Shorts and a rashguard. No collars, no sleeves, faster scrambles. Legion runs no-gi on the schedule every morning and evening, plus kids classes and Saturday games.
Same art, different grips. No-gi is jiu-jitsu trained in a rashguard and shorts, so nobody can grab cloth. It is the format used in submission grappling, and the format closest to MMA and self-defense.
Train both and your game gets bigger. Plenty of Legion members hit gi classes and no-gi classes in the same week.
Start with the 5-Week Beginner Course, then add no-gi. Every no-gi class on the schedule is an all levels class, so you are never in the wrong room.
If you already wrestle or train striking, no-gi is the fastest bridge into jiu-jitsu. Your takedowns and scrambles carry straight over.
Blue belt and up who want leg entanglements, body locks and a faster pace to sit alongside the gi curriculum.
Kids get their own all levels no-gi class twice a week, taught by Rafaela Guedes. Same coaching standard, built for the age group.
You do not have to build your week around one class. No-gi is on the mats before work, at lunch time, after work and on Saturday.

Sunday closes the week with the Legion Open Mat, a free two and a half hour session with a mix of gi and no-gi rounds. Times can change, so always check the full schedule before you drive over.
Sloan teaches the All Levels No-Gi Morning class Monday through Friday. Five days a week, he is the coach our no-gi players see more than anyone.
He is a no-gi specialist first. Wrestling, MMA and submission grappling, taught by someone still competing in all of it.
Thirty minutes, one on one. We walk you through the room, the schedule and where you fit.
No uniform to buy for no-gi. Shorts without pockets or zips, a rashguard or a fitted shirt, a mouthguard if you have one.
Brand new? Start with the 5-Week Beginner Course, then work the No-Gi Fundamentals curriculum so every class builds on the last one.
No. Every adult no-gi class on our schedule is an all levels class. If you have never trained before, book a free orientation and we will point you at the right first class.
Shorts without pockets, zips or buttons, and a rashguard or fitted athletic shirt. Nothing to buy up front and nothing to grab on the mat. A mouthguard is a good idea.
Either works. The 5-Week Beginner Course runs in the gi and gives you the base positions fastest. If you come from wrestling or MMA, no-gi will feel more familiar from day one. Most Legion members end up doing both.
It depends on the slot. The morning and evening all levels classes run 90 minutes. The late evening No-Gi All Levels class and the Saturday games class run 60 minutes.
Yes. Kids All Levels No-Gi runs Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00pm to 5:00pm with Rafaela Guedes, inside our kids program for ages 4 to 14.
Pricing at Legion depends on things like experience level, membership length and training frequency, so we go over it in detail in the free orientation. There is more on the membership pricing page.
