A Gi (sometimes referred to as Kimono) is the uniform that is typically worn when training Jiu-Jitsu. It consists of 3 pieces: a jacket (or top), pants, and a belt. The material in which the three pieces are made is specially reinforced to withstand the rigors of daily practice. Most practitioners of Jiu-Jitsu who advocate the usage of the Gi cite the more technical aspect of grappling with a Gi.
Legion Jiu Jitsu / CheckMat Nashville is an excellent place to train for anyone looking to learn self defense and fundamentals as well as those interested in high level competition. First-rate instruction and the community is friendly, respectful, and supportive. Head professor Sean is an outstanding teacher and provides positive instruction for everyone, regardless of prior experience. All of the other professors and coaches are amazing as well. Membership allows you to train at their other locations and they have options for different class times throughout the day. Strongly recommend to anyone interested in learning BJJ or stopping by for a visit!
Dropped in for the BJJ Basics class while on a trip. Class was great: excellent coach, great team, and quality instruction. If I lived in Nashville I’d be a member.
I attended my first class at Legion Jiu Jitsu Nashville today and had a great time. The professor, as well as the students were very welcoming. Overall it has a great vibe. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a gym to train!
