Depends on where you're training. Gracie Barras and other franchise/cult-ish schools require you to buy their gis and only their approved colors. Make sure what the situation is before you buy anything.
Plain white is recommended for a beginner. While I'll limit the punishment to a single KOB for a stupid-flashy $$$ Shoyoroll or CTRL on a fresh white belt, some other schools might make you run the gauntlet because they're insecure about the scraps of cloth on your body. I'd avoid training at schools like that unless the instruction is world class. Wear what makes you feel good. Most of my Gis have come from BJJHQ sales or rolling deals. If you're looking for solid entry level (<$100) gear, you can't go wrong with the basic Fuji, Tatami, Sanabul, or the recently popular Tesla brand stuff. I personally wear Inverted Gear, Do or Die, and 93 Brand stuff but that's because their lightweight gis are super-light and it's hot and humid as a motherfucker down here (plus it means I don't have to cut as much weight since most Gi comps weigh you in with the gi on). If you don't feel like waiting for a BJJHQ deal, Rollmore is their regular site. Prices will be higher but it's a full selection rather than one deal a day and they do allow returns if you're unhappy with the product.

Incredibly helpful. Reps to you. Do you wash them? Dry clean? Regular washer and dryer?

Few pals are BJJ heads who have done it their whole life along with wrestle. When topics of training come up, these are the things discussed, staff infections due to dirty mats which I’m sure all GYMs have at one point or another. |

My gi is fire and I'm only a purple belt. I like nogi better tho that's why I didn't pursue my Brown belt. But I'm black belt quality at nogi, fell in love with it, but having the basics down from the gi helps a lot before starting nogi, atleast get a close to a blue belt before going nogi

Staph infections are far more likely from not washing your shit. Let me pause here and lol at you having multiple friends who have been training BJJ for their whole lives. The odds of that are on par with the odds of Lip Lipperson winning Sexiest Man of the Year. Like to think and have experience with are two different things. ALSO STAPH GODDAMNIT YOU FUCKING INGRATE good thread.

LIKE I SAID; That's like the GYM expecting everyone to wipe down equipment - and I'm sure the GYMs have the "same liabilities" a MMA gym would have. Your relying on human competence and lets be real, majority are lazy... |

it is a requirement of any decent bjj school to clean the mats daily if not after every class. the only place they don't do that shit is brazil, but being dirt poor has a lot to do with that.
