Gear Options

For your first few classes, regular gym attire is perfectly fine. Just ensure your clothing fits snugly, as loose fabric can catch on fingers or toes, potentially causing injury. Please avoid wearing fragrances or makeup, but we do appreciate good hygiene and the use of deodorant, as martial arts training involves close contact. Lastly, for safety reasons, all piercings and jewelry must be removed before class.

When you’re starting out in a new sport, it’s hard to know what you’ll need. We’ve added some suggestions below. We don’t recommend buying everything, of course, these are just items that we’ve noticed students use over time.

While we have loaner gloves and gis available in some sizes, we 100% recommend buying your own, once you decide to commit to training. Peter may have some gear available so get in touch with him at 902-830-9111 or speak to him after class.

All Programs

Below are products you can find on Amazon that students in all programs typically find useful. Keep your eye on BJJHQ for daily deals on gear and talk to your new teammates about what gear they recommend.

Under Armour Sports Mouth Guard, Custom Fit, Includes Detachable Helmet Strap, Youth & Adult Sizes – Mouthguards are required.
Revlon Nail Clipper – please ensure nails are cut short to avoid scratching partners. Students with long nails may be asked to sit out. Please cut your children’s nails regularly.
Goody Ouchless Women’s Braided Elastic Thick, Black, 27 Count – If you have long hair, please ensure that it is tied back, off your face and not kept loose. While we understand that sometimes hair is not long enough to braid, if hair is kept loose in a ponytail or other style, it is a hindrance to partners when they are trying to train as they have to make extra effort not to pull the hair during chokes or other techniques.
Adidas unisex-adult Adilette Aqua Slide Sandal – please ensure you have flip flops to wear while not on the mats. Shoes are not permitted in the gym and must be removed in the lobby.
Adidas Defender 5 Medium Duffel Bag (59L)
HELMDY Watch Travel Case – we ask that students remove all jewelry including rings, earrings, watches or any other items worn on the body. Piercings must be removed to avoid potential injury.
2Pcs Wet Dry Bags Waterproof Reusable Wet Laundry – keeps wet clothes from the rest of your gear after class
Botanic Hearth Tea Tree Body Wash – if you don’t shower at Titans, make sure you shower when you get home after every class to avoid skin contact concerns.
Baby Wipes, Huggies Simply Clean, UNSCENTED, Hypoallergenic, 1 Flip-Top Pack, 64 Count – If you choose not to shower at Titans after class, we recommend wiping down with baby wipes after class to decrease the chances of skin contact concerns, followed by a shower at home.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Striking

While we do have gear for students to borrow, we find that students prefer to purchase their own gear as striking gear gets pretty sweaty and smelly. Do you really want to put on a pair of gloves or headgear that someone else has covered in sweat? It’s not a pleasant experience.

To keep your gear fresh, we recommend cleaning items with wipes and giving them plenty of room to air dry after each use.

Bully Proof Kids Gear

Supplements

We’ve added lots of options but in the end, it’s up to you what you feel is necessary for class. You don’t have to buy everything at once, people typically buy what they want or need over time.

We’ll see you on the mats!
