Should be interviewing Jamie, he got an A in physics class

Eddie trying his hardest not to check her out with those beady eyes. The guy in the middle hiding the NoGi stiffy.

Great interview! I totally agree with Eddie. It's just tradition and fear of change that's all.

but the Gi translates into street...just make sure it's late spring or winter. need that jacket. hopefully, fully or partially unzipped.

Eddie is very profound, deep and philosophical he uses logic therefore he will withstand the test of time and revolutionize and progress the art of fighting

Should have made a short interview and just spoke with Eddie. The other two just parrot him lol

Desi... show me your triangle from mount

I've seen old judo videos from the 50s where they were topless and training throws. Rule sets for competitions and governing bodies seem to be the most significant influences of how these martial arts are practised. That's why judo seems to be less prevalent in MMA because everyone trains for Olympic judo and neglect the techniques that get nerfed by the IJF. It fucking sucks because old school judo is fucking badass

GI has more technique, strategy and positions but no-gi favors more athletic ability . Also the no-gi tends to have more leg locks while the GI will have far more chokes and arm attacks

I love training both! But they're right about everything they say, and training in a gi is basically pointless, especially for an MMA fighter.

Biggest hindrance for me... trying to decide which to train. Leaning towards no gi with 10th planet.

There's a mistake in thinking judo and wrestling have the same objective and so the takedown diferences are all based on gi vs no gi. Judo takedowns are lower percentage techniques becuase they're throws; they're meant to be high impact takedowns, it's not just getting them to the ground for its own sake.

EDDIE BRAVO DROPPING MK-ULTRA MY MAN

Just say "conspiracy" to Eddie Bravo and stand back and watch

Danaher says start gi (on Matt serra podcast) and zahabi says no gi. They addressed the technical aspect donaher mentioned though

these dudes are so calm and collective. take notes dudes cuz this is what women love..

So grateful for this video. Thanks for sharing

every fight outside of the cage that i have been in, i was wearing clothes, jacket, shorts or pants. and Koral (jiujitsu brand) jacket has wrist and inside liner made from gi material so it won't rip. i have choked someone using a jacket, a quick ezekiel choke after using his jacket to get a trip/takedown. i Love no gi and am great at rubber guard and the whole 10th planet system, but training in a gi helps a lot if you or who you are attacked by are wearing clothes which 99% of the time when you are in public you have clothes and won't have time to strip down to your 10th planet yoga pants if attacked. maybe if your at the beach or fighting one of those macho man randy savage, rip your shirt off like hulk hogan street fighters. in the real world people wear clothes, and in is their wearing baggy clothing or jackets, knowing chokes that include their clothing or your clothing helps to know. one of my female black belt instructors was attacked by a man at a bar and she was able to use his jacket lapel and put him out with brabo choke. his shoulders were to wide for her to even try the no gi variation.

I agree with a lot of this but the idea that the gi is ENTIRELY unnecessary to fight mma is a different question that if it’s entirely unnecessary to become a jiu jitsu black belt. If you’ve never trained in the gi, you can’t be a BJJ black belt- is that even a question??

Best gi vs no gi vid on KZfaq. Period.

Oh the irony of Eddie having a problem with their being a debate about something and explaining a thing as “so obvious”. This tickles me. You can debate can’t debate gi vs no gi but you can debate flat earth and science (the kind not associated with bjj) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great interview! Thanks.

Karate and TKD still only train with Gi. My theory is the Gi helps train muscle memory because your entire body is covered. It also makes it easier for you and your Sensei to correct your punches and kicks if the angle is wrong. And of course Gi's just look cool when doing Kata.

I only fight people in 30 degree weather so I can have my grips

what was the point about the gi in mma eddie was trying to make at the end?

If you want to learn self defense, train in the gi. If you want to fight MMA, train without the gi.

hey guys honest question. the gracies have a video saying that theres a difference between self defense jiu jitsu and sport jiu jitsu. does 10th planet work for self defense? Or are the gracies just lying to sell more stuff?

I train both gi and nogi. I can say that in my experience, after training in the gi for a while rolling without the gi is so much easier. Being used to wearing a coat and pants and then shedding those things is like becoming a great driver in an Buick and then getting into a corvette...it’s just faster and handles better. For self defense (which isn’t what they were talking about, but I think it’s important), training in a gi translates much better to the street because people commonly wear belts and jackets...I hardly ever see people wearing rash guards and spats on the street.

No go has less to learn. If you’re in it for self defense then no gi would be your better investment. I’m a white belt who’s been primarily doing no gi. I easily dominate every blue belt I come across. you pick up bad habits with the gi imo. Plus I live in Florida, everyone’s practically naked and sweaty over here. if I lived in New York I’d be singing a different song.

It shouldn't be a debate!!! It's all personal preference Take what you like and run with it!!! Heavy metal...Country Jehovah's witness...Baptist Poker cash game.....poker tournament Do what you love and experiment if you like!!!!

I mean gi jiujitsu has its place I guess but no gi is definitely more practical I would imagine. I don’t do bjj but it makes perfect sense. I mean no ones walking around in a gi. Lol

Eddie lookin at her like a snack lmao

But does Tony Ferguson have black belt skill? I'd be curious how non mma black belt is against Tony. Pretty sure its from winning a match in UFC by submission. Disrespectful to practicioners?

Eddie Bravo said years ago that it's not the gi that makes a person a good grappler but the grappling.

I dont get why they hand out belts though... The belt fits a sertain skillset in the Gi. No offense! what do you think about that guys?

The best and most time/cost effective hybrid is probably short-sleeved gi top and short legged gi shorts. Less to grab on to, but always something, so you have a sense of working without cloth but with as well. 90% of self defense situations aren't at the beach there it's dudes in nothing but board shorts or swimming spandex. Simple logic. Sambo is on the right track.

I flinch every time Eddie slaps his hand with his fist.

Trust me, if you're rolling no-gi with some strong dude who knows some submissions and how to defend against them, all those years of training with gi will feel like wasted time. Gi works against gi. But heavy and strong guys don't really gain anything by training with gi. See ADCC, the heavier guys are like bodybuilders as well as submission experts. Also don't forget that five non-bjj dudes won ADCC. Bjj with a gi is a wonderful art, but the majority of all locks and techniques will seem ineffective when the gi is removed.

I train in the gi to show off my badass gis. I train no gi to show off my badass rash guards.

I think nogi is obviously better for MMA. However based on the slipperiness and the more dynamic nature and athleticism required for nogi Gi requires better technique and more grappling efficiency. so I think the better overall grapplers are gi players and the better overall athletes are nogi players But I'm just a two stripe white belt What the f*** do I know

Its called catch wrestling

Desi will you show me your triangle

No-gi was always trained in Brazil, since the Gracies created the bjj, back in the day, they used to fight it the beaches in Rio, like surfers rivalry or any other reason, n no reason too lol, also vale tudo competitions was with little shorts like speedos, gi wasn't allowed, so they had to train with no gi. No gi is good fo mma, now, for street fight, dude, u need to be good on gi, u r gonna use your clothes n your opponent's clothes as gi, even if it fights without t-shirt, u can use your own t-shirt n pants. it's important to train both. In a real fight a guy who trains with gi n no-gi have a huge advantage fighting against the one who trains only no-gi, will strangle the guy that only train with no-gi in seconds using one of the t-shirts. In the army per example, they has to learn more of bjj with gi, in a combat u have a unpredictable fight, no one is going to wait one another to take off the t-shirts.

No Gi = luta livre

Lol first time I see this channel, but I'm loving the author Desi's response to comments.

Start no gi and that way if you decide you’d rather do something else or nothing at all, you didn’t buy a gi

I like both think there both good!!

I started jiu jujitsu for self defense not the sport . That’s why I hate Gi grips

Thats why you train in both Gi -no Gi for street !

Eddie's legs look about a foot long in the thumbnail

Great idea let’s have a gi vs no-gi without having a gi advocate there. Quite unintelligent. Smh

No-gi Judo and no-gi Brazilian Jui-Jitsu is the ticket along with wrestling and Catch Wrestling.

8:42 Eddie: I got my gi in the black belt.

Eddie isn’t afraid to say something that might hurt your feelings.

As far as I can tell, in a street fight nobody wears their pajamas, and only wear jackets during winter.

Eddie Bravo Outstanding!! 👏🏻

The gi or "kimono" were common clothing back then in Japan before western influenced. Now it's more of a tradition, but to say that it's unrealistic for the street, I don't think it's a good argument. Same could be said with strictly no gi (your opponent can't grab your clothing and you theirs), that's unrealistic too. So what I think is that you have to compromise, find common ground, which is, someone could grab your clothing and control you, but because you've adapted to gi and no-gi, you'll be able overcome the challenge

No gi feels easier than gi because the lack of grips. Grips save you on so much

Anyone else notice Eddie almost never blinks? You know what else doesn’t blink? Lizards…🐊

Yeh man~

Gi or no gi for street fights? Just curious.

Gi Jiujitsu = MK ULTRA

Edgy brah

10/10 Slay queen

well i guess i gotta throw this shit away

I Fucking hate wearing the Gi

Werdum is a beast in the gi

4:00 Eddie talking about science.... Yeah right :D .... Just saw a video of him talking about flat earth stuff and the moon landing muhahaha

but I love my ezekiel chokes!

I feel like edgy bras face is one carved into history ...all these jamie comments kill me btw

Desi is so beautiful and intelligent. I dont see no ring. Someone needs to wife her up.

Desi flores are you in need of a husband?

There should be a separate MMA sport with mandatory gi!

Eddie's got a half gi on! It should be trunks only, no spandex long sleeves neither

Train Miagi style and you win every fight using leathal chopsticks 🍜

Eddie bravo talks like Quentin Tarantino

**Thugs pulling off their wife beaters before a fight** Welp looks like it's time for my Greco-Roman/ Collegiate Wrestling and 10th planet training to help me. No gi is better imo. If you train Gi I'd do It occasionally and Mostly Judo. Since step 1 of BJJ a ground fighting art is to take it to the ground. UNLESS you live up north, then gi is understandable.

Eddie a robot

there actually a huge conspiracy about why there is nogi

Outfuckingstanding, can Eddie be any more fucking clear? It’s all about money and pride, and jealousy of transformation. Also, the woman shouldn’t be interrupting, sthaap please.

EDGE BRAVO.. EDGE BRA.. WHY NO WEAR DA GI...

why is she bigger than them

Just cuz bjj is a "new" thing here in America, some people r trying to lie n make a fake history of Eddy Bravo being the creator of the no-gi style. It is all bjj with gi o no gi, the Gracies always trained both ways. Eddie just choose to practice a 100% nogi. Oss

I like his Feet
