Today, we have a question from Andy, who loves no gi BJJ and is wondering if training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Gi is necessary.

He says:

“I’ve been training for 6 months. I really like BJJ, I currently train both Gi and No-Gi. Doing each 3 times a week. But, as I keep training, I really like No-Gi. But the Gi Days are starting to feel like a chore. Is there a good reason to keep doing the Gi? Do I have to?”

According to him, his goals are MMA, Fighting, etc.

If he were to ask me this question 10 years ago, I would’ve given you a certain response. Things like “Yes, the gi makes your BJJ more technical” and so on.

But a lot has changed since then, and I’ll dive deep into that while trying to answer your question the best I can.

Thanks for watching. If one of you guys is having trouble with this, too, I hope you found this video helpful.

Today’s question comes from a Brown Belt in BJJ, named Aaron, who also comes from a Wrestling background, and apparently has injury plagued hands.

With that in mind, he says his favorite way to train BJJ is No-Gi.

Recently however, he decided that he wanted to pursue more Gi training, going up to his coach, letting him know about his injuries, and was looking for some grip fighting tips from his coach.

After the talk with his coach, Aaron says that his coach threw in a little dig. Saying:

“By the way, the Gi is more technical than No-Gi…”

Apparently, this led into a whole rant, and may have triggered Aaron a bit, who believes that both No-Gi and Gi are technical, just different.

He asks if I believe his instructor actually made a good point or not? and if I think that Gi is more technical than No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Here’s what I think…

In this video, I show some of my training session and how I train with one arm.

It has been a learning experience from knowing which positions I should try to implement and what to avoid during a training session.

It has been humbling but a great learning experience in developing my guard retention, mobility, and importance of control and position.

Thanks to my coach, Chewy, for getting some movement in with me during the roll and taking the time to teach and give me some advice during training!

Switching to no gi grappling can be difficult. Here are 5 steps that will make it easier… 1) Accept that No Gi is an inherently faster style of grappling and be prepared to push the pace harder at times, 2) Change your grips so that they aren’t gi dependent, 3) Get rid of your gi dependent guards and start developing guards that work in no gi, 4) Learn how to take the back, maintain the back and submit from the back because it’s the best position in no gi grappling, 5) Develop your leglock and guillotine choke submissions because those are much more prevalent in no gi than in gi.

If you would like some more help developing your gi and no gi games then here are a couple of FREE resources for you…
