This is why I find it funny when people say stuff without really knowing or just repeat stuff they here

Marcelo uses gi grips, Marcelo uses collar chokes, Marcelo grabs the belt, Marcelo teaches and uses the Gi all the time

Watch his roll with Faria, he grabs sleeves, he subs him with a loop choke, he uses far lapel control from half guard on top and side control to pass, etc...

I dont know how this stuff spreads, but it does, it just annoys me when people say stuff without really knowing or finding out for themselves

Can't edit, a couple spelling mistakes, sorry about that

Because Eddie said it once when he was advocating training nogi jiu jiu or, rather, opposing gi jiu jitsu for MMA and everyone slurps up the cool-aid. This is the same guy that says he has geared his entire system towards MMA, but then advocates wearing gi pants for nogi jiu jitsu (unless you're fighter Royler Gracie evidently lol) even though gi pants aren't allowed in MMA.

To me, this entire debate is ridiculous. Gi vs. Nogi, it doesn't matter. It's all jiu jitsu. The debate is also entirely one-sided. Have you ever heard gi guys oppose training nogi as strongly as 10P opposes the gi? If you're trying that desperately to rationalize your training focus, perhaps you have some doubts.

Sorry, forgot which forum I was on. What I meant to say was "Fuck wearing pyjamas. Ain't no collar chokes in the streets!!"

I don't agree with that at all

I've been told everything from what I do is not 'real' jiu jitsu, no-gi belts don't count, I'm less technical.....take your pick
