I consider them different. I feel like gi and no-gi are 2 different (albeit only slightly) sports. :)
Because they are, apples and oranges both come from trees, both are fruits but still very different. Just like Jiu Jitsu is just pre-World War II Judo, Eddie took elements from the originaland added his own creativity, while eliminating what he deemed unnecessary (the gi). This is what makes it different from BJJ. :)
Lol I feel retarded
It only different cause we are awesome :)
and +1 for that good sirQuote:

if you southern oregon guys ever head down through humboldt dont forget me. My coach is 10th planet friendly. he was there when eddie tapped royler and he got his purple from higan.
You can slip out of nogi but its hard to slip out with gi that's the big differents that's my thout.
Same concepts different strategies (for the most part). Its nothing to stress about because you will always have people say shit that will piss you off. Just keep doing your thing and don't listen to other people!Quote:

For instance, simply teaching a girl the electric chair increases your chances of getting some by 45%. An attribute I believe you will be hard pressed to find in typical BJJ. Like they said, Apples and Oranges.
