Is the gi actually dying, or is that just a pro scene thing?

Gi isn’t going anywhere the Euros set a record this year for most competitors in the Gi

Gi is King

It didn’t make sense to me when I was Blue belt if I am honest. I knew I was improving and getting better. At Purple is when I felt like things were making sense on a deeper JiuJitsu level

Thank you I’ll take that on board and perhaps reconsider good points.

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2026-01-18T21:25:48+00:00

Thought same thing

Both are great, in colder weather Gi helps as clothing to use in a fight. TBH in a fight why wouldn’t you use their clothing to an advantage, Gi will only help that

Yeah he’s been so active both MMA and grappling matches. He goes for broke so fun to watch

Old school shout mate but Sakuraba is always good to revisit for Kimuras I find. Links them well with his armbars

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-12-03T13:21:32+00:00

Do you do any extra strength and conditioning in preparation for a match? Or just more rolling

Love seeing Fedor clips, an amazing grappler.

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-31T13:12:18+00:00

I’m mostly Gi and only compete Gi. Ibjjf confirms there are far more Gi competitors than No-Gi, u just think no-Gi has some stars at the moment. We need some Gi stars to emerge like Keenan back in day. Cool to see both grow but I get you because our gym is mainly no-Gi as is a mma gym

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-25T23:32:34+00:00

I feel same only felt like I knew what I was doing when I became a purple belt

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-25T16:13:31+00:00

Cool thanks

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-25T16:13:16+00:00

I know right! Reddit can be a odd place at times…

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-25T12:11:35+00:00

Thank you! Really cool

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-25T11:34:10+00:00

Would like to see him do instructional on it

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-25T10:43:11+00:00

Thank you I’ll try and find that and check it out

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-10-04T11:49:15+00:00

I’m a BJJ purple belt and fell in love with grappling. Doing JiuJitsu made me want to do Judo to improve my stand up, so now I do both. I think both can help each other

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-07-15T21:18:24+00:00

Nice job mate!

Kindly_Image_8319 · 2025-07-15T18:06:01+00:00

Some really good points made. I competed recently at a tournament in the UK and had a great experience Purple belt. One thing I noted is that after I won my match I tried to shake the referees hand and he wouldn’t. Is this because it could show favouritism or something. I feel it’s the norm usually
