Gracies..

Are they as good at grappling without a GI as they are with it?

I need to research. I jus watched Mayhem vs Renner an I'm disappointed to see that Mayhem lost cause dude used his shirt to choke him. Phone Post

Roger Gracie.

It really depends on the gracie, rickson was an excellent nogi grappler because he relied on fundamentals the same way roger does, in my opinion the more flashy the moves can be the more you rely on grips. All that said roger has beaten pretty much everyone with the cross collar lol rather than no gi chokes. Apples and oranges, not every gracie is the same sort of grappler, but yes there are some killers without the gi in that family Phone Post

Not a full Gracie, but JJ Machado's style and technique would be awesome for nogi Phone Post


You mean multiple ADCC finalist and 1999 winner JJ Machado?

And Eddie Bravo's instructor.  Is it any wonder that Eddie's JJ is awesome for nogi?

Used his "shirt" to choke him? LOL

You´re a funny dude! Unless you were being serious, in which case, you really do need to research.

I´d start with "Royler Gracie at ADCC". Maybe Google could help you out.

 Im pretty sure JJ Machado subd everyone that year he won ADCC as well.  



The answer to the OP is yes.  Of course.
