Grappling is alot of fun and can be very realistic.

I have never understood why Jujitsu guys and Judo kas as well like to grab on to uniform in order to apply their techniques.

I do some submission wrestling which is very similar to Jujitsu except we don't wear a thick gi when we apply a technique we actually grab the person like you would in a real fight.

Think about it in a real situation no one is going to be wearing a Gi and if you try grabbing shirt or t-shirt chances are with all the movement it will most likely ripp so it would become useless anyways.You might as well be actually grabbing the person do you not agree?

I without a doubt know the stuff taught in grappling arts are very useful but I think some schools and styles have to realize that there are better ways of teaching grappling and have to realize grabbing a Gi is unrealistic.
