Develop fluid movement, speed, and adaptability in our No-Gi classes, where every session sharpens your technique and elevates your grappling skills.
At Mata BJJ, we offer a welcoming and supportive environment where students of all levels can grow their grappling skills and confidence.

Our No-Gi classes deliver fast-paced, dynamic training designed to improve your movement, transitions, and submission skills without relying on traditional Gi grips. Each session emphasises body control, timing, and technique, giving you a more fluid style of grappling that transfers directly into MMA, submission wrestling, and real-life self-defence. With José’s hands-on coaching, you’ll build confidence, refine your technique, and develop a well-rounded grappling game.

We will offer a program outline at Mata BJJ that is organised into four stages. This outline aims to develop and guide students through a progressive learning process in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each stage includes essential concepts, specific techniques, and recommended drills to reinforce the learning experience.
Focus on Stage 1 techniques and drills.
Introduce Stage 2 concepts and integrate with Stage 1.
Emphasise Stage 3, combining with previous Stages.
Concentrate on Stage 4, ensuring integration of all stages.
Note: At Mata BJJ, we adjust the duration of each stage based on student progress and comprehension. We also regularly incorporate review sessions to reinforce previous lessons.
