Experience the Evolution of Grappling at FightCraft San Jose

No Gi Jiu Jitsu strips away the traditional uniform and puts the focus squarely on speed, athleticism, and technique. At FightCraft San Jose, our No Gi program develops a modern grappling game built on body control, wrestling transitions, and submission chains. Without the grips of a traditional gi, you'll develop a faster, more fluid approach to ground fighting.

Whether you're a gi practitioner looking to round out your game, an MMA fighter sharpening your ground skills, or completely new to grappling, our No Gi classes meet you where you are. The pace is higher, the scrambles are real, and the skills transfer directly to self-defense and competition.

I've been coming to FightCraft for a few months now and it's been great! I was looking for Muay Thai/Kickboxing classes that weren't purely just a cardio workout and this was a perfect match! The coaches are fantastic and the community of people is great.

This place is awesome! The environment is very laid back and the people are great. I had no prior striking experience before my first class but that was no problem at all. Coach Josh broke everything down so it was easy for me to pick up on things quickly!

Been going here for about 3 months and I love this place. I went in as someone with no fighting experience and was intimidated of a MMA gym but the coaches do a very good job of making it easy to hop on the mat and start learning.
