Really cool article for a variety of reasons - the perspective of a formerly elite female BJJ athlete now coping with BJJ as a "normal" person.
I came upon a similar conclusion with nogi. The friction and extra holds makes it easier to distort my body and apply pressure in ways that would be harder in nogi. Granted, I probably think this way because I'm 160lbs.
This thread has solidified my decision. I think I'll make the push for black in gi just to say I have it and then join 10th planet. I was hesitant about 10th planet because all I was exposed to was wacky shit but I went to a free trial and surprise surprise, it was almost exactly like any other BJJ class I've taken.
I just hope my body can hold out until then.
