Uniform Etiquette  

The Jiu-Jitsu Gi (uniform) is the formal Japanese name for the traditional uniform used in Jiu-Jitsu practice and competition. It is derived from traditional Japanese clothing. The Gracie family developed the original Jiu-Jitsu gi from the traditional kimono and other Japanese garments around the early 1900’s. The Jiu-Jitsu/Judo gi was the first modern martial arts training uniform. Over the years, the length of the pants and sleeves grew longer, and changes were made in the material and fit. The traditional unbleached cotton is now bleached white, although blue and pink are also available. Other martial arts, notably judo and karate, adopted the style of training uniform used in Jiu-Jitsu.

For the Muay Thai, Boxing, Kick Boxing aerobics and MMA classes, we urge you to wear a mouth piece, 14 or 16 oz. boxing gloves, shin pads, cup and upper body protection. It is mandatory to wear a rash guard or training t-shirt and fight shorts. Walking around the premises without a shirt is absolutely not allowed.
