No-gi BJJ has gained popularity for several reasons. One reason is that it closely simulates real-life self-defense situations, as people usually don't wear gis in everyday life. Another reason is that no-gi BJJ tends to be faster-paced and more dynamic since there are fewer grips available without the gi fabric. In terms of techniques, no-gi BJJ places more emphasis on controlling an opponent using underhooks, overhooks, and body positioning. While many techniques from gi BJJ can still be applied in no-gi, certain grips and submissions that heavily rely on grabbing the gi lapels or sleeves may be modified or removed. Whether you choose to practice gi BJJ, no-gi BJJ, or both, each style offers unique advantages and challenges. Some practitioners enjoy training both to develop a well-rounded skill set, as the strategies and techniques from one style can complement and enhance those in the other.
