I've noticed that too, especially in the gi compared to boxing. Lots more doctors / lawyers / engineers training in the gi. I think it's because we're all weak and need the grips to slow people down, haha. Well let me speak for myself, I'm weak and need the grips to slow people down.

Hah, could be a strength thing but most of the guys/gals Ive spoken with about it seem to join choose bjj over another martial art for the brain safety. Way less chance of a concussion in grappling than boxing, kickboxing or muay thai!

I prefer the Gi too, work on your monkey grip in no-gi if thats giving you problems though!
