The orange “Academy” labels in the timetable show the five sessions included with the £65 plan.
GI AND NO-GI BJJ CLASSES
NGMA offers both Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes throughout the week. Gi training develops grips, control and traditional BJJ technique, while No-Gi focuses on movement, wrestling, positional control and submissions without the jacket.
You do not have to choose just one. Many members train in both styles, and complete beginners are welcome to start with whichever session fits their schedule. Our programme supports casual members, MMA athletes and competitors within the same friendly grappling community.
