I just bought Eddie Bravo's book, Jiu Jitsu Unleashed. I just started to read it (I'm still wary of learning any martial arts techniques from books, but its useful stuff to learn) and I noticed the gi versus no-gi school of thought for Jiu Jitsu.
I personally thought Eddie makes a good point, one won't always be wearing a gi whilst fighting (especially those of us who intend to use BJJ for MMA fighting).
Most of the BJJ programs I've checked out offer a basic fighting course (gi) and then they allow the option of no-gi grappling courses. Any insights on this? I'm also curious as to why this is the case with most BJJ/Jiu Jitsu schools in general?
