WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO CLASS?
Each martial art is specific when it comes to the equipment you need to bring to class. Here’s what you need to bring to each of the martial arts programs at the Frota Academy.
BJJ
For your first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) class, we will lend you a kimono (BJJ gi). We have all sizes, so not to worry. After the first class is done, you’re expected to acquire the official Frota Academy gi.
For more information on the kimono/uniform etiquette, please visit the uniform rules page.
It’s also necessary that you bring a mouthguard to BJJ classes, as well as flip-flops.
All of this is also true also for the “BJJ For Kids” classes.
MMA
If you already have boxing or MMA gloves, please bring them to your first MMA class. If you don’t have them, we will lend them to you.
However, bear in mind that you’ll have to acquire your own gloves to continue training.
Also, bring shorts, a T-shirt, flip-flops, as well as a mouthguard.
No tank tops are allowed, nor shorts with metal details or an exposed zipper.
