Judo NoGi Beginners

Join Judo NoGi Beginners at Granite Gym on 4 March 2026 at 7:00 pm for a practical, hands-on session taught by Coach David the OxHerder. This class focuses on adapting traditional Judo techniques for NoGi and for use in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts. It is designed for complete beginners and for those who train BJJ or MMA and want to add efficient throwing and grip strategies to their toolkit.

Expect a programme that emphasises maximum efficiency with minimum effort. Sessions blend Judo throws with NoGi grips, sensible partner drills and straightforward progressions that build real-world application. The coaching concentrates on strategy, timing and movement so you learn how and when to apply each technique rather than only rehearsing isolated moves.

Coach David brings an experienced, practical style to the mat, guiding students through safe progressions and offering individual feedback to help you master new moves and push past your limits. Classes are paced for beginners while still offering depth for those with prior grappling experience.

This is a great way to improve your fitness, confidence and mat awareness while learning transferable skills for grappling sports. All abilities are welcome, just bring comfortable training kit and a willingness to learn.
