My school gave me a gi and the first month was free.
...requires everyone to have equipment bought from them due to staph and mrsa.
Sounds pretty lame. Even the no-gi class requires you to buy $120s in stuff?
Unless they're giving me free membership to rep them in tournaments I don't really care who knows where I train. As long as I'm still paying membership fees they work for ME and if they don't like it I'll take my business elsewhere
Either way, unless you're sponsored, you're going to be paying to have someone's logos on you.
My school makes us pay about $400 upfront when promoted to "advanced class" for boxing gloves and pads.
But then again, they also bind us to $200 a month 2-year contracts. I'm leaving soon.
and from my short experience with BJJ, I've noticed that most if not all Renzo affiliated gyms are money-hungry.
