I am thinking to drop gi training all together for a couple of reasons:
- I have been training solidly for a few years, can take 50% or more of the blue belt I train with but have not been promoted yet due to all the travelling and not having a stable home base gym. I have had people accusing me of faking my belt when visiting new gyms (like why the fuck would I do that, this is normal training not competition).
- When you stay less than 6 months in a place is a pain travel with the gi, washing it everytime and dry it since you only have one etc. Buying a new one everytime can get expensive too. Just so much easier to pop a couple of rash guards in the suitcase and be done.
What are your guys thought? I love gi and I am worried this might fireback as when I will decide to be more stable and train consistently in a gym I would be left behind..
