Do you prefer the Gi? (or no-gi)

I like training both…But as I get older I do prefer the technical pace of the Gi. You can’t get away with as much speed / athleticism / etc… With the gi you also have far more moving parts: Gi / Sleeves / Lapels /etc. Plus with the Gi you have more options / danger related to chokes. Without the Gi you are a bit more limited with strangulations. The Gi also seems more relevant to real life. Most people where I live wear coats / shirts / pants. As much as I say this… I take off the gi and am like, “Wow I love No-Gi”. So I guess I love both for different reasons. Kind of like your own kids… What an amazing sport that we can even choose.
