Judo NoGi Beginners

Join a beginner-friendly NoGi Judo session at Granite Gym led by Coach David the OxHerder. This class is tailored for newcomers and those training for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or mixed martial arts, with a clear emphasis on making techniques practical and easy to apply in grappling and competition. Expect an energetic, supportive atmosphere that helps you build confidence, fitness and tactical awareness on the mats.

Sessions focus on blending traditional Judo throws with NoGi grips and transitions that work in real-world rolling and sparring. You will practise structured drills that reinforce timing, balance and control, plus partner work that highlights efficiency and leverage rather than brute strength. Coach David’s instruction covers strategy, movement and safe ukemi so you can learn quickly and progress with reduced risk of injury. Whether your goal is to improve conditioning, add high-percentage throws to your BJJ game or simply try something new, this class offers practical, repeatable skills and a clear training progression. Book your spot at Granite Gym to start building technique, timing and mat awareness in a focused, friendly session.
