How does a sport BJJ Gi Grappler beat a no gi Grappler?

[treelizard]

Well I did no-gi submission grappling; when I first started it was 1X/week then 2X/week and then I ramped it way up a few months ago b/c I had the summer off, but now I want to switch to gi, probably 2-3 times a week, and a purple gi isn't a rank like a belt, it's just a gi color.

I have noticed that most of the really good BJJ guys have blue gis though; what's up with that?

Oh my bad, in my head whenever I see the words "I'm getting a purple...." I just assume it's a belt .

I wanted to get the orange gi but I think that might've been too much for the Judo folk I work with lol.

One of the guys from Team Reno had a camo gi. I almost didn't see him there.

I tried to train twice a day five days a week over the summer. It was less than that though. Probably an average of 4 or so times a week, plus I went to an SBGi seminar and spent half a week at an SBGi affiliate in Berkeley.

Not sure how much my game's improved but I lost a couple inches just moving my carb-heavy foods to a post-workout meal...

Once school starts I want to do two or three days of gi, plus I'll be coaching a kid's fitness class for an hour three days a week, plus I'm coaching a mobility/recovery class... And then my weight work....which right now is New Rules of Lifting for Women. That's gonna be about 15 hrs a week; yikes!

That's a pretty full plate. I bet it keeps you out of trouble.

I hope so! I'm hoping it's not too ridiculously busy. Thinking of switching the two classes to twice a week instead of three times...

JK/ Ms. G. Anything so obvious to set you apart...

Blue, purple, camo...

As long as it's not collecting dust, more power to ya!

The white turns a really ugly brown color.

And if you bleach it it turns a gawd awful piss yellow. Or at least my TKD one did.

Well maybe you shouldn't have pissed on it.

They used to use piss as bleach. At least, that's what I heard at the Pompei exhibit.

I guess if the amount of ammonia in it was enough it might work similar to it.

[jubaji]

Tough marketing challenge, though...



"New PISS! With extra ammonia! Once you've pissed your clothes, you know urine for some mighty clean laundry!"

Ba dum tch!!
