What do you like more Gi or No-Gi?

"to have proper technique you need to work with the gi first"

Bollocks!

Oh yeah - No Gi

Definitely no gi. Tranining with the gi in my opinion can help your no gi game.. but your no gi game cannot improve your gi game.

""to have proper technique you need to work with the gi first"

good quote...

I do both.

reference the "more gi or no gi training" thread...It's got some great posts from both sides of the spectrum...

no-gi, because I have small hands and my grips suck, among other reasons.

Gi - more options, more technical

No-Gi - faster, better flow

John_Cooper · January 24, 2007, 2:17pm

No-Gi for MMA. Hands Down.

JBIG · January 24, 2007, 2:21pm

NO GI
unless you like gay ass handles...

No Gi

Both, but generally with gi. Most people you'll fight will have some clothes on, but seldom as strong as a gi, so you definitely need to learn hooks and chokes without a lapel and other gi goodies.

But for sport, no-gi goes a little too fast for me.

For some reason, I really hate it when people start using the skirts of my gi to pull off techniques.

It's more important to start in the gi, than continue training with it. IMO
