Training in the Gi will increase your posture and base (because of pulling on the collar/sleeve). Seeing how posture and base are crucial aspects of the No-Gi game... Then I would say the Gi would be a good training tool to "increase your performance" in No-Gi. There are many more angles/aspects that Gi training provides. But these, I think are the biggest benefits.Quote:

I stated jiu-jitsu about three years ago and was doing it for three months before i completly tore every tendon in my right shoulder and was out for over two years. I started back about 8months ago and I have always wore a gi. About 2 months ago now i ran across 10th planet and eddie bravo. It has completly changed my game and I have been using the gi. Its alittle hard for me to get as much reps as ya'll due to my gym being a traditional jj place so im just practicing some of my techniques after class when we free train. I would have to say that eddie's techniques fit me perfectly. Im a small guy at 130lbs and most guys in my gym are 160-260. These techniques used with gi on larger guys is amazing. I have found one problem with them grabbing my pant leg and using that to try and pass which they are sometimes successful, unless i can catch that leg in butterfly while in mission control. It sucks that I have no gyms closer to perfect my technique but the technique section is amazing and now that i found a 10th planet about 3.5hours from me i plan on taking that trip once a month. Im looking at competing in NAGA coming in april and i wish to do it in the gi so if anyone as any tips or suggestions let me know. Im gald this site exsits because it has completly pissed off everyone in my gym, lol. They hate rolling with me now, lol!!
so long as there are cool people and jiu jitsu, I'm happy, minus the fast food. I'd probably be cooking a lot.Quote:
