Rival Jiu‑Jitsu in Springfield, OH
Ages 15 & Up
Step onto the mats and experience the fast‑paced world of No‑Gi Grappling — where technique, timing, and body control take center stage without the use of a traditional uniform. Closely related to Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu, no‑gi training emphasizes realistic movement, grip control, and fluid transitions, making it an exciting and highly practical form of modern grappling.
From your very first class, you’ll learn the core foundations of no‑gi grappling, including positional control, escapes, sweeps, and submissions adapted specifically for situations where you can’t rely on clothing for grips or control. Our structured curriculum ensures that beginners build strong fundamentals while experienced students refine their speed, awareness, and ability to react in fast‑changing situations.
Training without the gi creates a more dynamic pace and challenges students to rely on leverage, pressure, and technique alone. The result is an intense full‑body workout that sharpens reflexes, improves conditioning, and develops real‑world grappling skills that translate well to self‑defense and competition alike.
Join a supportive community of teammates who push each other to improve in a focused, ego‑free environment. Build resilience, improve athletic performance, and expand your grappling knowledge through the exciting and evolving art of No‑Gi Grappling.
Self‑defense is a skill you would be led to believe is universal in all martial arts. The simple definition of martial arts means "military arts", teaching a person how to defend one’s self, family, and country. The unfortunate reality is that many martial arts schools do not teach realistic self‑defense for the twenty‑first century. Everything we teach at our school is reality‑based. Our instructors work extremely hard to ensure that almost any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions. The training you will receive at Rival Jiu‑Jitsu will prepare you to defend yourself confidently and effectively in all manner of real‑life scenarios.

Great experience!! I attended the Saturday No gi class as a walk in. Very reasonable walk-in class price. Friendly and inviting atmosphere. Justin did a great job instructing the class. I will definitely be back!

I have no Jiu‑Jitsu history and I’ve recently started the No Gi class here. I’ve learned so much in the couple of months I’ve been attending. Great teachers and a great group of men and women that attend!
