Fashion news: Blue is in this season
Blue or White Judogis can now be worn in training, competition and at gradings.
After recent feedback from students and instructors, the tertiary board of The Jiu Jitsu Foundation unanimously voted this week to allow anyone to wear a blue judogi, instead of the traditional white one.
TJJF prides itself on being a progressive martial arts organisation, while also being respecting of our tradition and roots. Consequently, although this is probably the first major change to our uniform in the last twenty years, it has been universally welcomed.
SJC instructors have already embraced this and were sporting new blue gis at our Monday session. We look forward to wearing them at the upcoming atemi nationals in November.
Students should note that we request please, if possible, for either a white or blue to be worn and not a mix and match of the two.
