Reminder to those competing soon: LISTEN TO YOUR COACH. If he's yelling "what are you doing?!" and "you can't do that!" Stop. Yes, you the guy going all serial killer on mat three. What you're doing right now. Stop and LISTEN.

But, then it won't get as youtube hits. Priorities sun.
Tatami gis are good
Break points are well known for being a very loose fitting gi, great if you want to give your partner something to grab onto. I personally went with Padilla and sons, argued to be as good as a shoyoroll and half the cost. Order a gi for the fit, its worth it. get a custom made one when you blow up some day. Check this site, best break down I have ever come across. IT starts with a base gi and basically an engineers way of grading gis.

Also, look into one of Ari's Gun Metal Gi's.
I died my own gi. really easy and hasn't worn off. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=3&theater
not ever using a gi is throwing away half the perspective of what bjj is
Just watched a highlight of Gabby, dang Gabby you gooood! I want half of her half perspective plz! If I can attain that in this lifetime, I'll be a happy man! :)
(I'm not really anti-Gi by the way, I definitively see the advantages for self defense and stuff like that.
I just like no-gi better.)
