Should Gi and No Gi Rank be Separate in BJJ?

Gary Berger — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 20:21:23 +0000

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.

JitsCast #11 – Brandon McCaghren

Gary Berger — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:04:49 +0000

Brandon McCaghren is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt and the founder of the Professional Grappling Federation. The PGF has gone from strength to strength over the last few years and has evolved into one of the biggest grappling promotions in the world. They now host 3 seasons every year with a total prize pool of $100,000 every single time.

Jits Magazine spoke to Brandon briefly about his personal Jiu-Jitsu journey and what it was like to train under Eddie Bravo from such a long distance away, but most of our conversation was centered on PGF. Brandon shared how he came up with the idea of a Jiu-Jitsu league and why he constantly pushes to improve the format. He also shared exciting and exclusive news about the upcoming PGF World Season 8, along with some crazy plans for the 9th and 10th seasons that will take place later in 2025.
