Registering for a 2 week trial
When you register for a 2 week trial you should have the appropriate gear for the classes that you want to participate in. It is not uncommon for us to have a Gi you may wear for trial classes if you don't own one. For NoGi we recommend fight shorts and a rash guard. During the two week trial you may wear gym shorts and a t-shirt for NoGi if needed.
