I suspect that time pressure adds something to any game.

I think of the relationship between gi and no-gi sub grappling as being more like that of Karate and Muay Thai.

Actually, "karate" is too vague a term and encompasses too many things.

Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai is probably more the way I actually think of them.
