No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Newcastle
At Ronin Newcastle, our primary focus is No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling.
No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is practised in a rash guard and shorts rather than the traditional Gi. Training focuses on positional control, takedowns, guard passing, escapes, submissions and live grappling.
Our classes combine technical instruction, structured drilling, positional sparring and live rounds so students can develop practical skills against resisting training partners.
You do not need any previous martial arts or grappling experience to start.
