Brazilain Ju Jitsu Go or No Gi? - 01/28/07 10:53 PM
Hello all,
I know this topic has been brought up before but I have a new question.
Many American MMA trainers say No Gi training is better for self-defense because it eliminates the use of clothing and forces you to apply technique to a sweaty slippery opponent.
On the other hand those with deep Brazilian Ju Jitsu knowledge including the Gracie family themselves say that Gi training is more benefitial over No Gi training.
What are your thoughts?
