People will still try and tell you that gi training doesn’t translate to anything else

I mean, at least from conversations I've had, gi training can be beneficial as hell for overall grappling from techincal point, at very least because you can't rely on slipping out of positions/holds nearly as much, so you gotta really know what you're doing

It's also very effective in preparation for self defense situations. hopefully not needed of course, but with most people wearing clothes.....prep work in the gi translates well.
