No-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a form of BJJ where students wear rash guards and shorts instead of the traditional gi uniform . The lack of a gi means that practitioners cannot rely on the gi's fabric to control their opponent, and must instead rely on other methods such as underhooks, overhooks, and wrist control.
No-gi BJJ has become increasingly popular in recent years, with some practitioners even choosing to specialize in it.
In terms of competition, no-gi BJJ has its own set of rules and techniques that differ from gi BJJ. For example, heel hooks are allowed in no-gi brown and black belt competitions, but not in gi competitions.
