Below are recommendations of kit, you are welcome to source your own. Here are two sites we use regularly.

Blitz

Progress

Gi (Suit)

A Gi is the traditional outfit used to train martial arts in such as Judo and Karate.
These are not needed for our STRIKE classes.

To start you do not need one to train with us.

At the Warriors we like to have Blue Gis for Judo, and a white Gi must be used for Karate.

Suits come in every 10cm sizings.

For our Judo classes you can either wear a traditional Judo suit (which you can get from Blitz) or a Jiu Jitsu suit (which you can get from Progress.)
The only difference is the look.
The Blitz Judo suits look like a regular fit, whereas the Progress Jiu Jitsu ones are a more tailored fit;
personally I prefer the latter.

Be aware, to me a suit is a suit, whereas other clubs may prefer you to where a specific type of suit but if your primary club will be the Warriors then either is fine.
I just like the Judo group to wear Blue and the Karate in White please.

There are many suits available and the price tends to vary due to quality but also the weight of the suit.
I would recommend nothing lighter than 350g for a kids Judo style suit and 500g for an adults.
For Karate, I wouldn’t go below a 7oz suit for kids or adults, the heavier the karate suit the thicker and stiffer it will feel.

Mouth Guards

There are two types of mouth guards - I would advise the ‘Double layer’ ones for older students (juniors and above) and the ‘Single layer’ ones for younger students.

Mouth guards do not need to be of these type, therefore if you have one from a different activity such as rugby these are fine also.

Sinlge Layer Colours - Black, Blue, Clear, Gold, Green, Pink, Red, Silver or White.

Double Layer Colours - Black, Blue or Red.

Other makes I would advise (though more expensive) are SafeJawz and Shock Doctor. I do not stock these, so these would need to be bought privately. They are easy to find.

Sinlge Layer Mouth Guard £2.50 (My Price)

Double Layer Mouth Guard £4.50 (My Price)

Head Guards

Although needed for competition, you do not need to provide your own as the club does have spares. Saying this, some students may prefer to use their own.
