BJJ without gi vs MMA BJJ(without gi).Is gi version harder?

[All_Is_Connected]

I think so. its another game in Gi man. so much harder . share knowledge please

 

[j123]

MMA bjj, including strikes or no? Strikes changes the dynamic alot.

Or do you mean Gi vs no-gi? If this, then yeah its different as well. Grips are different, slower paced, more friction some variations of guard passes have to be made when doing Gi.

In theory gi has more elements (if leglocks are counted here also), so it takes more time to learn.

 

[Dogstarman]

Another gi vs no gi thread. They are different. Practice both it's important.

 

[Jack Handy jr]

One is applicable in any fight or grappling situation (no gi) one is not.

Not all mma "grappling" works in the gi.
A lot of stuff just gets you choked.

YES! someone had to do this, gi vs no gi! its been a while...

this thread will start with some calling out ts for starting another gi vs no gi, then guys will go practice both, some 50 more will say the same, untill eventually someone will go, no gi is better because people dont weak gis on da street, 593849 guys will come out and say, , well people dont walk buttnaked where I live, so gi is better, and kaaabooon, 2304840938 pages of war, history repeats it self...

Then it will devolve into a Self Defense vs sport BJJ thread

 

[BJJ_Rage]

Juro vs Bjj is the sure path

 

[Oleg Raktatov]

To be fair, the guy asked what was "harder" not "better"...

For guys that mostly train gi, NOGI is hard- getting your opponant down all leglocks & heelhooks can be used.
You often see higher belted gi guys get leglocked in nogi comp.

For guys that mostly train nogi, the GI is hard - gi guys are tricky and the gi has much more ways in which you can get grabbed pushed pulled choked.
So you see nogi guys not performing as well in the gi in comp.

 

[Holy Matrimony]

Using a gi adds a whole new dynamic to grappling. I would stay it's a little bit harder, but also easier in some ways. I started off grappling exclusively with a gi growing up, when I started to switch to MMA I noticed that my grappling improved because of my flexibility. It is easier to control flexible opponents when they are in a gi, but also there are a significant amount of submissions that are added with a gi involve.

It's almost like the one you train most, will be *easier* and the one you train least will be *harder.* Next you'll tell me that training wrestling makes wrestling easier than judo, and training judo makes judo easier than wrestling.
