10th planet Jiu jitsu in a Gi style

[Magnus Hansson]

This is really awesome! It just motivates you to be open-minded and innovative, and this is what bjj is all about. Because lets face it - you have to train in the gi if you want to be good, no matter if your focus is no gi or mma. And this - this is the best motivational and inspirational piece that a 10p head can get in order to sit down, drill hard and become a better bjj fighter. And for those that still aren't convinced - go to Stockholm and taste this medicine) Cheers!

Thanx Vlad!! I want to correct you just a little bit:-) If you really want to be good in Jiu Jitsu I also think you need to do both, the fact is that 99% of the top 10 (every weight class NOGI) Jiu Jitsu players has at least started out with Gi in their career.
BUT for MMA ( if Your aren´t the best stand up guy in the world and don´t need to train any of the wrestling, boxing and thaiboxing) I believe that you shouldn´t train with Gi! it really doesn´t improve your game in the speed you want it to and the game/rules are very different. Most MMA guys don´t have that much time to spend on each part they are training.
Just as an example! When Im training Paul "Semtex" Daley we only train the bottom game (Lockdown with all variations of reversals) to escape and get up to standing, because Paul is one of the hardest hitting guy in the world! He shouldn´t even be at the ground whatsoever. Since we started he hasn´t lost one single match and he is really getting awesome at Lockdown. Paul goes to work on his Thaiboxing at Mike´s gym in Holland and also in Thailand and for wrestling he brings Kenny Johnson, why would he put on a Gi and when would he have the time:-)?.

This is just my point of view:-)

This might be the motivation I needed to go to gi class aswell (nogi is only twice a week; the other 3 nights are gi).

Yeah, you are of course right to a great extend, BUT, what I meant is that you need the gi in order to be a better grappler/better BJJ Fighter and not MMA fighter or martial artist per se (although I believe that if you have the time you should do both). And the case of Paul is a little bit special - he is primarily a striker and he should definitely just focus on being safe on the ground until he is back on his feet and stopping take downs in general so he doesn't go to the ground in the first place. But for a guy who is primarily a grappler - experience with the gi could make the difference from being average to being great, especially if you don't have 10 years of wrestling behind your back And the gi made a difference for me and especially to my no gi game. I am much faster, precise, with better balance and not to mention the grip. We have a guy in our school who strictly disliked the gi and was really against training in it because its stupid (which is easy to understand after several years of only no gi training), people pull you all the time etc. etc. But he got very lucky for having the opportunity to go to New York and train with Marcelo for month and a half tree times a day. Basically, he is very strong, has good wrestling, and pretty decent BJJ (both 10th planet and conventional) for a blue belt so he is a strong opponent. And guess what happened - he came back a different person Not that he loves more the gi now, but he now admits that its important to train in the gi as well. He rolled several times with Marcelo and many times with some of his purple and brown belts and he said that even no gi if these guys grab a hold on your wrist and triceps (2on1 Marcelo Style) its almost impossible to break the grip. Not to mention the balance they had - sweeping is hardly possible unless you are really precise with your technique. So, in the end its a personal choice and it really depends on your focus and the availability of free time and good instruction. I can only say that after we started to train more with the gi our guys got much better no gi. Maybe it is strange for some people but facts speak for themselves - with the same team, competing against similar opponents etc. we played and scored so much better during the last ADCC Bulgaria (3 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze) in comparison to last year (1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze). And for the people who think their 10p style will suffer - yeah maybe in the beginning you will have some difficulties, but I think Magnus' video proved that its not impossible to adapt successfully. And in the end you simply will be a better grappler))
