Dress code at Ichinen Bridport

As we train the traditional Art of Jiu-Jitsu, we wear generally a Jiu-Jitsu Gi, which is much the same than a Judogi. Usually a white one, but as from blue belt level upwards it is fine to wear the black one too. Black is more suitable for the outdoor sessions, a blue belt student and higher has to perform.
The Gi is held together by a belt. The student colours are:
white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown. The Master shows a black belt.
Additional we use light boots to protect the feet and too for hygiene reasons. Those they haven't the boots yet, should wear black socks or train bare feet.
For the warming up we use a black T-shirt. Any decoration, like finger rings, ear rings etc. need to be removed before the class or covered with a plaster (ear rings) if not removable.

There is no need to mention, that the uniform has to be kept clean and in good order at all times. It's fair towards your friends on the mat and a good sign of discipline.

On the left side of the jacket we show the AMA badge.
Of cause any beginners may train in any suitable sports wear. You only need the Gi when you start for your first grading.
