Do I need experience to try BJJ?

No experience needed. BJJ is one of the most beginner-friendly martial arts. Our coaches adapt every session to your level, making sure you progress safely and confidently, whether it's your first class ever or your first in Ao Nang.

What's the difference between gi and no-gi BJJ?

Gi uses a traditional kimono with grips on the uniform. No-gi is done in shorts and a rash guard, closer to MMA grappling. We offer only no-gi sessions at Over The Top — ideal for MMA fighters and travelers looking for practical grappling skills.

Can I do just one BJJ class?

Yes, drop-in sessions are welcome. Book a single class or a multi-session pass through our booking page. There's no contract and no long-term commitment required — perfect for travelers and holidaymakers in Krabi.

Is BJJ good for self-defense?

Absolutely. BJJ is considered one of the most effective self-defense arts because it teaches you to control and submit an opponent regardless of size or strength. Many law enforcement agencies and MMA coaches worldwide recommend BJJ as a foundational self-defense skill.

Do you offer private BJJ sessions?

Yes. Private one-on-one sessions are available with our head BJJ coach. Ideal for accelerated learning, competition preparation, or anyone who wants personalized attention and a custom training plan.

Is BJJ training in Krabi safe for beginners?

Yes, safety is our top priority. Beginner BJJ students train in a controlled, positional environment focused on technique and understanding movement before any live rolling. Our experienced coaches ensure everyone learns at their own pace.

What should I wear to a BJJ class?

Since we train no-gi only, just bring shorts (no zippers or pockets ideally) and a rash guard or fitted t-shirt. If you don't have gear, we can advise on what to grab locally in Ao Nang or Krabi Town.

What You'll Learn

Core BJJ Techniques

Guard Passing & Sweeps

Learn to break through your opponent's guard and sweep them to advantageous positions. Our coaches in Ao Nang teach structured passing systems from standing and from the knees, applicable to both competition and MMA grappling.

Submissions & Finishes

Master armbars, triangles, rear naked chokes, guillotines, leg locks and more. You'll learn to recognize and create submission opportunities from every position — safely and progressively.

Takedowns & Luta Livre

Develop explosive single-leg and double-leg takedowns, body locks, and trips to bring the fight to the ground. Our Luta Livre-based grappling curriculum integrates seamlessly with your no-gi BJJ game.

Positional Control & Escapes

Control from mount, back, side control, and turtle. Equally important: learn how to escape bad positions under pressure. Positional awareness is the foundation of a solid BJJ game at any level.
