What is the difference between gi and no-gi BJJ?
Quick answer: Gi BJJ uses the jacket for grips. No-gi is rashguard grappling. A trial can start in athletic clothes either way.
Gi: grab the uniform. No-gi: underhooks and body control without cloth grips.
Which is right for a beginner?
Ask which hour your city is running that week. Do not buy a gi before the trial.
Do I need a gi for night one?
No. Athletic clothes.
