so in you honest opinion what do think would be best for real world situations?

I personally prefer no-gi, but by just a little bit.


It's my personal preference that I don't want to have to worry about becoming dependent on sleeve, and pant leg grips in the event that I get into a self-defense situation with someone who isn't wearing a durable long-sleeve shirt or pair of pants.


But it's a relatively small point, and it's just my personal preference. You are not going to be severely handicapped by either style, especially if you just want it for real-world application.


The truth is that both styles are beneficial, and force you to think about the game in different ways. Gi helped me think about the fundamentals more, posture, control, breaking balance. No-gi helped me to think about the anatomy, how certain grips work, which parts of the body are stronger and easier/harder to influence.


You can't go wrong with either one. Most schools teach both anyway, and I would recommend a little of both. If you can only take one style, just pick based on preference. Some people say it's harder to start gi after doing no-gi for a long time, others say it's the other way around. The truth is that it's different for everyone.

Ha, don't kid yourself. Dork can stretch that out to a month and a half, easy.



He's known for that kind of thing.

Bumped so people don't forget about it...

I'll be taping some of my training on Tuesday, and get it up ASAP.

[kaiz77]

Here are the vids from this week of some of the matches during training...
I have the blond hair.......sorry if its annoying that there are so many.....in the future itll be like 4 vids (with substantial meaning) a week...ranging from 1 min to 4 mins. long....

Keep in mind that Im self taught!! so help me out......I have 4 months of exp. to my training partners 2........so I do tend to be a little more reckless then I usually would in competition....


Armbar to omoplata finish

triangles....leglocks (we dont crank Heelhooks just know they're there)..

inverted armbar...(could have finished easily)

Marcelo PASS!!!

Funny one....omoplata.....Im always scared to hurt a training partner...so a funny conversation ensues after what I thought was a deep omoplata (he was gripping the front of his shorts making it unable to torque his shoulder) .....I let him out....brabo finish...

[kaiz77]

Marcelo pass...inverted guard to back control...armbar finish...as I punch myself in the face...

marcelo pass (can you tell I like it?)...mounted with arm pinned still...awkward...give up my back .....escape

triangle escape, experimenting with anaconda grip, RNC finish..
