Do I need prior martial arts experience or peak fitness to start?

What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi BJJ classes?

Gi BJJ is trained in a traditional heavy cotton uniform that allows grips on collars and sleeves for control and submissions. No-Gi BJJ is practiced in a rashguard and shorts, relying on anatomical control holds and moving at a faster overall pace.
