gi vs no-gi - Braulio Estima

Watch @ 41:50. Braulio has some interesting thoughts on gi vs no-gi training, & the benefits that both styles have on each other.
Thoughts?

Great episode Jake. I look forward to every one. This one is my top 3. The other two were Nino Schembri (his side mount bottom attacks were awesome) and Jeff Glover (the roll was fun to watch).

Braulio is one of my heroes.

I think he has a well informed opinion. I'd say that working the gi in the traditional way helps guys develop strong foundations that will translate well into no gi. But I don't believe that gi will help your MMA game. There's a reason the Nogueira bro's don't train gi anymore. In my eyes, each one is starting to become their own sport in their own respect. It's like, greco and judo (pardon the rough analogy). You can do a lot of judo stuff in greco. You can do a lot of greco stuff in judo. But you can't play each one identically. Same with bjj and no gi. The moves translate one to the other, but it's starting to evolve into someone different sports. Again, this is just my opinion. So what I'm saying is, saying which is better is comparing apples to oranges. They're both beautiful in their own right and they can both be helpful to one another.

But No gi is still the smarter one to train for the sport of MMA.

They probably call him Roger with the "R" in the UK. I can hear traces of UK rubbing off on Braulio's accent. This could be one case.

those double under pass counters are brilliant.

I hope nobody at my gym learns them. After seeing that episode I think I have to upgrade my baby wipe into taking the back since I'm already encountaring basic hip counters to my current under pass. I know how to force my underpass but I usually come out into a low side mount that is a hassle to grind out of.

I enjoy back control, so I should just dump them over their head and hop on.

Awesome episode Jake! Very in depth interview! I still disagree with his gi vs. nogi opinion! With him saying the nogi guy's just slips out because it gets slippery but the gi guy has to use technique to get out. I'm sorry but nogi instructors do teach proper techniques to escape!!!

Glad you guys enjoyed it.
The gi vs nogi debate will never die ;)

As for Roger's name, AFIK he prefers the non-Brazilian pronunciation.
His name is the only Brazilian R name that I pronounce as an R sound instead of H.
Go figure.

Filming an episode next week with a big guy.
Sparring is not going to be fun...

Awesome episode. The insight into his philosophy of training and his beginning was great. I love hearing how all of these guys keep their ego in check. The episode before with Romulo was equally inspiring. Great work Jake. As always great techniques. Blew my mind up.

Sweet. 2 of my goals with Rolled Up:

1 Show the personality of these guys: Once you get to know someone, watching them compete becomes much more interesting.

2 Show how talented they are: When paired up with equal talent, often the match is slow and not exciting. When they go against me, well, you get to see their real game.

Thanks for watching Bobby.
