Modern No-Gi Grappling, Built on Clear Systems

Every class at THEØRY is built on the same foundation: concept-first, safety-conscious, and designed for real progress. Jiu-Jitsu, leg locks, and wrestling aren’t separate silos — they’re parts of one connected game.

Jiu-Jitsu

Concept-based no-gi that builds a complete ground game, step by step.

Core No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu

Foundations & Ongoing Curriculum

Our Jiu-Jitsu program is where most people start. We focus on frames, wedges, levers, base, and alignment across all positions — guard, passing, pins, and escapes.

Instead of memorizing endless techniques, you’ll learn how the pieces fit together so you can adapt under pressure. Classes combine technical explanation, positional training, and live rounds with clear intent.

  • Beginner-friendly on-ramp for new students.
  • Consistent language and concepts through all levels.
  • Flexible enough for hobbyists and competitors.
Best starting point for most people

Leg Locks

Modern lower body attacks, taught with strict safety and clear standards.

Leg Lock Lab

Safety-First • Systems-Based

Leg locks are a powerful part of modern no-gi — but only when trained correctly. Our Leg Lock Lab is built around control, predictable decision trees, and mutual trust.

We focus on entries, positioning, and breaking mechanics in a way that protects knees and spines. You’ll know exactly when something is “on,” when to tap, and how to apply pressure responsibly.

  • Clear rules about when and how to train different leg lock families.
  • Emphasis on control before submission — no surprise cranks.
  • Shared language so everyone in the room knows the expectations.
Leg locks with safety and clarity, not chaos

Wrestling Integration

Stand-up built for Jiu-Jitsu — not for getting wrecked on your first shot.

Wrestling for No-Gi

Stand-Up • Entries • Takedown Safety

Our wrestling sessions are led with high-level experience and tailored to Jiu-Jitsu reality. That means focusing on posture, balance, hand-fighting, and entries that work with the guard and leg lock game — not against it.

We care about you being able to stand, move, and enter safely. You won’t be thrown into reckless doubles or forced into intensity you’re not ready for.

  • Hand-fighting, stance, and footwork for grapplers.
  • Safe takedown entries and finishes with controlled impact.
  • Transitions into pins, back takes, and leg entanglements.
Build confidence on the feet, without sacrificing longevity

How It All Fits Together

Jiu-Jitsu, leg locks, and wrestling at THEØRY aren’t separate hobbies — they’re layers of one game. As you train, you’ll start to see how the same concepts show up everywhere: on the feet, in guard, and in finishing positions.

  • Jiu-Jitsu builds your core structure, defense, and control.
  • Leg locks add a modern, powerful layer of offense and awareness.
  • Wrestling lets you decide how and where engagements begin.

You don’t have to “do everything at once.” We’ll help you start where you are and build outward in a way that makes sense for your goals.
