[serious] What type of knowledge do you think training in the gi gives a grappler?
Not here for the old gi vs nogi thing. I train both ways. I'm curious, though, if the nogi exclusive folk see value (even if minimal) in training in a gi.
My personal take is that in gi schools like mine, it should be 50/50 between the two forms, but most schools do a 80 gi/20 nogi split. I think this is a disservice. To be clear, I'm NOT here to advocate for the inclusion of gi at 10th Planet schools - I'm not that presumptuous. Besides, I just got here to even have an opinion on it. I'm just genuinely curious if anyone has had an "itch to don a gi" and for what reason (other than they look cool...).
Thanks in advance.
