What are your thoughts around NO GI: are T-shirts and loose shorts okay to wear?
I understand tshirts if the guys are not too involve in the sport. I just wish some people will try to choose the tidest shirts at the closet ( I have a training partner who wears soccer's jerseys , yes the material is acceptable but the size is dangerous )
Also agree about wearing something under the shorts ;)
Great content ! I'm not a guy over 40 but I'm into BJJ and I love Nogi
Thanks 🙏. I appreciate your support and love having a woman’s perspective on this channel! Please keep the comments coming. Loose shirts can be a problem and should be discouraged by the instructor (in my opinion).
Man Unfiltered would you recommend the Sanabul mma shorts or the Sanabul spats ? Im wondering because im around 13 and started around 6 months agon and i dont k ow what certain brands I should use
thats how we used to do it in the early 2000s, we just took the gi top off and do a few rounds with just the shirts underneath or no shirt to practice no gi
@@midlifebjj can I wear pockets if it is my first day?
The most important thing in no-gi is to expose as much skin as possible. The most important thing after no-gi is bandaids.
😂 😂😂
Have my first class tomorrow. Thanks for the info!
Not related to this video, but thanks to all your videos I went tonight and signed up at my local GB gym. I start fundamental classes tomorrow! At 36 years old as a retired Marine (and disabled veteran, but I have all my limbs haha) I was hesitant to take on this venture but you have truly inspired me and I cant be thankful enough! Keep up the great work brother.
Thank you for your service and the kind words! Reading comments like this keeps me inspired to keep posting videos! Please come back and keep me posted on your journey! Oss brother! 🙏
Thanks so much for this video man. I’m starting no-gi classes and had literally no clue what to wear. The front desk people said I could wear gi pants and a t-shirt but that seems so counter productive to the point of no-gi.
It does seem counterproductive in a way. But a few times my school decided to go nogi at the start of class and of course all I had was my gi. So I went pants and no jacket. I discovered the biggest difference is how the techniques differ when you can’t grab sleeves or collars. Fewer techniques deal with pants control (at my level at least) so learning how to apply chokes and such against a person wearing a tee shirt is the real benefit. So if all you can do is wear the pants and a tee shirt, it’ll be fine!
Gi pants are fine...just beware that your opponent may use them to control you...much like they would in the Gi...if the culture is okay with a T-shirt - I wouldn’t rush out to buy anything until I was sure I was going to continue no Gi! As for the video....thank you for the video idea, brother! I appreciate your support! 🙏
Well said, friend!
Big congrats on the 500 subs. Appreciate your content so much. Knowing what to expect totally took the anxiety out of going to my first Gi class. Now I am 6 weeks in and loving it. Might check out no-Gi soon.
Henry Walton thank you! Really appreciate the support - truly. I’m really glad to hear these videos are helping folks get over the hump! Try out No Gi and let me know how you like it! 🙏👊
No-Gi classes can leave mats looking like small ponds with certain kinds of mats. I like to wear tights underneath shorts to avoid feeling a little icky when I slide into one . Also, I wear a rash guard with a t-shirt over it. However, I wear a dri-wick type of t-shirt and not the cotton kind. If you don't want to wring out your shirt, they are to be avoided. - If you do consider wearing gi-pants, just note in tight spots, some people will cheat and use them like in a gi class. With shorts, no one will bother because they know it's wrong. - As far as women are concerned, as I record video, I haven't been able to post certain rolls because my wife would cancel my membership if she saw some of the outfits some of the women have worn.
MouthGuardComic so true about the Gi pants...but also great advice for anyone that doesn’t have spats...just use your Gi pants...thanks as always!
MouthGuardComic I took my wife to a class once so she could see where I was spending my time. Wouldn’t ya know it, the kickboxing class wrapping up before BJJ was littered with 20-something chicks wearing outfits which don’t scream “This is a safe environment for your husband!” Fortunately she never said a word about it. I think all those girls leaving when BJJ started helped. 😂
@@midlifebjj Not a problem!
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures Lol!
I’ve got my first nogi class on Monday , less nervous now after watching this video thank you
Good luck buddy! Let me know how it goes.
@@midlifebjj my first class was hard but a lot fun, the drills are really hard the first time but after 3/4 times I got it , did a lot better then I expected , will defo be going back
I kid you not, just this past Thursday night, I was having a discussion with someone at the gym about what to wear on nogi nights. (I’ll be discussing promotions with someone on Monday. If you put a video out on Tuesday about that topic, I’m coming to find you...)
I can’t hear you man, I promise...🤣🤣🤣the question came from another subscriber...however!!!!!! Alexa hears everything. 🤨
I watched your other video "5 things every white belt should know" and I wish I watched it sooner! I have only done 2 classes so far & the first I messed my neck up so bad from not knowing how to fall properly lol! Loving your channel man, good to hear some honest advice aimed towards us newbies.
Glad to help brother....sometimes trial and error works too... hope you didn't get hurt too bad! Thanks for hanging out...Would love for you to subscribe if you haven't already!🙏👊
@@midlifebjj Already Subscribed :)
Awesome! Thank you...Hope that neck is doing better!
Thanks so much for covering this subject! As a beginner to No Gi (though experienced with Gi), in anticipation of my first class, I was genuinely curious what to wear in all areas
Anytime! Glad it helped! 🙏
great account for us bjj beginners to feel comfortable in the community
Thanks man....just trying to help
Skip to 1:59
I'm here because I'm going to my first class today. Thanks for the info. I will just wear a snug underwear and board short for now. The upper will be a short sleeve spandex.
Welcome! Consider subscribing if you haven’t already! How’d that first class go?
@@midlifebjj well it's only 10:45 AM here in South East Asia and the training is at 12:00. Already subscribed. Thanks for asking.
Understood...after you attend...would love to know what your first impressions are. Thanks!
@@midlifebjj awesome experience. I love it! Had a chance to roll with a big fella from the UK and one Cambodian guy. I'm going back for the second class of the day this evening.
Rock on! BJJ is a weird and beautiful thing that once you experience it, it’s difficult not to appreciate it. Even the folks who quit BJJ typically have a greater appreciation after trying it. Keep it going, brother!
500 subs at the time of the video and now you have 4k. Good stuff man!
Thanks, man! Appreciate your support! 🤙
Dude, I haven’t seen a new video in a week! I had to check my subscriptions to make sure I was still subbed. What’s up? You good?
Thanks for checking in on me brother! Yeah I’m all good....I’ve been struggling with a decision about BJJ - releasing a video on it tomorrow. It’s a video I’ve been wanting to record for a while but didn’t know what was going to happen....anyhow - I’ll get it out tomorrow - or maybe today...thanks for checking in and supporting me and the channel - really humbled by the channel’s growth and all the support from you guys...🙏
Man Unfiltered the struggle is real. I joined my school on a 3 month contract which ends this month. I’ve really enjoyed the relationships with the students but I’m having a hard time feeling like there is any rhyme or rhythm to the teachings. We have no curriculum so it kind of feels like I learn whatever the various coaches want to teach that particular.
On your advice, I bought the Jiu Jitsu Encyclopedia and it explains how each belt should have a dominant focus. As a white belt, I should be learning a lot about survival but instead, I’ve predominantly learned submissions.
I’m confused myself about what to do. I’d really like to attend a school which has a consistent coach (I seem to have about 3 different ones) and some stable curriculum. Like the Gracie Combatives course. I just don’t want to leave the school because I like the atmosphere.
I’ll be waiting with interest to hear about your struggle. Thanks for replying and I’m glad all is well with you brother. Take care!

Man...you’re hitting on so many things I was struggling with. Sorry for the delay on the video. This new job has taken up a lot of my time...I’m recording it this weekend - I don’t care how raw it is when I load it...I just want to share it because I think a lot of new folks go through this or will at some point...thanks for your support, man. Means the world! 🌍 🙏
Man Unfiltered absolutely Chad. Take your time, and thanks for letting me know. I’ve been using vacation time so I could stay by the refresh button on my subscription list! Ok, that’s a lie. Shame on me! 😎
Man Unfiltered I’m gonna do it. I’ve contacted the only Gracie certified training center in my area which is a one hour drive away. The instructor is giving me a private lesson and I hope it works out like it has in my head. I really crave the structure of the CTC and even though I will spend more in gas, the tuition is slightly less. I’m eager to hear how you’re doing. I know things are hectic for you but I hope all is well.
I know it’s pricey but definitely worth it! I use ICEBREAKER products. It’s merino wool, extremely breathable and zero smell/funk.
Huh...gonna have to check it out! Thanks for watching and commenting! Much appreciated!
Man Unfiltered of course!! I’m 44 and just started my journey. Does your place have a self defence program?
Jeffrey De Jesus no..I may be making a change soon...really struggling with it though. I’m planning on making a video soon to talk about it...mainly to share what’s happening and to get some input from this awesome community!
Man Unfiltered I also signed up for GRACIE UNIVERSITY
Jeffrey De Jesus how do you like it?
Thanks for making this! Question answered!
No problem!
How familiar are you with the textiles used in typical sportswear? Many of them have toxic components that are absorbed by our skin and eventually cause harm in the body. Do you have any advice on that?
No gi doesn’t mean naked. Again, no gi doesn’t mean no clothes.
I tend to do Eddie Bravo Style, Gi pants in no Gi as long as your professor is cool with it
Turn on the caption and and read what it says in the 1st 20 sec
😂😂😂😂😂
Icebreaker=no sweat build up, no smell.
Icebreaker? Not sure I've heard of that...
To add on for the females: please wear a bra (both gi and no-gi). Even if you dont need the support you do need the extra coverage that a tshirt just doesnt provide. Most awkward roll ever...
I hate long sleeve rashguards.
Are fight shorts acceptable for no gi? I’m new to no gi, and I have a pair of spandex UFC fightshorts that I got
I wear spats with loose shorts. I’m guessing the ufc spandex are similar to spats. If it were me, I’d wear loose shorts over the spandex…just my opinion.
@@midlifebjj noted. Thank you!
Anytime!
So with you best tactile judgement were you getting tapped by his balls or his shaft..? Asking for a friend..
It’s difficult to say....I just wanted it to be over. 😂😂😂
Can I wear socks or wrestling shoes during bjj?
I've seen wrestling shoes...but why? Can you not go barefoot?
Respectfully disagree about having to wear shorts over your spats.
Do you just wear spats? Nothing over them?
Yes sir, spats and either a long or short sleeve rash guard...but only at the mma/bjj gym, it looks funny anywhere else (the weightlifting gym, etc).
Hmm. Respect brother. Your confidence is greater than mine! 😂 appreciate the comment.
Answer: not a gi
😂
Thank you so much for these gems
Do I need spats?
I wear them on NoGi days but I don’t usually wear them under my Gi
What about no top at all?
I’d Nogi I guess it’s fine at some places...not sure if females would want to roll with a shirtless dude...but who am I to judge. Appreciate the comment. 🙏
What about basketball shorts ?
I wouldn’t wear basketball shorts...that’s just me though
I’m a girl so I just go with leggings and a rash guard or shorts with leggings under a little below my knee and a rash quard
Thank you!
Secure your meat and potatoes. Check.
Succinct and correct! 😂😂 Thanks brother!
I had to go to no gi commando one time, not it.
That’s hard core…😂
