Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Training both styles helps students develop a well-rounded understanding of BJJ.

Nick Shepperd
'Following several years away from BJJ, I made the decision to join Kong and after my very first session, I was glad I did. Everyone at the club was instantly welcoming and made me feel like part of the team. Both Angelo and Pete have an incredible wealth of knowledge and are always friendly and patient.
I'd recommend Kong to anyone looking to start learning BJJ."

What should I bring to my first BJJ class?
For your first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, you can wear comfortable gym clothing such as a t-shirt and shorts or leggings. If you are trying a gi class, we can lend you a gi for your trial session so you don’t need to buy any equipment straight away. Just bring a water bottle and be ready to learn something new.
What is the difference between gi and no-gi BJJ?
Gi BJJ involves wearing a traditional uniform and focuses on grips and control, while no-gi BJJ is faster paced and does not use the uniform. Both styles develop important skills and are often trained together.

Do women train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Yes, many women train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Kong Martial Arts in Bracknell. BJJ is particularly well suited to all body types because it focuses on technique, leverage and control rather than strength.
