BulletMagnet said:I much prefer no Gi, most street fights dont have people wearing anything close to a Gi more times then not but you still need to know some of the Gi related chokes etc.
I would argue the complete opposite. How many times do you go out wearing no shirt/rashgaurd and a speedo?
Most fights I've
However, Pedro Sauer explained to us at a seminar that the reason it is so valuable in training is for your defense. The extra friction and places for your opponent to hold and grip forces you to use perfect technique, where no-Gi allows you to be sloppy with that technique because you're slipping and sliding out of things that normally you'd be caught in.
I like No-Gi for practicing stuff from guard. If you can sweep/submit someone from guard without a sleeve/collar to grip onto, chances are you can do it pretty easily when you've got those kind of things to grab.
