re: Let's talk about Bruce Lee

I'll name drop a little for credibility's sake; Seth Petruzelli and Tom Lawlor (both good friends) haven't trained much in gi, but both are black belts. The person I got the brown belt from is co-owners of an mma gym w/ Seth and is a black belt under Marcio Simas. He barely ever trains in the gi.

I like to think I've earned those whippings.

I know what you mean, though. The more traditional guys (including Marcio) aren't against no gi, but only think you should be promoted through the gi.

Thanks for the info about Lee. I didn't know he was that into the grappling aspect.
