What Is No‑Gi Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu?
No‑Gi BJJ is a grappling style that teaches you to control and submit opponents using leverage and technique—without traditional uniforms or striking.

Testimonials
"If I could give 10 stars, I would. I can’t speak highly enough of the encouragement and positive attitude of the staff, coaches and fellow members of the gym.
Initially our wee ones started the kids classes and it wasn’t long before I was wanting to join in on the action. However, I was a hesitant beginner, being acutely aware of my current levels of fitness and nervous to try something new. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everyone has been so welcoming and encouraging. The ethos of the gym has motivated me to carry on and I genuinely really look forward to every single class now.
"A post appeared on my FB timeline about rivals gym Wishaw. I live local so I decided to give it a go. I called and spoke to Scott and explained my situation (I was struggling with anxiety and depression). Scott's exact words to me were " It'll be the best thing you've ever done", and man, was he right! I've only been going for a few months but I absolutely love it! Don't get me wrong, it was hard at first, but my fitness and mental health have improved immensely since I started and I'm now going three times a week.
The instructors are fantastic and all the guys there are friendly and helpful. There are no ego's here so you never feel inferior. If you think you're too old, you're not! I'm 52yrs old. If you're thinking of it, why not try a free class. You have nothing to lose but, like me, a LOT to gain!"
Over the years, I have trained at a variety of gyms but none can compare to being at my rivals. The coaching is at another level with everyone dedicated to helping each other improve without any egos getting in the way. It's a great atmosphere and I highly recommend it if you're looking for more than just a gym experience. 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
I can’t express my gratitude for the way that the staff engage with our little ones. They have grown in confidence, fitness, and have found a love for a new sport. Brilliant team - thanks for all you do!"
