We've been busy Lee's training and traveling! Over the last few weeks, we've been to the Gentle Art Lifestyle Winter Jiu Jitsu Camp and a Chris Paines seminar. We traveled throughout the Gulf of Mexico on a fantastically relaxing cruise and cornered two young fighters through their novice MMA fights! After the fights, we were talking about different perspectives on the belts we tie our gi's with and kept that conversation going in this week's episode. How do you view the cloth around your waist?

In the last two weekends, we went to two different seminars on side control, one of them was No-Gi and the other was a Yes-Gi seminar.  This sparked the age-old question, which is better than the other?  Is there a clear answer?  We dive into the topic and talk about what we've learned and experienced, as well as the significant differences you'll find.  Listen in to hear our answer!
