I threw my Krav Maga shirt at him after I tapped him because he was making fun of it...I'll throw my Gi top at you if I can catch you of course. You Omaha guys are friggin tough! Derek has you guys on Jiu Jitsu steroids out there!!!

Krav Maga?

Maybe I just live in the hickest part of hicksville, but the first thing people do before a fight is throw their shirt off.

both Ryron & Rener are excellent humans...i've known both for around 12 years...great teachers, super nice guys with a wealth of jiu-jitsu knowledge...

In NAGA this weekend my opponent used my t-shirt as a GI about 20 times, the ref didn't have a problem with it and it sempt pretty effective for controlling me :p

The topic of this discussion in the end is Gi vs NoGi like we've all seen a million times over in any forum and discussion, just in one of many formats.

I started out a Gi guy, still train Gi, but also thoroughly enjoy NoGi as a style (10th Planet) because it's completely different (to me) than BJJ NoGi. The issue is that there will always be folks that claim Gi is better and those that claim NoGi is better...then you have folks like me that could care less and simply enjoy Jiu Jitsu no matter the apparel you train in.

Each has their benefits and disadvantages over the other and it all boils down to the specific situation you're in. I know for a fact that Cody (if not now, will soon) find that those NE winters can get pretty rough and you will not see anyone stripping down into just their shorts to fight in the street during January. Likewise, you will not find anyone throwing layers of thick clothing one in the middle of July that live in the south. With that, everyone enjoy...much love!
