About this deal

If you train more than 2-3 times per week, it is a good idea to have at least 2 Gis because then you can alternate between wearing one and washing one; meaning you always have a clean, dry, and fresh smelling Gi, ready for training. For example, one of my Gis is made out of 100% cotton – while another one of my Gis is 60% cotton/ 40% polyester, with the pants being 20% cotton/ 80% polyester. If you are training No-Gi, whether you’re wearing Jiu-Jitsu shorts or Gi pants, some instructors like their students to also wear their belts during No-Gi training.

Some BJJ schools will not promote you if you only train No-Gi, meaning they will require you to also train in the Gi to be eligible for belt promotions.Keeping your feet warm, particularly at the start of class, will help avoid sprains and similar injuries to the toes. Hygiene In BJJ you can wear headgear during training, such as a hard or soft-shell ear guard, to help prevent you getting cauliflower ear. I’ve got some exciting news to share with all of you today: I’ve successfully thrown a one-two punch and landed the acclaimed martial arts blog, Breaking Grips (formerly breakinggrips.com), into our family. There can be size differences between each brand – and even different sizes between Gi designs from the same brand.

In BJJ training you can wear kneepads if you feel you’d like to add some extra protection between your knees and the mats. I think we generally neglect our feet during exercise. As a minor scratch starts to change colour and ooze fluid, nothing happens. The usual thing is to apply something, tape it up and carry on. Occasionally that will be enough. Often, especially with MRSA, you will need to see a doctor. If you can’t get an Upper Arm Sleeve, the WHOOP Bicep Band is your second-best option – but you may find it moves around more, and may even come off during training. 6. Can You Wear Wrestling Shoes in BJJ?Likewise, most Jiu-Jitsu gyms don’t allow bare feet off the mats, which is why you see an army of sliders/ flip-flops lined up alongside the mats. The main difference between gi and no-gi training is the type of clothing worn during training, with gi training involving a heavy, traditional uniform and no-gi training involving more lightweight, athletic clothing. In most traditional jiu jitsu classes, it is customary to train barefoot. This is because it allows for better grip and traction on the mat, as well as greater flexibility and mobility for your feet. If your first class is Gi training, then the instructor will more than likely have a spare Gi for you to wear on top of your shorts and t-shirt. Your BJJ Gi will shrink if you wash it on a high heat and tumble dry it. To reduce shrinkage, its best to wash your Gi on a low heat and to hang it out to air dry (avoid tumble drying your Gi).

I’ve always been impressed with the Breaking Grips’ team awesome breakdowns of Gi and No-Gi Jiu Jitsu gear, their training and workout tips geared for MMA fighters, as well as their insights on the financial side of martial arts.The Gi (also known as a Kimono) is the traditional uniform for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is how most students start their Jiu-Jitsu journey wearing. In No-Gi BJJ, you can wear a rash guard, spats (or compression shorts), and Jiu-Jitsu shorts; as these are the standard outfit/ uniform which are worn all around the world. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training is normally done in a Gi which is the traditional uniform for martial arts. Gi’s are available in many colors but the most common in BJJ is white or blue.

Use liquid soap or something else to start with, such as soapy water, if liquid soap is not available. Not all schools will make you wear spats under your shorts, but most will require you to buy a rash guard to be worn under your Gi. But you may gain a slight advantage in certain positions and submissions by being less slippy and having more friction on your legs from the Gi fabric. 5. Do You Need To Wear a Rash Guard & Spats for BJJ? However, headgear is much less commonly worn in BJJ than in wrestling because of a couple of reasons:When you’re grappling in close proximity with your training partner, zips can cause serious cuts or eye injuries. In BJJ, spats are baselayer compression leggings – also known as tights –and are worn under Jiu-Jitsu shorts.
