Re: gi or no gi?
Real men (ladies have more sense) wear (mixed modern style) olive oil and fundoshi - this helps prevent grappling attacks!
Traditionalists wear judo keikogi - this invites attacks of all kinds and it is not underwear (more like jammies/burial garments, on account of all the invited attacks).
Those of a classical bent wear geta, kimono (fundoshi underneath) and haori perhaps also a bowler hat (reformed classical) - presents an aura of sophistication and indominability - maybe the daisho help here.
The ancients had no access to olive oil so they just wore fundoshi. Of course they trained by grappling with large boulders and goblins.
