About Gi x NoGi x Whiskey
For those ladies and gentlemen who appreciate the finer things in life. For those of us who take both our Jiu Jitsu and whiskey from the top shelf. For the ones that can appreciate the heat of a bourbon and a dust up on the mat… This experience is for you! 

The premise is an hour and half session led by a high level Gi expert, an hour and a half session led by a No Gi expert, as well as 30 minute rolling sessions in both Gi and No GI, to be followed by a whiskey tasting as well as catering. The experience is intended to capture the comradery shared after a hard training session by enhancing the moment with premium spirits and a meal, amongst like-minded individuals.

We have brought in two of the very best Jiu Jitsu practitioners to upgrade your Jiu Jitsu skills, regardless of your experience level, and have put together an amazing whiskey lineup to create the ultimate tasting experience.
