Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between Gi and No Gi?

    Gi jiu jitsu requires a uniform. The uniform consists of a gi jacket and pants, along with a ranking belt.

    No Gi is preferably practiced in rash guards and shorts that do not have zippers or pockets.

  • What do I need to bring to class?

    We always recommend bringing your own water bottle. Clean, intact gear is required, as well as a clean uniform or clothing. A mouth guard and towel are optional, but recommended.
