the gi is great for self defense. there are many lethal gi techniques in the form of strangles and chokes. everyone wears clothing. it also allows u develope awesome grip strength which will help out your no gi game.
i mean, wouldnt u like to learn tons of ways to strangle people with their own clothing as well as your own? as a martial artist id love to have that in my arsenal.
and for any of u who think its not practical, the next time u go out remember to take notice of what people are wearing, and their collars. u will see how gi techniques of some kind can almost always be used on people. |
