Penang Kids No-Gi BJJ Summit

No-Gi BJJ is a variation of the traditional combat sport in which fighters do not wear the traditional Gi. In standard BJJ, participants wear a Gi, a garment similar to the judogi uniform worn in Judo, which includes a jacket, pants, and a belt. Gripping the gi is an integral part of the game in BJJ, as fighters use the fabric to gain control and apply chokes and submissions. 

Fighters that practice no-Gi BJJ wear shorts and rash guards (or t-shirts) instead of traditional garb. By eliminating the option of using cloth grips, the dynamic of fights completely changes. This variation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tends to be faster-paced and places greater emphasis on positional control, speed, and transitions. 

Pricing starts from RM60 for Early Bird (19 Aug - 1 Sept). For more information, visit Penang Kid's No-Gi Submit 2025 - Smoothcomp
