And I am not going to be one to argue with an expert like Mr. Burch. I am planning on going to one of his upcoming workshops on real world self defense, which BTW, is done in street clothes, so basically Nogi. But as a beginner, I am trying to develop capability from the ground up (pun intended) and from my humble perspective, I get more out of Nogi and I enjoy it more, so I will do it more. I may get back into Gi at some point, but that is where I'm at now.
