I'm afraid MuayThaiFighter has yet to realise that real wisdom is being aware of what you don't know......

He just thinks he's an expert.

A good grappler should train both, Gi and No Gi. This prepares you for all your grappling eventualities.
I never claimed to be an expert, in fact I have never done Jujitsu as I stated before. I was just curious as to why Jujitsu guys wear the Gi,because I can't make sense of it that is why I was asking. I am not trying to be arrogant,Jujitsu is something I can't argue against because I have never done it before.

The only grappling I do is submission wrestling and we were told that the reason we don't wear a uniform as Jujitsu guys do is because on the street you and the person won't be wearing a Gi so you need to practice the way you would if you were to grab or be grabbed by someone without a uniform.

Now I wanted to know straight from someone who actually does do Jujitsu as to why they wear the Gi. I'm not saying they are wrong to I just wanted an explaination.

Gee can't I ask a simple question without being treated as if I was doing anything wrong?

In other forums I argue because I do have experience in both karate and muay thai kickboxing but as far as Jujitsu and submission wrestling although I know basically same techniques it is the uniform part I don't know the reason for in Jujitsu.

Had this thread been about Jujitsu techniques I know for a fact I woudn't have to question any of the techiques because I know they are very useful and realistic both competition and street wise.I have alot of respect for grapplers since they don't just claim things about their art but have also proven it over and over again.
