| 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 club. Pricing
depends on size. |
