Today we’ve got a question from Edgar, who asked me “Which option is better for real self-defense cases, Gi or No Gi BJJ?”

While reading the comments, many people swayed hard to one side or the other.

The Gi people said their version of BJJ was the best, while the No Gi Jiu-Jitsu players said their side was more practical.

One team says you’ll never fight naked people, and the other says you can’t rely on the grips of the Gi in real life.

There’s a ton of dogma around it and I’ll illustrate to you guys what I think about this with a particular hypothetical situation.

Hopefully, you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

The post Is Gi or No Gi BJJ Best for Self Defense? appeared first on jitseasy.

The debate between ‘sport’ and ‘self defense’ BJJ has been overblown because good jiu-jitsu is always better than bad jiu-jitsu. If your focus is on self defense then find the best BJJ school you can and, if necessary, supplement that training with a little bit of boxing, kickboxing or MMA training to become comfortable in the striking zone rather than going to a lesser school that claims to teach special ‘self defense’ BJJ techniques. The magic is all in the training against resistance and dealing with pressure, and it is much easier to adjust technique on the fly than it is to suddenly develop the capacity to deal with someone who is using all their strength, energy and willpower to crush you!
