You will receive your kimono on your first day*, which is the majority of your uniform together with your belt. Bring an extra t-shirt to wear under your kimono. Better yet, bring a rashguard. This is a special spandex compression shirt that we normally wear in jiu-jitsu (it doesn’t get in the way). Compression shirts and t-shirts work best.
Jiu-Jitsu is a physical combat sport, so **you will want to take a shower **after class. Bring a towel and whatever you need for a shower. Last but not least it’s wise to bring a water-tight bag for your sweaty clothes, so you can carry them out in your bag, without making it yucky.
Bring plenty of water in a reusable bottle, we also have a refill station if you run out.
Optional: Flip flops for your way from the changing room to the mats.
Hygiene info:
Please trim your nails short and be clean (i.e. have showered) before class, we are in close contact with one another and hygiene is a priority for everyone at Legion.
You NEED to wash your kimono (gi) after every class, hang it up to dry or dry it in a dryer on low so it doesn’t shrink too much. Read the Legion Hygiene Commandments here.
