JUDOGI/CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS

A traditional white or blue Judo Gi is required for practice, with a white undershirt for females.  Other types of Gis for Karate or BJJ are not suitable for practice due to the gripping and grappling nature of Judo.

For first time classes wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt is recommended, and Judo Gis can be purchased online from Matsuru or in person at Mikado Martial Arts

​

Please note that Judo Gis shrink when put into a drying machine, please ensure you discuss proper sizing and care with whomever you purchase from.

As we are in a small gymnasium, we will require all Judoka to have proper indoor footwear that is placed on at the entrance of the gym.  No outside shoes are allowed on the floor, and must be placed in the cubbies that are located at the entrance.  We suggest sandals, or anything that is easy to slip into.

It is also highly recommended to bring a water bottle to class, and all water bottles will be placed ontop of the mat storage container during practice.  No water bottles are allowed to be on the floor next to the mats.
