Terrell Hills practitioners who want to develop a complete grappling game train no-gi at Gracie Barra Alamo Heights. No-gi strips away the traditional kimono and focuses on wrestling-based control, underhooks, body locks, and submissions that work without grip-dependent setups. The pace is faster and the transitions are quicker — skills that translate directly to real-world self-defense. Professor Zaza, with 18 years of experience, brings competition-tested instruction to every no-gi session. Three minutes from Terrell Hills to the mats.

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.
When are no-gi classes at Gracie Barra Alamo Heights?
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.
