Why Choose NOGI BJJ?

Introduction to NOGI BJJ and Its Benefits

NOGI Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or NOGI BJJ, is a dynamic and practical martial art that's gaining popularity worldwide. At The Jiu Jitsu Lounge, we're passionate about sharing the numerous benefits of this incredible discipline with our community in Ridgewood, NY.

NOGI BJJ differs from traditional BJJ in that practitioners don't wear the traditional gi (uniform). This creates a unique training environment that closely mimics real-life situations, making it an excellent choice for those interested in practical self-defense and competitive grappling.
