When you’re a beginner and you walk into Legion for your first class…
….you will receive a kimono, more commonly known as a gi (short for judogi) and a (white) belt.
Unless you’ve done martial arts before, you’ll probably be very confused.
How do you tie these weird pants, which side is forward? How do you tie the belt around your waist?
Get ready for Keenan to answer both of those questions.
