On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene answer a question from Andy who says he isn’t enjoying training in the Gi anymore and wants to eventually focus on MMA. So he wants to know, “Is the gi necessary?”
We discuss the importance of goals to dictate your training, Chewy talks about how his opinion on the Gi has changed over the years, the law of specificity, if the Gi is more technical, Chewy’s definition of being “technical,” why you should do both Gi and No-Gi as a beginner, the pros and cons to training both and training Gi or No-Gi exclusively.

0:00.0 | What up, guys? Welcome to the Jitsu podcast. And today we're going to talk about a topic that maybe, I don't know that it'll ruffle any feathers because it's not really our modus operandi. Right. But we're going to talk about whether or not the ghee is necessary. I got this question from a young fella named Andy who basically said he's been doing jihitsu for a while. Trains Jiu-Jitsu ghee and no-gi currently, three days a week each, three days of |
0:23.8 | G-Gee, three days of no-g-ghi, really enjoys no-ghee, but he's finding that his G-Gee classes |
0:27.6 | are becoming more like a chore, not really enjoying them. |
0:30.7 | And so he's curious if there's any good reason he should be doing the G-G training. And so I sent him a message back. I said, |
0:37.7 | Andy, what are your goals? And his goals right now, he's just kind of doing it for fun and |
0:41.9 | enjoyment because he's in nursing school and he's in, you know, school. So he's focused |
0:45.3 | on that right now. But he's a young fella, 24 years old. And he said, man, I'd like to maybe |
0:50.1 | at some point get into mixed martial arts, maybe do a fight or two or whatever. And so, you know, down the road, that's his goal, is fighting. |
0:57.2 | And so I figured we touched on the topic about whether or not the ghee is necessary |
1:01.7 | in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and grappling because a lot of people have thoughts and ideas on it. |
1:06.3 | And I will share this with you guys getting into it that, you know, my views on this |
1:10.1 | have shifted |
1:10.8 | over the years. And hopefully you guys get a couple ideas to chew on. As always, thanks to our |
1:15.6 | sponsors for helping make the podcast happen. Charles Webb CBD, if you guys have never checked |
1:19.9 | them out before, or if you have been interested in CBD, but you've never used Charles Webb before. |
1:24.9 | Again, I encourage people to try it out on sort of a month-long |
1:27.9 | trial basis, if you will. Anytime I'm trying a new supplement, I want to see what the effects |
1:33.1 | are. And so I use it really consistently for a month and then sort of back off to kind of see what |
1:37.1 | I feel from it. I did the same thing with CBD years ago. I felt a positive effect from it, |
1:41.9 | primarily with my, for me, it's more of like a related to sleep, right? |
1:47.9 | That's what I use CBD for. |
1:49.5 | And I've been using their CBN supplement, which is called stay asleep, which again is designed to help you stay asleep. |
