The main difference between Gi and No Gi is in the clothing. Gi jiu jitsu is a grappling style in which you must wear a traditional Gi uniform. The Gi uniform consists of a jacket and pants that are made out of thick cotton.
However, Gi is more than just a piece of clothing in jiu jitsu, as it plays a crucial role in the way you carry out the techniques. You can use it to get a hold of the rival, execute various Judo throws, or submit them.
“No Gi” is a style in which you don’t have to wear a Gi uniform. Instead, students usually wear clothing made out of elastic materials like polyester. The most popular clothes among No Gi grapplers is the rash guard, but you can also wear regular workout shorts/tights and a T-shirt.
