GI
Gi Jiu Jitsu is grappling with the use of a traditional Gi. This allows you to grab the clothing of your opponent. You can also use your own Gi to trap and submit your opponent.
NO GI
No Gi is grappling without the traditional uniform. Instead, shorts and a rash guard is worn. In No Gi, you cannot grab your opponents clothing and is generally much faster paced than Gi Jiu Jitsu.
