So I trained like the last three years in the gi and under legit guys like Robson, Relson and Vitor Oliveira (I've moved a few times). I retired the gi two months ago and committed myself to a single jj goal: mastering the system. I stepped back into a gi class this morning for the first time and after rolling with this high level purple belt he made the comment to me, "You don't seem very comfortable in a gi". It was probably the most validating experience so far in my journey into the 10th planet.
