wow this topic seems to come up once every 2 wks by different organizations...

Why it just doesn't die and go away? Well my take on it is this if you are a fighter, then fight. I know some like only Gi, some only No Gi, other like both. I guess I am training Cora to do both. Until recently she has basically fight No Gi style in the Gi and still doing ok. But now we added the Gi chokes to her game and I think she like it. We just want her to be out there, getting the mat time, the experience. She will fight in any format, whether it be Gi or No Gi, submission only, IBJJF or non-IBJJF event. IF we can afford to go to that event, she will do both. Can't imagine us traveling so far just to do one division. And besides, the more matches she gets, the more highlight videos. LOL
