Episode #09 - The Fabric of Fight: A Brief Examination of Gi and No-Gi in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
12/12/23 • 38 min
Suit UP, listeners, as we traverse the exhilarating landscape of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Riding high from a silver medal win at the Atlanta Open, I am thrilled to share memories from the mat, delve into the strategies that led to my podium finish, and the importance of stepping into the competition arena for the first time. Our previous episode with Victoria Delgado broke records as the most downloaded and I express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support. I also share the triumphs of my teammates - a shout out to a first-time gold medalist and a IBJJF No-Gi Worlds double silver finish for an Alliance Roswell Alum.
Hold tight as we grapple with the recurring debate - Gi or No-Gi? Drawing from personal experience and the recent no-gi worlds competition, we'll navigate the pros and cons of each style, how these influence strategic game plans, and the implications of each. Does the attire really matter? Is one superior to the other? All this and more, as we uncover the layers of this age-old Brazilian Jiu Jitsu argument. Be prepared to broaden your understanding of the sport as we examine the benefits of being versatile and training in both styles.
Finally, let's raise a toast to the expansion of our Jujitsu community and podcast viewership. Your contributions and interactions have made this platform a real-time hub for learning and sharing BJJ wisdom. Don't forget to roll out the red carpet for our upcoming guest, Dr. Emily Loftus, a chiropractor specializing in preventing BJJ injuries. So, here's to staying grounded, caffeinated, and always ready for the next roll - together!
