The Lucky Gi/Kimono is one of the flashiest gi’s out there.  It has a really cool logo on the back, but an even cooler pattern on the inside.  The inside lining has tiny Lucky logos all over.  The gi is not just about looks though, it is CBJJ approved and very durable.  It is a [...]

Choosing a Cup for MMA Training

October 12, 2008 · Filed Under Training Gear · Comment 

Why do I need a cup?  Aren’t groin shots illegal in MMA?
Yes, they are, but there are many instances where you can receive a kick or a knee to the groin by accident.  Even in pure grappling, when you are rolling around with somebody it is possibly to get hit or have some sort of [...]

Choosing a Gi for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

September 15, 2008 · Filed Under Training Gear · Comment 

Can I use a judo/tae kwon do/ karate gi for BJJ?
