At CDS, we specialise in teaching both No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and submission grappling, offering students the opportunity to develop versatile grappling skills for both sport and self-defence. No-Gi BJJ focuses on grappling techniques without the traditional kimono (gi), emphasizing speed, fluidity, and control through grips on the opponent’s body rather than relying on clothing. This modern adaptation of BJJ is widely practiced in competitive settings and is an excellent way to refine your positional strategy, submissions, and escapes in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
Submission grappling, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of techniques and styles, drawing from various martial arts like wrestling, judo, Shooto and sambo. It focuses on achieving and finishing submissions while effectively controlling opponents, making it a cornerstone of many mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions. This discipline trains practitioners to adapt to different rulesets and scenarios, emphasizing versatility and creativity in securing dominant positions and submissions. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced grappler, our academy provides a structured yet flexible curriculum tailored to help you build confidence, improve technique, and excel in these exciting grappling arts.
