This article is for the first timers who have absolutely no idea on what to wear to BJJ class. I’m here to guide you.

Depends on what class are you taking, if you’re taking gi class, which requires you to wear a proper gi (kimono) then here is what I usually wear.

Sports bra- I wear this underneath the rash guard, you can get these sport bras from the sport clothing stores anywhere.

Rash guard- I wear this over my sport bra and underneath the gi, I feel like it prevents me from getting a mat burn, cuts, mat burns, and the spread of diseases cause you know everybody’s sweat is on the mat. It's the same material where you wear to surf. These rashies are available online or you can get it from the sport clothing store as well. Costs around 1,100 baht

Compression shorts- I wear this because it keeps my muscle support and it improves mobility. Plus, it keeps me dry so I don’t get rashes. You can get this shorts from any sport clothing store from 500 baht up to 1500 baht

Gi (kimono)- Gi is pretty costly, but it’s a life-time investment unless it’s ripped. People usually bought it online. The price starts from 3000 baht up to 20,000 baht.

Head guard- In Jiu jitsu, getting cauliflower ear is really common. In order to prevent your ears from getting cauliflower, wearing head guard is recommended. You can get them from FBT in Ramkamhaeng or online stores.

Mouth guard- You don’t want to break you teeth right? Wearing mouth guard will help protecting your teeth. I got them from the sport department at the mall but you can also buy them online as well.
