Filling in the GAP & Helping Kids Get On The Mat
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches confidence, discipline, and resilience. But one thing can stop kids from starting: the cost of a gi.
A new gi can cost $80–$150+, which makes it difficult for some families.
The Gi Access Project collects gently used gis and donates them to nonprofit gyms that teach kids for free.
Instead of sitting in a closet, your old gi can help a kid step onto the mat and learn the benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Dedicated to serving our community through charitable outreach, volunteerism, and support programs, we also strive to share the discipline, confidence, and life-changing impact of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with others.
Get involved today as a volunteer, donor, or advocate. Donate new or gently used gis at your local academy and help open the door to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for someone in need. Every contribution makes an impact.
