I LOVE Gi I think it is the best way to learn BJJ. Learning and rolling with a Gi is like playing Chess. You have so many different moves and set-ups. It helps in all aspects of the ground game. Nogi is checkers not as hard!!
NoGi for the past 6 months or so I have not had a Gi and we have been doing straigh nogi. I think my fighters don't get as much Tech. this way. They fight putting the Gi on and it is very frustrating to me. Soon we are going to make them so we can get them competing what do you all think?
I vote gi for every one.........................................except me JK

It's a common thread that we share with everyone who does jiu jitsu anywhere in the world. And that commonality transcends geography, economics, politics, ethnicity, religion, and gender."
I think over the past 5 years or so of my training I have spent equal time doing both. My experience has been that people who have done gi BJJ exclusively adapt faster to no-gi training than do people who have been doing only no-gi to doing gi training.
Just the pure number of chokes that you never have to learn to defend against without a gi on makes it easier, ya know?

agreed. although with out gi you have to find other methods of staying conected, and it is much slippery.

I prefer the GI. At this point I am still new and go to both classes but I like the gi much better. I think its important to know both from SD standpoint. If I had to choose one to focus on, it would be GI.
I have a gameness that I got for around $75 online and I do plan to get a HCK at some point this year.

Thats all I was saying. And stuff like choking them out with their gi, well you cant choke someone out with their T-shirt. I didnt mean they werent capable of adapting at all.
In our submission classes they are always after cardio and normal classes so no one ever wears their gi (especially not during the summer). I personally wear Under Armor or some other long sleeve shirt I got.

Even the best of men are capable of the most disgusting evil. Just as the most evil man is capable of showing kindness.
Do not be fooled into thinking your enemy's sin is worse than yours, or that your's is better than his.
What colour gis are accepted in BJJ? Depends on schools?
