No-Gi Jiu-Jitsufor Selma

No-Gi strips Jiu-Jitsu down to its rawest form — no grips, no lapels, just technique, timing, and pressure. Great for kids who want a faster-paced session and anyone preparing for competition or cross-training from wrestling.

Selma residents who wrestle, train MMA, or just prefer the faster pace of submission grappling without a kimono have a no-gi-friendly schedule at Gracie Barra Cibolo. Professor Edgar integrates no-gi rounds into the Adults & Teens evening block — same techniques, stripped of the gi grips, focused on wrestling control, body locks, and modern leg-attack systems. Twelve minutes north on FM 1103 from Selma puts you on the mats. Whether you're cross-training from a Veterans Memorial wrestling background or chasing a NAGA tournament prep cycle, the no-gi work fits cleanly into the regular adult schedule. First class free.

Why TrainNo-Gi?

01

Wrestling-friendly entry point — natural fit for high school and rec wrestlers who want to add submissions to their game

02

Faster pace and scramble-heavy rounds that sharpen reflexes, hip mobility, and the ability to react under pressure

03

Direct carryover to real-world self-defense — attackers don't wear lapels, and street clothing rarely behaves like a gi

04

Exposes gaps in your gi game by removing grip-dependent shortcuts and forcing cleaner positional fundamentals on every exchange

05

Competition preparation for no-gi tournaments, submission grappling events, and MMA-rule-set rounds where the kimono isn't there

06

Same Gracie Barra curriculum and belt progression as the gi program — your rank counts the same either way

Frequently AskedQuestions

What is no-gi Jiu-Jitsu and how is it different from gi training?
In no-gi Jiu-Jitsu, you train without the traditional kimono. Instead of gripping collars and sleeves, you use underhooks, overhooks, and body locks to control your opponent. The pace is typically faster, transitions happen more quickly, and techniques rely on body positioning rather than fabric. At Gracie Barra Cibolo, no-gi sessions complement the gi curriculum by exposing different aspects of grappling and building a more complete skill set.
When are no-gi classes at Gracie Barra Cibolo?
Gracie Barra Cibolo offers adult and kids no-gi classes on multiple days throughout the week. Check our schedule page or call (830) 205-3222 for the most current class times and days.
Where can Selma residents take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes?
Selma has no dedicated BJJ academy, so most residents drive to Schertz, Universal City, or San Antonio. Gracie Barra Cibolo is 12 minutes north — take FM 1103 from The Forum at Olympia Parkway and you'll reach 2251 FM 1103 Suite 106 in Cibolo Valley Square. Families from Crossing at Retama Center, Lookout Canyon Creek, and The Summit at Retama Park train with us because there's no closer black-belt-led program. We have free parking, classes six days a week, and your first class is free — no contract required.
Are there self-defense classes near Selma, TX?
Yes. Gracie Barra Cibolo offers BJJ-based self-defense — private lessons, small groups, and women-only sessions — 12 minutes from Selma via FM 1103. Our self-defense program is grounded in real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not one-time seminar choreography. That matters for residents commuting through the I-35 / Loop 1604 interchange or working late shifts at the retail corridor near The Forum. Professor Edgar has 15 years on the mat under Master 'Tussa' Alencar and teaches every session himself. Call (830) 205-3222 to set up a private intro — first class is free.
