Art of Jiu Jitsu captured the American National Kids No-Gi title with 13 golds, outpacing Carlson Gracie Team (10), Gracie Barra (7), and Alliance (6) at the 2024 edition. Atos Jiu-Jitsu (5) and Zenith BJJ (4) completed the top tier in an 86-gold event that tested the country's best youth no-gi competitors.
AOJ's no-gi dominance complemented their gi strength, proving their training methodology produces well-rounded competitors under both rulesets. Carlson Gracie Team's 10 golds were a statement performance that placed them firmly in the national conversation for youth program quality.
American Nationals No-Gi offers a distinct competitive challenge from the gi version, and the 86-gold count — while smaller — draws an increasingly specialized field as no-gi competition continues its growth trajectory in American youth jiu-jitsu.
