Phantasmatic Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 I would have to say 100% in-gi because I don't practice at home because I don't have anyone to practice with. "Which one is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi Wan Kenobi
three60roundhouse Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 I would say 95% in gi.....that's all I actually train in, but my brother is a wrestler, I like to roll with him for fun - I'd like to be comfy in gi before I start tarining no gi. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!

Bon Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Around 98% or so, I don't do the UFC training yet.. if I did, that'd make it about 1/4 no gi, 3/4 gi.. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
G95champ Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 We do a small bit of grappeling in my karate class. Only because I have cross trained some. We always use the gi. My thinking is if you are attacked outside a guy will most likely have a shirt, coat, jacket or some sort of clothes on. (General George S.

monkeygirl Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 I spend 99.9% time in gi...I say that because every now and then we have street clothes days where we do all self-defense in normal clothing. We don't do much grappling, my buddies and I wrestle sometimes after class for fun. I know they think they're hugging me because they're all madly in love with me, but it's good practice in fighting. No seriously, I'm training... last summer I was so good people were placing bets on me. I had some of the fastest tap-outs in my class 1st dan & Asst.

jiu-jitsu fighter Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 i train in gi 75% of the time to get a feeling of training without a gi "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
