Adult No-Gi BJJ

Adult No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Indianapolis, IN

Our No-Gi classes are open to all members regardless of experience. Without the grips of the traditional Gi, you learn how to control an opponent through angles, pressure, and tight clinching mechanics. Every exchange becomes quicker and more tactical. The pace forces you to sharpen your timing, trust your technique, and react with confidence.

Whether you are stepping on the mats for the first time or have spent years training, No-Gi gives you a well rounded game that carries over into every style of grappling.

Who This Class Is For

The Adult No-Gi class is built for students 14 and up who want a complete, adaptable Jiu Jitsu skillset. It is a perfect fit for:

Beginners

People brand new to Jiu Jitsu who want a simple, structured introduction to No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu.

Gi-focused students

Athletes who want to round out their training, avoid plateaus, and improve their transitions.

Competitors

Students preparing for modern grappling tournaments who want experience with the fast pace of No-Gi matches.

MMA and self defense students

Anyone who needs grappling that works without relying on cloth grips.

Experienced No-Gi practitioners

Students who want sharper transitions, cleaner entries, and more refined detail work.

You do not need a certain level of strength, flexibility, or conditioning. If you want to learn, you belong on the mats.

What You Can Expect in Class

No-Gi has a fluid feel. Instead of grabbing sleeves or collars, you learn to rely on frames, underhooks, clamps, head control, and positional angles. This creates faster movement and forces you to develop real precision.

A typical class includes:

Modern Techniques

Modern Guards, Guard Passing systems, and Leg Locking positions.

Drilling Segments

Controlled repetitions to perfect what you’re learning.

Live Rounds

Training rounds that allow you to apply what you learned against varying levels of resistance.

The structure mirrors the All Levels classes but every technique is chosen specifically for the demands of No-Gi grappling.

Where You Will Train

Drew Champlin Sparring No-Gi

Champlin Jiu-Jitsu Academy
6935 Lake Plaza Dr Suite B7-B9
Indianapolis, IN 46220

The environment is:

  • Clean
  • Well spaced
  • Beginner friendly
  • Supervised by attentive coaches

Partners are matched by size, comfort level, and experience so every round is productive and safe.

When You Can Attend

No-Gi sessions are offered several times throughout the week. Check the online schedule for the most current days and times. Many students combine Gi and No-Gi training to stay well rounded. Others specialize and train primarily No-Gi. Both paths work and both help you grow.

Why This Class Matters

Training No-Gi teaches you how to rely on:

  • Position instead of grips
  • Movement instead of pulling
  • Timing instead of strength
  • Pressure instead of fabric control

This builds faster transitions, cleaner technique, and stronger instincts. Students who train both styles gain a complete understanding of grappling and are prepared for any setting.

No-Gi also helps:

  • Improve your cardio
  • Increase balance and agility
  • Build core strength
  • Boost coordination
  • Teach you to stay calm during scrambles

These improvements carry over into every other part of your Jiu Jitsu.
