Donate a Gi
Filed Under Uncategorized
Today is the first day of West Side Academy’s High School Jiu-Jitsu Program and I’m going to ask you for a favor. It’s not money. The program is free (twice a week for a year) to 30 High School students, most of the thirty cannot afford gis. Once the program gets going we are going to look for sponsorships from gi companies to help us outfit the group, but today we only have a handful of used gis and we are looking for as many gis as we can get. The kids do not care about holes or blood stains; they just want to train in a gi of their own.
So, if you have a gi you’ve out grown, don’t use, or could stand to part with, we’ll take it.
Basically, this is what we need:
Anyone with a jiu-jitsu or judo gi they are willing to donate to West Side’s High School Jiu-Jitsu Program you can bring it to or send it to:
High School Jiu Jitsu
c/o mark Johnson

Or bring it by the gym:
West Side Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Ogden UT 84401
Thanks for your help.
Good training and a happy life.

You could always teach nogi!
I’d rather die;)
We would teach no-gi, but the students were really looking forward to learning something.
Hahaha. Now that was funny.

Just reposted on my blog as well. Are you teaching girls too? Any specific sizes you’re short on?
