Re: Eddie's interview. He said he looks forward to the day when gi is taught alongside 10th Planet JJ in the same academy.

At my academy we train no gi 2x/week. It's just BJJ without the gi but isn't this the norm at most places? Are there a lot of schools that only train with the gi and never take it off?

No lots of schools do both.
Congrats to Denny he's strong as hell and a great wrestler!

good job buddy!

 Congrats.

Depends, some just do gi. It really changes from school to school in my experience.
