Who fights and what disciplines?

Traing with a Gi is fine for self defense purposes, where you are most likely to be wearing clothes if you are in a situation where you need to apply the art. In MMA you are wearing a pair of shorts, so techniques you learned that require a gi are not going to help you.

I'm not advocating training only Gi and forgetting about no-gi. I was simply pointing out that the statement "Gi has no real world applications" is flawed. I think that both need to be trained and both have their uses.
