Holiday Gift Guide · For New Students
They just signed up. Help them start strong.
Walking into a first Jiu-Jitsu class takes courage. The right gear keeps them coming back: a second kimono for laundry days, no-gi gear, and a bag to carry it all. Jiu-Jitsu For Everyone starts here.

After the first class
What a new student needs next
Most new students get their first kimono from their school when they sign up. Here's what keeps them coming back to class:
- A second kimono, so they never miss class waiting on laundry
- A ranked rashguard in their belt color for no-gi classes
- Training shorts for no-gi classes
- Compression pants to wear under the kimono or the shorts
- A bag to carry it all to class
Three things to know before you buy
-
Find out what they already have
Every Gracie Barra school follows the same uniform guidelines, and no-gi classes call for a ranked rashguard in their belt color. If they already have a kimono from their school, a second one or a ranked rashguard is the gift they'll use next.
-
Get their height and weight
That's all you need to choose a size. Tap “What’s my size?” on any product page and it recommends the right one.
-
Order early
Check our holiday shipping dates so the gear is there before their next class.
Build their starter kit
Each kit has the four things they'll use every week: a second kimono for laundry days, a white ranked rashguard and training shorts for no-gi classes, and compression pants for both.
