I respect gi and nogi, but mostly I respect the people who are open to it all. You have all talked about how Jiu Jitsu is about being open minded. But a lot of you, if it's not 10thpjj than you won't have anything to do with it. That's being very narrow minded. Just stick with what works for you and let others do the same. Don't chastize people for having a fucking opinion. Be open minded. Practice what you preach.
    This is why I love this woman!!! Well said Babe...

    Agreed. Very well said Heidi. Just a few possible slight misconceptions that I want to point out.

    For starters, many people make this mistake, but 10th Planet JJ is BJJ. It is not a separate entity, but more like a branch of a very large tree. So, we practice and drill any and all techniques that work on a high level for No-Gi. That includes a lot of traditional JJ.

    Also, keep in mind that at HQ, people do in fact show Renato proper respect. Eddie doesn't allow people to disrespect one another at the gym. He is very serious about that, so if anyone is being disrespectful, you can bet they are not from HQ.

    Renato is a tough cookie, but he is very knowledgeable and just comes from very specific circumstances. Although he can be difficult sometimes, we all definitely appreciate his charisma and talent.

    Sorry Eddie, I'll try not to.

    When you gonna train with weights, do you need to take the weights home with you to see if you gonna have muscles? No. If you train hard,the muscles gonna stay. It's the same with the Gi. That's Jiu-Jitsu.

    You so use to foney jiu-jitsu that you don't know when you see the real thing. If you don't like me I don't care. Everything I do is for Jiu-Jitsu. BRASIL Jiu-Jitsu.

    Renato,

    If I am going to wear a gi, which color gi should I wear? I noticed you wear a black gi. Does a black gi make your jiu jitsu better than a white gi ?

    Its important not to turn this Gi vs no Gi into a Religious following for years to come. Simply be open minded about both. I hardly ever do Gi because I get hot easy but I am wondering if it really does make your Jiu Jitsu better.
