Buying your First Jiu Jitsu gear, What you'll Need

Welcome to Jiu Jitsu Hustle, In today's video I go over and answer a lot of common questions about buying your first jiu jitsu gear. Here is everything youll need to know to start training.

[@timothyferrell245]

1st thing you need is a pineapple for the instructor you're visiting. It is a customary Brazilian gift.

[@HillebrandJiuJitsu]

LOL

[@itscork]

Take an acai smoothie.

[@HillebrandJiuJitsu]

UPDATE to this comment
Someone brought in pineapple....
LMAO

[@Watergunner]

thanks a lot they laughed at me

[@theItalianshamrock]

Bring a caipirinha or some coxinha. If they're from Brazil they will appreciate it

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Amazon carries a brand called elite $57 for a gi with white belt. $20 for fight/board shorts $15 for spats $20 for rash guard. They hold up really well and you can’t beat the price if your new to the sport I’d give them a shot.

[@shadymilkman443]

True. Durable starter gi

[@jaye2491]

Elite sports has great stuff. My black gi is still my training gi of choice. 👌

[@katherine9068]

thank you!!! I have never tried bjj before and i wasn’t worried about what to bring to my first class because i was prepared!!

[@HillebrandJiuJitsu]

Katherine I Welcome to Jiu Jitsu! Enjoy the journey

[@shadowbladex4995]

My daughter and son are starting to practice jujitsu and im so excited for them. 👍😁thanks for the info and you got yourself a sub my friend.

[@HillebrandJiuJitsu]

Happy to hear it, wish them best of luck on the Jiu Jitsu Journey

[@thechronic9373]

This is great advice for ur first jiu jitsu class the main thing for me is the sandels it saves so much time

[@harrypoosie3035]

It’s funny cuz the whole time you’re talking, I’m thinking “this dude hasn’t mentioned a cup once”. Yesterday I started my first class at 10p, and we were practicing this pass into side control. Me, brand new, fucked it up 47 times before I could get it right...including accidentally knee my partner in the sack (who wasn’t wearing a cup) luckily I was able to stop the weight from coming down so he claimed no pain, just a tap, but I felt so bad. Now, my jock strap is in the laundry and I have class. I feel revenge on its way

[@khadarabdi2874]

LMAO did he get his revenge Harry?

[@harrypoosie3035]

khadar abdi lol, HE didn’t, but karma came in the form of a “new” student who absolutely smashed me the next day. He wasn’t new, just switched schools and stayed quiet about his experience. 😂

[@khadarabdi2874]

@@harrypoosie3035 LOL! a cheeky son of a bitch did you dirty.

[@MrCmon113]

Problem is that a lot of stuff becomes much easier with groin protection. Like triangles and armbars. Also I feel like it's pressing into my opponent during a back take.

[@JEST3R_]

Dude this video is a MUST watch. I'm about to go to my first BJJ class next week and I'm super excited

[@bryanm5233]

How did your class go?

[@Droiduxx]

Hey, thanks for the advice !
Why do you say we shouldn't use an antibacterial soap ?

[@peterli8425]

Whats the difference from jiu-jitsu rash guard vs normal Nike or under armour compressed shirt?

[@snatchX626]

great vid. if i may ask, why shouldn't we use anti-bacterial soap?

[@shanenathaniel1605]

I'm sorry but I laughed a bit when he got closer to the camera and said swimming trunks🤣

[@sabiondo1629]

What about headgear?

[@Philo68]

What is soap?

[@ubaidullahhassan3203]

Why shouldn't we use anti bacterial soap?

[@ubaidullahhassan3203]

Never mind just read your response to someone else's question.

[@HillebrandJiuJitsu]

This link should help, the primary problem is that it actually leaves you more susceptible to really bad antibiotic resistant bacteria like staph.

[@monster3478]

Thanks!

[@riandunneleavy4161]

Are compression shorts okay

[@MrCmon113]

Nah, spats plus rashguard.
If you've never wrestled, you're probably gonna rub open your knees if you're not wearing spats.

[@harveyjones7891]

I really struggle with a cup so hard to triangle

[@jaimenoble]

Question do you wear your boxers and then your jujitsu leggings then shorts?? Or do you need specific jujitsu boxers?

[@riandunneleavy4161]

It depends if your wearing board shorts then ye wear boxers if your wearing tight compression shorts then you don't have to

[@MrCmon113]

Any boxers with a high amount of synthetic fibers will do. High polyester or something.
But they will probably tear over time anyways.

[@Mitchlom]

I am a bit confused are you allowed to wear a T-shirt under your gi

[@OozyImp]

Why not use anti bacterial soap?

[@BobBob-il2ku]

It kilss both the bad and the good bacteria and you need the good bacteria

[@HillebrandJiuJitsu]

Robert summed it up perfectly. It kills everything good and bad. Making you actually more susceptible to getting some really bad skin infections.

[@PrivilegedPat]

Thank god I get a discount and Sport Chek lol

[@carlosandres1835]

Perdona que te sal-Pique

[@ParisLawLess]

So if you are wearing spats with no shorts on over them why do you need to wear a cup? I have been traing mma along with BJJ for 4 years and never heard anyone say something like that.

[@manboymanboy3946]

I wanna get a mouth piece but my teeth are fucked up so they don’t fit

[@dynamicmotion1735]

Get some braces you donut

[@kotaman232]

Mouth guard?

[@dailyplanet354]

I've received a couple of (unintentional) hits in the mouth during jiujitsu lessons. So yeah, it's quite useful.

[@punkpendulums]

timestamps your video dude

[@conor-_C]

What about pants under the gi

[@MoooseBlood]

Conor Condon Spats

[@conor-_C]

yes @@MoooseBlood

[@dawnkeyy]

I sometimes get mat burn on my knees. So i say i have red knees from bjj. What a difference one "j" can make.
Anyway, i haven't tried any spats yet, but i imagine it would be helpful with that.
