    Thumbs up I started BJJ!

    So I just had my first no gi BJJ lesson (1 on 1). Did drills, basic positions and escapes, was great fun

    Good luck, man. Is it expensive where you train?

    A) I live in Britain and B) I'm having private tuition, so it ain't cheap

    I don't think it's cheap anywhere. Are you only doing no-gi, or do they do it half'n'half? I liked gi training better, in my whole 2 month stint with BJJ....hahaha.....

    Just no Gi. Gi is only good if you want to compete in BJJ tournaments, which is pretty unlikely for me.

    Actually, it is the opposite. No gi is only good if you want to compete in submission grappling, mma, or fight at the beach. If you plan to use your BJJ in most realistic, real life situations where people walk around in pants, shirts, and jackets rather than speedos, board shorts and rash guards, gi is more applicable.
