So, I started training ju jitsu this year, nursing a shoulder that had surgery but been going consistently. My daily schedule got little busier so I couldn't make it to my usual classes and only time I have is to make it to the No-Gi classes. So I was kind of excited, ordered couple rash-guards online to rotate them day after day. I never knew rash guards were so expensive. You are paying for sweat proof tight shirt for about 50 bucks each.
So I went to the No-Gi class and it was fun. little bit more physically demanding but I liked it because it reminded me of a hard wrestling practice.
After the class was over, when everyone lined up to thank the intructor and shake hands, our MAIN instructor (the owner) interrupts and gives this whole shpill about how we look like Christmas trees or what not, Everyone is wearing whatever they want, there is no uniformity, even if we wanted to compete the ones we were wearing are not allowed and so on. And he wanted everyone to own the Rash-guard they sell with their logo on it (their rash-guard has belt color on it) and told us unless we're wearing the Uniform, we can't train no-gi. WTF!! It's like the UFC and Reebok uniform shit.
I guess I'm more angry about the 100bucks I've spent and top of that gotta spend another 50!!
I don't know what the big deal is, why do we ahve to look alike when we're just training? but are any of you who train BJJ, at the place of your training do they enforce shit like this? Is this a common thing?
