditional gi Jiu Jitsu will provide you with a solid foundation of defense skills and offensive skills, No-Gi will build off your foundational knowledge and speed up your knowledge of those offensive tactics.

Robust Set Of Skills
Training No-Gi BJJ will hone your overall skills as you focus on technique and dynamic adaptability, making your Jiu-Jitsu game more complete.

No-Gi uses many traditional wrestling techniques. This allows you to hone your takedown skills, movement, and control of your opponent which are important for dominating the scrambles.
Sharpen your offense
No-Gi requires more precise control and knowledge of levers and frames having fewer grips, improving your offensive techniques.
Increased Confidence & self esteem
As you master No-Gi techniques and progress through the ranks, this will have an everlasting effect on your mental health that is unmatched in any other sport.

REVIEWS OF MEMENTO COMBAT SPORTS
"High quality, patient and student-focused instruction. Highly recommend this place!"
Wish I could give 10 stars for this gym.
Myself, and a group of 8-10 BJJ people traveled from all over as far as Alaska to Australia to train together. When our original host gym fell through, Memento Combat Sports graciously allowed us to drop in to their classes and open mats for the weekend.
This gym is amazing.
My game has transformed over the last year of me training here. The coaches are all spectacular and take an individual interest in each and every student on the mats.

If you’re on the fence PLEASE come visit!
I was nervous when i began my journey around 5 months ago but everyone in there has made it an amazing experience so far, I’ve learned a lot and most importantly I dropped weight from 215 down to 175!

Having never trained BJJ I had no clue what to expect.
I did the free week trial and was hooked after that week not only because of the martial art itself but the coaching and the people at memento.
My wife and I quickly found the people here to be some of the best around.
My family started here in hopes of instilling confidence in my 8 yr. old son. Shortly after that, my daughter wanted to join as well, because, in her words, "I want to have fun too"

Have Questions About No-GI Jiu Jitsu Classes at Memento Combat Sports?
Here are some frequently asked questions. If you still have questions about the program, please click the button below to contact one of our coaches.
Contact usWhat Do i wear to no-gi classes?
For No-Gi classes, you’ll want to wear a rash guard and a pair of board shorts or Spats (tight pants) that do not have pockets. If you don’t have No-Gi gear on hand, you can always purchase from our on-site store; or you are always welcome to wear your own brands. All Gi and No Gi classes will be marked so that you’ll know what attire to wear to class.
Do you Have Changing rooms?
Yes! We have private changing rooms with doors that lock. The changing rooms have mirrors and benches as well, so if you want to train at 6 am, then head to work that is an option!
How many classes can I attend with my membership?
All of our memberships include UNLIMITED class attendance. To accommodate your busy schedule, we offer several different class times throughout the day. Please see our current schedule to see if we have times that fit your schedule!
How soon can I attend no-gi classes?
Many of our Memento Combat Sports Students start No-Gi BJJ as soon as they start their traditional Gi Jiu-Jitsu. If you are unsure if you want to train N0-Gi right away, you’re welcome to learn the foundations of BJJ before starting your No-Gi journey. Remember this is YOUR journey!
What can I expect in my first class?
During your first class you will be welcomed and included in the class just like you’ve been a member for years. You will receive one on one instruction from our knowledgeable instructors and you will work in with one or more of our students to help nurture and develop the basic foundations of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
