Should Gi and No Gi Jiu-Jitsu Ranks Be Separated?

This is a question that I received from a viewer recently.

He recently saw a coach on the internet tying a belt around a student who didn’t seem to train in the Gi.

He questions this because of the various nuances and differences between the two similar but unique versions of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Thanks for watching.

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.

What’s up guys,

So, today our question comes from “Army Mike” who is having trouble finishing a Collar Choke from the back.

This is a pretty common problem for those of us who are a bit less experienced with the position, so if you’re struggling with the finish here are 4 powerful adjustments to help you finish more Collar Chokes from the back in Gi Jiu-Jitsu.

The 4 tips I show are the ones that I have found the most useful for me, and although they’re simple, they are also very effective.

Hopefully if you’re having a similar issue while training BJJ, then this video was useful to you.

This movement sequence has been a useful flow drill for Jiu-Jitsu to activate your hips through the bridge and hip escape sequence followed by a shoulder roll.

This sequence has been useful to warm up the hips and back and is a great technique to practice guard retention or with getting more comfortable with inverting.

Make sure to start slow and controlled with the movement. It is important to avoid rolling on your neck by tucking the chin and rolling over the shoulders and upper back.
