Episode notes
In this episode of Social BJJ, Dave dives into the age-old debate of No Gi vs. Gi Jiu-Jitsu. As a self-proclaimed "No Gi boy," Dave shares his personal preference for No Gi and breaks down the pros and cons of each style.
From faster pace and technical precision in No Gi to the traditional control and techniques of Gi training, Dave explores:
- Why he finds No Gi more technical and applicable in real-world scenarios.
- How grips, movement, and leg locks play a role in both styles.
- Personal experiences with finger injuries from Gi grips.
- The influence of Eddie Bravo and 10th Planet gyms on the No Gi revolution.
Whether you're team Gi, team No Gi, or somewhere in between, Dave invites listeners to share their thoughts and arguments in the comments.
