Show me where I said you *shouldn't* train in a Gi. Your entire reply here is in response to something I never said.
They force you to get better at different things, but I don't believe there's much carry over. You obviously can't scramble the same in a gi as you do no-gi due to the grip...
Untrained people shouldn't have the false confidence to attempt armbars in that situation. That could have lead to him getting really hurt and his family being defenseless.
I don't even dislike Ryron and Renee. In fact, I quite enjoy their breakdowns.
I just can't vibe with the way Ryron's approached his match with Galvao. Or his dishonest marketing afterwards.
How about for their next match they do it in Combat Jiu Jitsu? Lets see how good the stalling from bottom strategy works when your opponent is on your level and can hit you.
I don't understand training something that's not going to work against someone at your own skill level. Things that...
You need to look as far as MMA to see the positional hierarchy at it's finest.
What happens to fighters who spend the fight trying your stall on the bottom from guard? They get punched in the face for 15-25 minutes AT BEST. At worst? They get pounded out pretty quickly.
The guys who end...
This is exactly why this "self-defense" BS doesn't make sense.
Pass guard? You've now eliminated 90% of your opponents offense. You get two points for that. Achieve mount or back mount? You've put yourself in a position where you have 100% of the offensive potential. You get four points. Now...
This point doesn't make sense. 10th Planet is a completely different style than BJJ in the same way that Sambo or Luta Livre are different. To associate them with normal no-gi BJJ is a bit dishonest at best.
And no-gi training makes you better at scrambling, guillotines, wrestling, etc.. there are trade offs to both styles, one isn't superior. If you can't develop your guard without a gi, you're not magically going to be Braulio Estima with one.
At the end of the day, thinking the gi has...
Ugh, accidentally hit enter and I can't edit. You call out Sherdog for their rankings lacking consistent logic and you get dubbs. Lol.
Ryron's goal was to not get submitted so he could spin this as a "moral" victory and use it to sell his product. He never intended on actually trying to win...
I have the utmost respect for Roger, Royler, Renzo, Clark, Kron, et al...
Rener and Ryron are creating a cult that defends them at every turn. No matter what they do, there are these mindless drones drinking their koolaid acting like Ryron or Renee want them for something other than their money.
I like the Gi, but this has always been a bunk argument. All the top no-gi guys started training in a gi, simply because that's how most BJJ is taught. If you took the gi off of Marcelo Garcia and gave him the same training environment, do you really think he'd be worse off?
There's no actual...
