Why You Suck at No-Gi Grappling and What To Do About It
From Bulletproof For BJJ
Do you struggle with No-Gi grappling? Do mainly train in the Gi but want to improve your No-Gi game?
Recently a friend of the podcast confessed to Joey about sucking at No-Gi. The thing is they are really good in the Gi, so why is the Gap so great? The boys break down exactly why being raised in the Gi can teach you habits that will hurt you when you try to grapple sans pyjama. It's not just an athleticism thing, it's actually a different way of thinking about how to control another human. This may seem obvious on the surface but when all the control you are used to is stripped away, how do you rebuild your game- top and bottom? This episode serves as a different approach for the Kimono Killers to change their game so they can become a No-Gi Ninja.
