Andrew Smith is an instructor at Revolution BJJ in Richmond VA. He's a first-degree blackbelt in BJJ under Julio “Foca” Fernandez. Smith is a three-time Pan champion (plus a silver and a bronze), a 20x US Grappling champion, and a decorated judo blackbelt. He wrote a nice two-part series on why it's good to train both gi and nogi. I thought the second half, on how nogi helps your gi game, was a good reminder for me and maybe a bit of a kick in the pants to get me out of my kimono a little more often.
