BUT..
the other day I was reading a thread and someone was saying about how training with a gi makes you more technical and I was wondering what everyones opinion is on this. It is hard for me to judge because I did the first two or three years of BJJ with a gi on.
I am interested in knowing what other MMA clubs do.
JKD187, I am very interested in what you do at the SBG.

Hello there Cam....ive been busy sorry i didn't write back sooner.In regards to GI training....it honestly depends on what you are doing.If its for MMA then there is no use for the GI.The GI Grappling will NOT make your NO-GI sharper.Its totally different.....Its like saying will training in Judo help out your Greco Roman.....it might but why not just focus on Greco since that is what you will be competeing in.At SBG in NY we do 1 day with the gi on...because we do enter gi tournys as well as NO-GI and MMA....Muay Thai....Boxing etc etc.Thanks for the interest in what i have to say.
