  • Is gi jiu-jitsu the pinnacle of martial arts, or does no-gi hold the crown in modern grappling? Join us as we explore this contentious debate with Joseph Worthington and JT Tenasti, who bring their expertise and passion to the discussion. We dive into the evolution of training practices and celebrate jiu-jitsu legends like Marcelo Garcia and Gordon Ryan. Whether you're a steadfast supporter of the gi or a no-gi enthusiast, you'll gain valuable insights on how each style uniquely shapes the sport and contributes to the future of jiu-jitsu.

    In our conversation, we spotlight the distinct paths to proficiency that gi and no-gi jiu-jitsu offer. Journey through the meticulous and detailed world of gi training with JT, who extols its virtues in building a solid foundation and enhancing one's technical repertoire. On the flip side, Joseph champions the dynamic and fast-paced no-gi environment, emphasizing its appeal to younger, athletic practitioners and those seeking a quicker route to competence. From the slow, intricate mastery of gi to the explosive rise of no-gi prodigies like Nicky Rod, we cover the spectrum of experiences and benefits each path offers.

    Finally, we delve into the broader implications of gi vs. no-gi within the martial arts community. Discover the traditional structure and disciplined approach of gi jiu-jitsu, which fosters values beyond mere technique. Contrast this with the sport-centric, mainstream appeal of no-gi, which promises greater professional opportunities and adaptability. Our episode culminates in a thoughtful discussion on the long-term sustainability and growth potential of both styles. As always, we're grateful for our dedicated listeners—your support propels us forward, and we can't wait to share these engaging conversations with you.

  • Do you struggle with No-Gi grappling? Do mainly train in the Gi but want to improve your No-Gi game?
    Recently a friend of the podcast confessed to Joey about sucking at No-Gi. The thing is they are really good in the Gi, so why is the Gap so great? The boys break down exactly why being raised in the Gi can teach you habits that will hurt you when you try to grapple sans pyjama. It's not just an athleticism thing, it's actually a different way of thinking about how to control another human. This may seem obvious on the surface but when all the control you are used to is stripped away, how do you rebuild your game- top and bottom? This episode serves as a different approach for the Kimono Killers to change their game so they can become a No-Gi Ninja.
