Kron Gracie on Gi jiu jitsu

Make sleeves optional, that would fix it F6073794-0849-4CD4-96A3-66C2DA973DC6-5979-00000302829A8694.jpg

BAAAAHAHAHAHA! brilliant

Ryu and Ken said fuck sleeves too and look how much ass they kick.

LOL, removing the sleeves would change every... And look bad ass

Give him a body bag

Both are important... Gi teaches you great fundamentals - look at all the people who transition from gi to big no gi tournaments they always win. Marcelo Garcia, Werdum, Ribeiro, Galvao - just saying the results don't really lie

May have stirred the hornets nest with this comment.

Just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. Just most of the guys I see winning train primarily gi at a competition level. Not saying there hasn't been that have done nothing but no gi, just from what I see. And I think gi and no gi are both important to train in. If some attacks you on the beach or wearing shorts and tshirts and you've only done gi chances are you might be fucked.

that kinda discredits your previous statement, but i guess all the aforementioned competitors are obviously training no gi as well. You can still stall with the lapel and gi pants regardless of if it's sleeveless, but that would dramatically reduce the impact of grips.

GI and no gi are almost two different sports. Similarly the way judo and jiu jitsu have the same point of origin with different emphasis in mind.

Timed gi grips? How very judo.
