No-Gi grappling · Origin MK BJJ
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu in Milton Keynes
A fast, technical game built on movement, positioning and clear decisions under pressure.
On the mats
What you will learn
No-Gi training removes jacket and trouser grips. You learn to control with frames, underhooks, head position, pressure and timing. Sessions connect takedowns, guard work, passing, scrambles and submissions.
Ricki’s Thursday class focuses on a modern, adaptable No-Gi game. Beginners can start with Tuesday fundamentals and build confidence before joining more open rounds.
Chain techniques
Connect one attack to the reaction it creates, then choose the next option.
Train across levels
Practise with partners who help you solve problems, not just collect moves.
Keep control through the transition
Without a jacket to hold, controlling the line of the hips and shoulders becomes central. No-Gi sessions explore how body position, hooks, frames and pressure let you maintain an advantage while your partner moves. Speed alone is not a substitute for understanding the position.
Ricki links entries, passing, submissions and scrambles into a connected game. Beginners build the base for that work in fundamentals sessions. Tell us what you have trained before and we can suggest a route from introductory drills to more open practice.
