Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu GiBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often taught in a Gi or Kimono with a belt of one of several colors to signify rank. The ranks go up from white, blue, purple, brown and finally black. The rank of black belt usually takes eight to ten years to attain and is considered the hardest black belt to attain in any martial art. The gi is similar in design to a Judo Gi and is made to withstand the demands placed on it by throws, submissions and the overall wear and tear of grappling. The gi offers a slower and more defensive-minded side to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Training in the gi is especially important for newer grapplers in that it really helps establish fundamentals. In addition there are several chokes and holds,typically involving the lapel or collar, that are exclusive to the gi. The gi is different from other uniforms in that it is integral in controlling and ultimately submitting your opponent. The gi is an integral part of no only the sport, but also the culture of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. While there is a battle over influence between gi and no gi grapplers, many utilize both styles to enhance all aspects of their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Learn to Grapple is a site that offers both techniques to the benefit of all. Learn to Grapple has a plethora of videos on Gi grappling. All the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction found on Learn to Grapple are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black-Belts. The videos are designed to give you the best experience and provide a real learning opportunity for students of any level.
