My wife just bought me a new pair of jujitsu gi pants. Why? Two reasons.

1. She’s awesome.
2. My old pair made me look homeless.

MMA GearFiled Under: Gear

If case you haven’t noticed, I’ve added a Gear page to SLC MMA, on the top next to “HOME” and “ABOUT” tab. If you check the page out, I’ve detailed the 5 essential pieces of MMA gear. I’ve even posted a few product recommendations to get you started.

If you own a particular shirt or gloves or whatever – drop me a line and tell me how you like them. I’d love to pass the info along to all the readers here. I know that a friendly recommendation can go a long way to buying good stuff. Plus, there are times when having good connections can get you a great deal if a friend knows a hook up.

For example, getting a decent Judo or Jujitsu gi locally in Utah – if you go down to Kiai Martial Arts, down on state street, and tell them you’re a U of U student they’ll give you a 5% or 10% discount. Look under the U of U MMA Classes post for their address and phone number.
