How Different Is The Transition From Gi To No-Gi?

Yep, sounds like a familiar experience.

I think you develop a lot of supplementary strength and skill with gi. The friction and restricted movement because of ability to hold on to a piece of clothing accounts for these developments.
Once those restrictions are removed you find you have a lot more freedom to have good flow.

I see you're in florida, where do you train at?

 

Lucky **** :-(

 

Explain. The Gi itself? The cheap ones are not that expensive at all.

Or the Gi training, which is somewhat true, but Gi trainers are usually always legit and under a system; not that no-gi guys aren't as well, but there are a few gyms out there that are just a bunch of guys rolling, no real qualified instructors, they tend to be no-gi.
