say what you will about the gi, but that dude would've smashed me six way from Sunday
with or without that piece...I was seriously impressed.

Just thought everyone needed to know.
lol
Black belt is well, a black belt. Alot of places have a day or two where they roll without a gi, and I have never met a single person good with it on who sucked with it off. For sure some guys are better with it/without it, but for the most part, if you are honestly good at grappling, and a BB is, you are going to do well with it, or without it.
This is a true...my money would go on a blackbelt doing jiu jitsu in the gi for many years vs. someone blue or white doing no gi and less then a couple. Plus, most class schedules i've checked for bjj schools that offer the gi will have a day of no gi and even a judo day. So there's evolution going on. no gi is great for mma but you gotta consider too using someones jacket or clothing to your advantage in a street brawl, even most of the time they take it off before the fight starts ;-/
I started bjj under Rodrigo Vaghi, a Rickson black belt in St. Louis. He is a bad mo fo! and a great guy
Try rolling in street clothes(I have),it is not a gi!
I think an experienced (10 years plus) grappler in any discipline is a beast to roll with.
