We Do BJJ In Suits Because The Gi Is Unrealistic
If you’re familiar with myself or my gym, you know that I’m a goof and enjoy cutting up with my team.
At the gym we have several traditions. One such tradition happens every October. Every year during Halloween we have our funniest tradition. That tradition is rolling in suits or dress attire, well mostly.
This year was no different, in fact this year was probably the craziest. I was a little taken back by the prom dresses but it was absolutely hilarious. My stomach hurt from laughing so much after it was all over. If you watch the video I hope you get a laugh out of it.
Also, I always get bad feedback whenever I post a video like this from people. Let me stress that we train hard and we take our training very seriously. That said, if you can sit back with the people you spend so much time and have a laugh, somethings wrong. I’m adding this to this post because people have a way of taking themselves a little too seriously sometimes, at least I think.
Again, I hope you get a kick out of the video. We have a giggle about the whole gi is unrealistic. Because we train a bunch of gi and no gi and we do self defense and fighting jiu-jitsu.
Also if you’re reading this let me ask you a question. Do you have any silly traditions at your gym? If so, what are they?

I for one am deeply offended by this tradition and this “laughing” thing in your academy. We never, NEVER laugh in our classes. It’s all serious, all the time. If there’s so much as a snort from one of our students, they must perform 50 burpees, run 5 laps and then apologize to a picture of a scowling Helio. And Jigoro Kano. And Tank Abbott.
Hahaha. A scowling Tank Abbott is a fairly easy picture to come by. But a scowling picture with Kano or Helio? I don’t think I’ve seen one. Do they just take their regular photos and draw angry eyebrows with a sharpie to give the illusion of a scowl?
Just regular photos: we did the angry eyebrow thing, but it made a bunch of white belts cry.
