I am a huge proponent of training in a Uniform and also without one. I am also a huge proponent in training in your everyday clothes. What I advocate against is not having skill sets in a certain area or limited skill sets. That limitation could be a huge disadvantage in a personal protection situation. If somebody breaks into your bedroom in the middle of the night you probably won’t have much on in the way of clothes. So you better know how to grapple or defend yourself without them in that type of situation. Likewise if you are out and about in the fall or winter time then you probably will have some clothes on and just possibly a coat or a heavy sweatshirt. So you should be prepared to grapple or defend yourself in clothes that could be used like a uniform.
