the gi is a great training tool, as well as a weapon. it teaches you how to manipulate your clothing as well as the clothing of your opponents to your advantage. not using the gi means you miss out on a whole lot.
a guy who uses the gi, can take it off and still be able to roll without it, though a guy who has never trained with the gi puts it on, he is going to have a hard time utilizing it. |

As a final comment, if you're switching from no-gi to gi, one of the things you'll notice is that your submissions will be so much tighter since you're normally used to applying submissions on sweat covered opponents who will slip out at the slightest opening.

I train in no-gi right now with some kick ass folks, but most of the women I've trained with really recommend gi, if only because the attitude etc. in the gyms is more positive. |

Punching in the head changes things as much or more than the gi or no gi debate.
Did you see brocks ground and pound?! wtf! small hammerfists inefective for him,however i dont think he should of been warned for the back of the head blow,that probably lost him the fight. |

Submitting to the leg attack cost him the fight.
Gi VS No-Gi debate: Look at the ADCC. How many medalists were primarily GI players and how many were primarily No-Gi players? Its not even close. Gi players are winning 90% + of the time. Gi VS No-Gi in MMA, as it was said before, the Gi is a great training tool. Just think about defending submissions. Most No-Gi players defend an armbar from the bottom by just trying to rip it out, depending on their own sweat and explosiveness to secure the escape rather than working on technique. Try that with a Gi on and your opponent will end up taking your arm home and giving it to his kids to play with. And sooner or later you are going to find someone who knows how to counter your "grip it and rip it" arm bar defense. The Gi player has to deal with additional grips while watching their spacing, checking their blocks, and defending counters. When they learn to defend the arm bar properly they can transfer that skill directly to no-gi and then, even if they are confronted with someone who can counter the "grip and rip" defense, they can still escape and push their game forward.

It's no secret that I especially enjoy leg locks. I was hoping Brock would crush Mir but that was one sweet (slick) sweep and transition into the submission.
Probably the best Judo I've seen in some time.

I think Brock's loss should be chalked up to inexperience. With more time, he's going to become a helluva entertaining mma athlete, especially considering his coaches (Greg Nelson & Erik Paulson). I saw him wrestle when I was at the University of Iowa and he was an animal. It's nice to see Mir back on a winning track, though. As for the gi/no-gi debate, if you were smart, you'd do both. That being said, I think the ratio of each should be determined by the geographic location and season of where you're training. Midwesterners and upper Atlantic residents or wintertime equates to more clothing. Southerners, west coast residents and summertime equate to less clothing. Be prepared.

Saying most no-gi players defend armbars by simply yanking their arm out is a lie. However, since no-gi is an entirely different beast, that IS one of the options available to them. If their elbow is out past their hip, they can yank it out without any consequences, and plus it'll get their arm out before the armbarr-er can reestablish his hip position on the arm. Also, if they can simpy pull out of an armbar like that, that tells you that the armbar was too loose in the first place. Gi is a more slow paced game than no-gi. There are a lot less handles so you're going to have to stick to your opponent like glue too maintain position and explode into submissions a lot quicker. Also, since no-gi folks don't have the luxury of more handles and increased friction, they have to emphasize a lot tighter and quicker submissions.

It looked like the pain was on his achillies tendon?

I didn't look close but the torque is (supposed to be) on the knee...
