Uniform

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's uniform is called a GI. It is a heavy uniform that provides handles for both classmates. The gi makes throws and control of your opponent much easier. Because the gi's can be a little rough on the inside, we suggest that all kids either wear a rash guard (explained later) or t-shirt under their gi until they get used to wearing the gi.

We will primarily be teaching the kids class in gi's. But we do occasionally have classes where we will teach with no-gi. On those days, we prefer to have the kids wearing rash guard/t-shirts and long sweats.

Rash Guard - A rash guard is what most people refer to as Under Armor. It is made from a material which wicks sweat away from the body. It also provides a great barrier between the gi and and children's sensitive skin. Most of the adult members have some form of rash guard and it helps tremendously.

Gi's are available for purchase at the Academy.
