Equipment/Attire
-
BJJ classes are categorised as either ‘Gi’ or ‘No-gi’. For Gi classes, a heavy-duty Gi and a ranked belt are required. A rash guard under the Gi jacket is optional. No-gi attire can include a rash guard or t-shirt, fight shorts (ideally without pockets), and long spats if necessary. Mouthguards are recommended (personal preference).
