  • Gordon Ryan made no gi grappling popular but gi competitions are better
    Apr 28 2026

    The elite gi grappling scene is where the best BJJ competition is happening right now.


    No gi jiu jitsu has seemingly had the most popular events in recent years, boosted by the influence of Gordon Ryan.


    The Jiu Jitsu Oracle's highest engagement has been when ADCC and CJI are happening.


    But the most famous no gi athletes, Gordon and Craig Jones, appear to be retired.


    And the best grappling matches are currently happening in the gi in the IBJJF.


    Those tournaments have the deepest divisions and lots of exciting contests at each major.


    So host Ross has stated that the elite gi competition scene is better than no gi.


    Joining him to discuss that theory is Will Weisser of jiujitsu.net
