Cool patches!
My two cents on Gi VS. No Gi training. Let’s just start by saying anyone who knows me, will know right away where I stand on this much debated hot topic. Coming from a strict traditional karate back ground, most know I am pro Gi all the way. That’s being said, I recommend training both styles of grappling to be well rounded. In my opinion the Gi will make you more well versed on escaping properly when stuck in a bad position. No Gi should work just about the same as far as a proper escape route.
Both are equally as fun in my opinion, so I truly feel that it is good to do both at some point in your training. Also for self-defense it is good to get used to grabbing material is far as Gi is concerned and to get used to not being able to control somebody with a collar or a sleeve.
With a Gi on there are more tricks and submissions to be aware of, versus the No-Gi application of grappling. No Gi is typically a faster pace match but with less opportunity of techniques to finalize an opponent with. I am often asked this question if training in a gi or no gi is better, and I always say don’t fear the gi hommie. See you on the mats!
