What you will learn
Gi Jiu-Jitsu gives you a technical framework for controlling distance, creating angles and working with the jacket and trousers. Classes link standing skills to guard, passing, control and submissions.
You can join whether you are new to grappling or already train elsewhere. Our coaches emphasise understanding and pressure testing so techniques hold up with a resisting partner.
Connected positions
Move from takedown and guard work to passing, control and submission.
Technical progress
Improve through deliberate practice with partners at different levels.
Make your grips lead somewhere
In the Gi, a useful grip changes your partner’s posture or limits a movement. We connect that control to the next decision: breaking balance while standing, creating an angle from guard or removing a frame while passing. A grip has a purpose within the position.
Coached practice gives you time to work through a sequence before testing it against resistance. Bring questions about positions you meet in training, and ask the coach how to connect your standing work, guard, passing and submissions. You can complement this with No-Gi or JitzJudo sessions.
Get to know the Origin coaching team, compare Gi and No-Gi training or prepare with our first BJJ class guide.

Common questions
Is Gi BJJ suitable for beginners?
Yes. We can help you choose a beginner-friendly class and explain the basic positions as you go.
How is Gi different from No-Gi?
The Gi allows grips on the jacket and trousers, which changes control, pace and submission options. Many students enjoy training both.
