Gi or No-Gi—Which style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is better? | EP143

In Episode 143 of the 40 & Fighting Podcast, we break down the biggest differences between Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, including grips, pacing, technique, strategy, athleticism, submissions, and how each style changes the way you approach a match. Does training in the Gi make your Jiu-Jitsu more technical? Is No-Gi more realistic, faster, or better for MMA? Should BJJ practitioners focus on one style, or train both to become more complete grapplers? We also have some fun creating hypothetical dream matches between some of the greatest Jiu-Jitsu competitors of all time. We compare different generations, styles, rule sets, weight classes, and discuss who might win if the legends of Gi and No-Gi grappling faced each other at their best.
