Mahncke Park grapplers looking for no-gi training find it at Gracie Barra Alamo Heights, five minutes north on Broadway. No-gi Jiu-Jitsu removes the traditional kimono and emphasizes body control, wrestling-based takedowns, and submissions that work without fabric grips. The faster pace builds reflexes and adaptability that carry over to both competition and real-world situations. Professor Zaza brings 18 years of experience to every session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is no-gi Jiu-Jitsu and how is it different from gi training?
In no-gi Jiu-Jitsu, you train without the traditional kimono. Instead of gripping collars and sleeves, you use underhooks, overhooks, and body locks to control your opponent. The pace is typically faster, transitions happen more quickly, and techniques rely on body positioning rather than fabric. At Gracie Barra Alamo Heights, no-gi sessions complement the gi curriculum by exposing different aspects of grappling and building a more complete skill set.

Gracie Barra Alamo Heights offers adult and kids no-gi classes on multiple days throughout the week. Check our schedule page or call (210) 864-7909 for the most current class times and days.
