This is a durable, reinforced uniform specifically designed for grappling and we have plenty of gi’s that you can borrow for your first few sessions.

Safeguarding Policy
At Sub Club Grappling, the safety and well-being of all members—especially children, young people, and vulnerable adults—are our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful training environment where everyone feels welcome and protected. All instructors and staff undergo background checks (DBS where applicable) and receive safeguarding training to ensure they understand how to recognize, respond to, and report any concerns appropriately. Our safeguarding policy outlines clear procedures for preventing and addressing bullying, harassment, abuse, or any form of misconduct.
We maintain open lines of communication, encouraging members, parents, and guardians to voice any concerns without fear of judgment or retaliation. Additionally, we have a designated Welfare Officer who serves as the primary contact for any welfare-related issues. By fostering a culture of respect, accountability, and vigilance, we aim to create a safe space where all students can enjoy the physical and personal development benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with confidence and peace of mind.
