I can relate via reverse comparison a lil. When I finally put on a gi i was confused by my opponents grips. I still used over and unders and they still worked fine so I wasn't exactly lost though, but if I had to use grips It would def be strange.
haha i dont know what that means but you might be right!Quote:

Maybe the traditionalists will get off our back now for focusing on jiu jitsu without handles :)
That's exactly what I'm going through right now. Switched my training to 10th Planet Saint Paul this week, and it's definitely been interesting training without the gi. I like it a lot. Much faster paced, more transitions, and much more exciting IMO. It's definitely going to take some time to get used to training nogi, but I'm looking forward to it.Quote:

Thanks Eddie! Been a big fan for awhile, but after attending the seminar at NLC in Saint Paul I was really hooked in. My only regret is not switching sooner. Looking forward to seeing you again in Omaha.
Awesome quote man - I love seeing how these BJJ monsters adapt to nogi grappling and really excel. They're really like 2 different sports, yet guys like Leo Santos and Marcelo Garcia dominate both.
