With  the fantastic response to the Tatami Fightwear BJJ Gis, I have managed to secure further deals with Evolution, Gameness and Storm t make sure that as members of AS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Edmonton and Hertfordshire) you have the biggest possible choices of Gis.

The current prices on the website is for non members and the general public (although the prices are still discounted from the RRP and all BJJ Gis  come with free delivery to the UK).

To make it easier to search I have ensured you can search by the following categories:

Please let me know what you think, all feedback is welcome plus let me know if there are any brands that you would like to see included.

PLease also feel free to share this with anyone else you maybe think would be interested.

BJJ Belt Promotions Last Night

Morning guys,

Last night Nishan Khednah and Marius “the Marathon Man” Adragai were promoted to Blue Belt - a great achievement that reflects all the hard work and dedication both have put in over the months and years they have trained with Arlans Siqueria BJJ.

Congratulations to you both.

I am proud of everyone of my students, every stripe and belt promotion not only represents development in the individual's Jiu Jitsu career but also in the development of our academy and what we represent - dedication, hard work, technical ability, and positive energy.
