I won't grab clothes either if the other person is no-gi, but I think it's open season on me if I'm wearing a gi. Other than the variety of grips the no-gi person has, he doesn't have any other advantages. Cause of your gi he won't be able to slip out of submissions as easily as when both are no-gi. I think it's great for training. You get a slight disadvantage, which isn't as bad as the disadvantage you get by tucking your arm in your belt and rolling one-armed.

It was frustrating, as he had a multitude of choices of grips and flexible hips. I spent the entire time trying to stay in the pocket as he tried to twist and turn for armbars and kept breaking my base as I tried to pass. I found myself at one point gripping his t-shirt (rashguard) above his shoulders and then quickly letting go because of 'my' code of not grabbing clothes. I still think that if you are no-gi and your partner is gi you should not grab his gi unless it is a drill. At the end of my last class I paired up with a guy with no gi.
