Why train with the Gi (uniform) in the fighting arts?
The following is a brief article noting some of the benefits of training with the gi (uniform) fighting arts like Jiu-jitsu or judo.
Chess and Checkers
It is simply logic that when you add the party faces a gi, add more possibilities, so it is a more complex game. It would be much easier for a good chess player to participate in a game of checkers than the opposite.
Greatest technical wrestlers do
In my teaching experience, there's no better way to have the physical attributes of someone who put him in a gi. Without gi, a senior citizen can use most of their opponents and faster, his speed. The point of any art is to use more technique and skill than strength, using the GI to help develop this skill.
You can always take off
I've seen the submission grapplers and wrestlers with ten or more years of experience to get drowned out by people with half of that time while wearing the gi, look as if you put on a shirt. You can be a great Grappler when they are naked, but do not wear clothes in the street! When you train with the gi (correctly) is only a matter of grabbing some adjustments in order to fight without it. If you do not train enough to gi ... you are the type of ladies.
Military and Law Enforcement
Unless you are patrolling the beach (in which case, you have a sweet to the assignment and complain about anything), your opponents are wearing clothes. I have heard many reports of military personnel of the train by saying that I favor the formation, with the gi and make good use of collar chokes. In fact, the core of the modern Army is based on the Manual of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and train the soldiers in their BDUs.
It cool
For those of us who live in places that are cold, and now he had something that resembles a gi for a large part of the year. Even if you are in a warm climate, it is likely to be wearing any pants or shorts and a shirt that you can grab an opponent. The gi is ideal for training because they do not rip like a shirt.
Training with and without the gi, it is important for anyone who practices any art fighting. Have at least 50% of their practice and will be best for him.
