No clue. But why do some fighters prefer to wear a Gi in a fight and others do not? For example, Gracie wore a gi when he fought Sakuaba and I fought it was a disavantage because Sakuaba kept on using the gi as a distraction or leveage.

Myth

When Karate was "introduced" onto Okinawa, they didn't wear a gi The gi that was used lateron was adopted from Judo

Quote from http://www.jka-usa.com
Kano knew if he modified Jujutsu (the gentle art) into Judo (the gentle way) he could accomplish his goal and legalize it. What Kano did was to have his students wear a uniform called a "gi" which is tied closed with different colored belts representing training accomplishments. He then demonstrated the sports aspect of Judo to the Japanese government. The Japanese government immediately embraced the new "way" and judo became an overnight success.

During Funakoshi's demonstration, he had all his students dress in the same gi as the Judo students, then he put the belts on them and had them demonstrate

In my experience, you can usually find a good weapon in the hands of the victim attacking you.
