If your grappling for MMA and nogi grappling, just train nogi. Its not necessary to train gi unless you want to achieve belt rankings or compete in gi tournaments. You know what you want to focus on and just do that.
I love training in the gi, for me it serves two training purposes, 1) I can compete in gi tournaments, and 2) in a street fight I know how to use people's clothing against them.
That being said, I'm slowly adding nogi training to my learning because I want to know nogi concept as well. I want to learn both styles of grappling.
