It's time to settle this once and for all Gi, or No Gi?

I’ve always wondered why it’s not legal for the majority of tournaments. Even ADCC only allows it when there’s a threat of a submission. I’m not talking about spiking on their head or neck but a slam. My thoughts are for youth and white belts probably keep them safe from themselves and not allow it. For all adult coloured belts, let’s see what happens. Easy way to not get slammed while triangle choking someone, let go of it, or lock up a leg to keep their posture broken. I bet you’d see some interesting developments in the Gi game. Also to those that jump guard and willing to risk blowing out your knees, you risk getting slammed via Seismic Toss, Machamp Style. Thoughts?

The first ever CJI tournament is in the books! My take: Pros: The innovations that separated them from every other Jiu-jitsu event - The Alley, multiple rounds, 10 point must, open scoring - all seemed to work great for the athletes, the viewers, and the sport! Obviously, the money for the athletes was the biggest game changer of all, with two new millionaire athletes in the sport. Lots of money raised for charities. Cons: The judges criteria seemed a little ambiguous in tightly contested matches. The worst example, IMO, was the -80 finals. I really felt they got round 4 completely backwards, and that would have changed who won the million. The Gabi vs Craig match was a total side show. That being said, I don't know how else it could have played out, but the circus aspect was a little cringe/embarrassing. Just my opinion. The animus with ADCC was taken too far. I get that they were trying to make a point, but ADCC is by far the most important tournament that our sport has. Watching the tone of the trolls online, they've made it a zero sum equivalence between CJI and ADCC. That's going to destroy ADCC in the long run. Something that took nearly 30 years to build, and is not easy to replace. Best case scenario: CJI sticks around and becomes the highest paying event in the sport. ADCC sticks around and grows their brand as well as their fighter pay. Everyone chills the F out with the negativity towards either, and we all win! What are your thoughts? ⬇️⬇️

I always thought it would be a great idea to have a map the shows open mats in areas and a short comment about the open mat (large space, caters to Gi more/Nogi more, etc)
