Episode 322: Does your school have a strict uniform policy? Maybe your coach doesn't care what brand you wear. Uniform is a solid part of the BJJ Gym business but also helps bond the team together. But if you can't choose where you buy your Gi and rash guards is that fair or just another hidden scam within Jiu-Jitsu culture? There are arguments on both sides for and against uniform policies.
A big team showing up to a competition unified and all wearing the same brand and colours looks professional and can really help give you a sense of belonging- being part of something. But being told you can only wear and have to purchase over priced team merch might be a deal breaker. JT and Joey unpack how this side of the BJJ business can really change your experience for the better and for the worse. Let us know what you think about JIu-Jitsu uniform policies in the comments.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
