The top nogi guys all swear by the gi. "Nogi4lyfe" guys will always be butthurt about this.
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 proof that the gi does anything for ones no-gi game outside of bro science passed on by old school BJJ players. Maybe it does help, but there's no actual proof of it.
