I have worn my gi on occassion. Generally when I'm cold in the winter but the leg grip in hi guard is nothing short of amazing. I really dont use collars or grips or sleeves, Being a gi guy from the beginning I truly believe they are 2 different sports so I chose not to mix and match. More power to you guys though... I think its great!

I just started training in the gi again after taking sometime away from it and swearing that I would never put one back on... So Ari, im down with the hangman idea!!! Jon, I think i know what you are talking about.. Don't you open the lapel behind the guys neck and stick you heel in there and then cross your other foot on top of that one???

Yep Josh, that is the hangman technique. I've pulled it off from time to time.---------------------

Hit up www.breakpointfc.com you can buy pants without having to invest in a gi top. I love them! Just don't get Gold weave or heavy weights... You'll sweat out on the mat

That's actually not it Josh. I know what your talking about though. Let me try to see if I can explain it better. Your not opening up the lapel behind their neck. You break your opponent down and then untuck their lapel out from under their belt on their back. Then take the bottom of their lapel and pull it diagonal across their back beside their neck. This will keep their posture broken down. Your hand should be in a chill dog type position, but instead of grabbing your leg, you are grabbing the bottom of their lapel. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, this is the same control Braulio Estima uses/teaches.

Sprawl makes a pair of gi pants with their same innovations for fight shorts. Just and FYI.
