The Benefits of Training With the Gi

With the gi your defense has to be better because there's no friction and so if you're going to escape an arm lock with the gi on you have to do it very well. Even more important actually is not the just the submission but a cross side or mount when someone's a cross side on you with a gi arm they've got those candles  and it's very difficult or positive control risk control all that stuff. It actually takes more technique to hold somebody down with no gi than it does with gi even though sometimes I hear people say the gi is more technical rightI don't actually agree with that I think they're both technical in their own aspect
