What to wear to class — adults, women, and kids. The first class only requires comfortable shorts and a clean T-shirt; the rest is once you commit.
For your free trial class, you don't need to buy anything. Just show up in comfortable shorts (no zippers or rivets) and a clean T-shirt or rash guard. We've got the rest.
For adult classes you'll wear a clean T-shirt or rash guard with shorts. Grappling shorts (no pockets) are preferred. Jean shorts and shorts with rivets are not permitted. Sleeveless T's and crop tops aren't permitted.
Once you decide to keep training, a couple of rash guards and grappling shorts will last you for years. We have some recommendations for you linked below.
The same as men's. If you prefer, you may wear leggings or spats instead of shorts. Women's-cut rash guards are widely available — just ask.
Plain white Gi for Gi class. Plain rash guard + shorts for No-Gi. Use the brand size charts to fit your child — Gis run a little long. We'll adjust if it's off.
Kids Gi (white). Kids rash guard. Kids shorts. We sell Mooresville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-branded kids gear at the front desk if you want the team look.
Wash all training clothes after every class. Shower before and after. Keep your nails short — long nails cause injury and infection during grappling. We clean the mats daily without exception.
Adult and women's training gear — three options for each piece. Pick the one that fits your budget and goals. Links open in a new tab. The Team Issue option is our official academy kit.
If you'd prefer, you may wear leggings or spats instead of shorts. Women's rash guards are also available on our website.
Plain white Gi for Gi class. Rash guard and shorts for No-Gi. Use the brand size charts — Gis run a little long, but we'll adjust if it's off.
Wash same-day. Add a splash of Odoban. Hang dry. Five quick rules and your gear lasts longer — and your training partners thank you.
Borrow a rash guard if you forget. The hardest step is the first one in the door — not the gear.
