Is there any Martial Arts schools which teach Judo without a Gi ?

Would that be much beneficial during an actua encounter, or for competition, or would it really make a difference? Thanks. Peace be to you.

Is there any Martial Arts schools which teach Judo without a Gi ?
Well judo is meant to be taught with a gi, as a good many techniques are applied by using the lapels and sleeve for grip. It is completely transferable though to the arm and neck clinch. When i train in mma i use judo techniques against my gi-less opponents and they work just fine, some times better because other judoka are more experienced in the techniques i am appyling and better capable to block them.


But mma places do teach judo techniques and judolike techniques if there is a good grappling instructor there, i would advise though that you get a few years of other martial arts under your belt before going into mma, so you actually have a base to work off of. But yes, regular judo is fine, and if you learn gi-less techniques, it can actually work quite well in competition because few judoka know what the hell is going on and gives you a certain element of surprize.
Reply:Most judos will teach no gi from time to time, you could also search around for true MMA schools to go to that might teach at least basic no gi judo. You were saying in real life but in real life a Gi is very similar to a shirt or jacket once you get a hold of something. My advice would be just to find a regular judo school.
