Gi and Equipment Recs for BJJ

 
 

Training Gi

Solid training gi for the price. Make sure to follow instructions on sizing and care. It says preshrunk but still be cautious so not to shrink the material too fast by exposing to heat in the wash and dryer.

Beginner Companion Book

Saulo Ribeiro’s book is a picture-by-picture, step-by-step guide to a lot of Jiu-Jitsu beginners need to know. An excellent way for beginners (or past that as well) to supplement their BJJ classes and journey.

Training/Comp Rash Guard

Excellent for the price. Stick to your color of belt (except for black/white or black/black). Order exactly like you would wear a t-shirt.

Competition Gi

A very good gi for the price. IBJJF legal competition certified. Stick with the standard white, blue, or black for competitions as well. Refer to the IBJJF poster online or in the academy for guidelines on where it is legal to patch your gi for competition.
