At Atlantic Jiu Jitsu, we know it is important for our members to wear the correct clothing when training.
Uniform rules are important for many reasons, Mainly to reduce the chance of injury, but also to give an aesthetic standard to our team. A clean training environment is vital for students to focus on learning, personal pride in your training equipment helps focus a students thoughts on the importance of their chosen craft and shows respect to fellow training partners. As no one wants to training with someone with smelly ripped training gear.
We ask that our members wear appropriate clothing for training:
Gi Jiu Jitsu Training:
- A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gi must be worn for all Gi classes
- Gi’s may be white, blue or black ONLY! No other colours permitted. The jacket must be of the same colour as pants.
- Kids Classes: White and Blue gi’s only
- Uniform must be clean and rip free.
- If you are a beginner and do not own any type of Gi it is recommended that you wear shorts or jogging bottoms and a t-shirt.
- Wear team patch on gi.
- Please do not wear pink, red, camo, two-tone fashion gi’s, etc… We are here to train jiu-jitsu – it’s not a fashion show.
- A Judo Gi or Karate Gi is unsuitable for Jiu Jitsu Training
- Please avoid clothes with zips/buttons and jewelry as this can cause harm to you or others when training.
- Please avoid purchasing Gis with the jacket made of rip-stop material as these have resulted in a lot of finger injuries when breaking grips (E.g Adidas Response Gi)
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Training:
No-Gi Jitsu is conducted without the Gi (Jiu-Jitsu Uniform).
All students are required to wear:
- A Ranked colour Rashguard at least 10% of your rank colour
- Board shorts must be worn
- Grappling leggings can be worn under shorts
