Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Patches | ART OF ONE DOJO

- Опубліковано 31 тра 2021
- Why are there so many patches on a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu uniform? In recent times, patches have become a source of contention among many in the martial arts. Many schools proudly wear patches to represent arts, organizations, sponsorships, while martial arts purists sometimes prefer clean white uniforms. Today we talk about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu uniform patches.

I love BJJ team patches. It’s a cool thing to let people know what school/lineage you are. maybe being in the air force makes me like patches even more. A lot of these extra patches can be sponsorships.
I like patches as a symbol of school pride, but at the same time I always thought a uniform without patches always looked cleaner. But got no problem wearing the school/organization patches that represent the art I practice
This is cool to learn about. Not really my way of doing it but it is cool to see others wear it
I like the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu patch the triangle
I'm currently sewing on the patch from my original gym to the back of my gi.
In addition to sentimental value, IMO, they laid the rock solid foundation on which my current professors have built on.
I'm still going to sew my current gyms patch onto my gi, tho. Right over the heart since, they're so much like my original gym that I love them the same.
When I'm old af, I want to be able to look at my old busted up gi collection and see the story of my BJJ journey represented through the patches on my old battle pajamas.
I wear my own personal school patch. I wear my organization patch and my other system I learned and have then for pride and to show how hard I training and educate myself empty cup.
Back in the late 80s, my Okinawan Kenpo dojo in Hawaii used to have school lapel patch, federation patch on left arm,, Kobudo patch on right arm and a big federation patch on the back (with black uniform). But after I moved to the mainland, they changed to white uniforms with only a school patch on lapel. In my own training, when I wear a gi, I use no patches. Not out of any judgement, just that there's no need as I'm training on my own now.
Nice video bro
As a taekwondo and bjj practitioner, I personally prefer either a completely patchless uniform, or at most the country flag and Academy Insignia.
Roger Gracie is known to wear rather plain uniforms. I guess a plain uniform, in a field of people with heavily patched uniforms, actually stands out more.
You don't see patches on old pictures of Jigoro Kano, Mitsuyo Maeda, Carlos and Helio Gracie, or even Rolls Gracie.
One of the problem with sparring against an opponent with too many patches is that during a real self-defense situation, your attacker might not have any patches for you to grab onto. :)
Before I earned my black belt I put patches on my Taekwondo uniform. After I got my black belt I started only putting the flags on my sleeves at the shoulder. Now I tend to not patch them up but I have had my UA-cam channel's name and logo added to the back of a uniform top and the name down the right side of the leg. Just for visibility if I chose to wear it to a tournament.
I'm a simple man...a plain white or black uniform. As far as patches go...school patch either on my left chest and/or on the back and that's it. The only exception would be a flag patch near my shoulder on my sleeve. With regards to my jiu-jitsu uniforms I only buy brands that don't have their company logo splattered all over, which is getting harder and harder to find. If I were to ever open up another school I would be the same with my students.
My kung fu uniform was just a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt with the school logo on it. I got a lot of mileage out of those t-shirts.
The one other component of the uniform that I absolutely hated were the cotton kung fu slippers. How in the world are people supposed to fight wearing slippers? I would always slide around the gym, lose my balance, and twist my ankles when I had to wear those things. They don’t even hold together well (being made of fabric after all) so everyone would eventually end up holding their slippers together with duct tape. It became a joke throughout different regional seminars and tournaments - my school would show up with our feet wrapped in duct tape, ready to boogie.
In Judo....love patches. Creates another seam on the gi to grab hold of. The infamous Adidas gi with the shoulder stripes.
Not so much a patch as a texture and material difference. Easier to crunch and bunch the shoulder and pull out
My tang soo do instructor required us to wear three patches regardless of rank (our federation patch, the South Korean flag and the American flag) however we could wear other patches too but they had to be associated with our federation and have to be earned
The BJJ patching really put me off for years. NASCAR reference is on point. By happenstance I found a gym that started as a Japanese JuJitsu and grown into BJJ so the plain white GI is prominent. It was my much delayed entry into BJJ.
But all in all don’t let patches dissuade you. They might look gaudy like gold chains and rings on a track suit, but the aren’t and culture is well worth it.
I like the gracies have a white gi with all white patches
What I like about the Gracie Academy is that they always kept it simple. Plain white with the option of just the school patch on your chest and/or back. But now even they're going a bit overboard. They probably have more uniform versions than Fuji Sports at this point.
@@barrettokarate and everyone is "limited edition"
When I took over teaching, it was because my instructor was leaving the area to be closer to family. The Grand Master he was affiliated with was six hundred miles away, and I had only met him a dozen or so times. Me being an individualist that had picked up a bunch of things a bunch of places, it wasn't long before cracks in that relationship turned into fissures and ultimately it broke. The one thing I always felt that I got from the connection that I missed when it was gone was being able to push off rank testing on someone else.
When that division broke, I divided out my curriculum into different parts that could be taught in parallel. This had a huge advantage that I could more-or-less tailor an individual's lessons to their needs and personality. It had the huge disadvantage that I had to figure out how to compare ranks between someone that knew the whole of one sub-curriculum against someone that knew half of all of them. For a while, I considered using patches for ranking instead of belts. I decided against it for a few reasons (read, money reasons) but I've often felt like it would have made more sense in a lot of ways.
As someone who has gone from training American Kenpo to training in shotokan I have to say I miss having patches on my karate uniform .
Bujinkan only has 5 belt colors(based on most shihan) but at belt is taught in sections or multiple kuys in that color. so the stars and patch let teacher of all ranks know where your at and what your working on. It more for 1000's of hatsumi's shidoshi and shihan can just walk up and know what part that student is working on. A teaching tool.
The Gracie Barra Gi - wouldn't say those are patches. That's just what the uniform looks like. I don't think people are sewing extra patches on it... But where BJJ does have it beat is the goofy shifts that say "tap or snap" or "Neon Belly."
Usually, alternative patches on uniforms, and high level black belt ranks with/using belt striping, are only to be worn at the home dojo. I have been taught it is common etiquette to wear a plain gi, and a simple black belt whenever visiting another dojo...unless you have been invited to host that particular training session.
Ironically. There's a such thing as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jujitsu tournaments. I just wander if that is why their kimono gi look like race cars.
Can you make a video of what is ninjutsu. I know that you made a video on Bujinkan but I’ve heard that Bujinkan is more ninja inspired considering that only 3 of the 9 schools are ninjutsu(ninpo).
Over the years there has really been on one school I attended where patches were even a consideration at all and that was when I was attending a local Hwa Rang Do school. We were expected to wear two patches, on one each arm. On the left upper arm was the Korean Flag representing the Korean roots of the style and on the right upper arm was an American Flag. Beyond that the subject in that school was never really talked about. When I was studying Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu it was never talked about at all, I don't even remember anyone ever bringing it up. Personally I don't really care one way or another, although I do think I can be overdone and I have seen people whose Gi, or other uniform looked more like a conglomeration of patches held together by bits of fabric but if they are in an environment where there is no rule against it then it's really up to personal preference.
My kid’s school utilizes patches for confidence boosters and more of a visual aid ask to where the student stands skill wise. Like what weapons they’ve tested with and the number of katas they’ve passed. It’s more of a quick reminder for the sensei or even visiting sensei to know that students level beyond their belt rank. I actually think that’s a pretty cool idea for a quick reference.
Some of these patches offer extra protection against knife slashes.
I always order my patches in Kevlar
@@Stewbular Yeah. That's the way to go.
If a particular patch ever became that important to me I would probably go ahead and get it tattooed on me. In fact I think a future episode should be about martial arts tattoos
I have 2 patches on my mine, the school crest and an instructor patch. The school crest is also tattooed on my upper right arm hahaha couldnt agree more with you lol
I wear the reversed 🇺🇸 on my GI due to my military past and kanji which have direct meaning regarding the art. I’m the only person with the flag on my uniform but of course the flag has very special meaning to me.
I'm guilty if decorating my GI in bjj.lol
For traditional asian martial arts, little to no patch since I want to be able to go train in they're country and not stand out too much, For BJJ, I just have fun and wear my geeky related patches from fighting games.
Patches
Tracksuit patches (school affiliations)
Wall patches (school affiliations)
There are some great patch designs and "T shirts" (Karate, Kung Fu etc)
I am not into award patches (it looks a bit cheesy)
Medals, Ribbons, Certificates (preferable)
We wear a big back patch. How common are those in other styles?
Not uncommon, I see it at various schools. Jeff Speakman Kenpo Schools have the name embroidered in large on the back of the uniform.
Is now a bad time to ask if there is an Art of One Dojo patch? 😂
The topic of patches has never really come up in my training. I do wear a denim jacket with patches from each martial art I have trained in but that is more for show and conversation starter then anything else
LOL fair question! There isn't one....yet....but we are playing around with the idea of one.
Patches give you 5 more horse power!
Frank Trejo was sponsored by budweiser?!?! Thats pretty hardcore
Yup, that whole Ed Parker team was. I wasn't around at the time (at least not in the martial arts scene) but there are stories about when the "black uniforms" showed up to tournaments people knew they were in for a fight lol. I wish I could have seen those days.
Hi what are your opinions on bare knuckle boxing?
It hurts
Not a super fan of it. I understand the realism and can definitely appreciate the toughness of it...but I think it's dangerous and damaging in the long run.
I love patches
I have many on my backpacks, on a couple of my jackets
but never on my Gi
I walk onto the mat w a empty mind & gi
I step onto the mat w a clean gi & step off w a dirty one
The more & larger patches the less legit the dojo
When the dojo teacher is an American w a 10th Dan or calls himself master - run, run away
That really honestly depends on the teacher. In most cases I would agree, however I have personally met some 9th and 10th degrees that could seriously mess you up.
The comment seems to have been deleted, but I don't disagree with you. There shouldn't be as many 9th or 10 degrees as there are, but that isn't anything unique to America. That can apply to a lot of systems worldwide. My point was, some of them, whether you agree they should have the rank or not, can walk the walk. I've personally encountered them.
@@ArtofOneDojo
I deleted my comment because on thinking about it, I came to feel that I might have been disrespectful
To initiate I totally agree Sensei Dan, that so long as your uniform is neat and presentable, it does not matter as to whether it has patches or not. Also so long as it is within the regulations of the organisation, dojo, or tournament organisers, then I do not see why one or various patches on a gi or martial arts uniform in general, should matter.
In Japan once a world class Judo exponent, was disqualified after many of his opponents, had complained that his Judo gi, was slippery to grip and hold onto, as if he had applied some sort of grease or vaceline type of substance all over it. So clearly the officials disqualified him, upon close inspection of his uniform.
Some Karate schools complain even about, other Karate styles who happen to embroid the name of their style, on the gi jacket or and or gi pants as well! To me it is nonsensical as each style should have the right to embroid whatever they like on their uniforms, plus a badge, or two or more if they so choose to do so. In the end their skill, morals and honourable representation of their respective art is what matters most.
At my first two Kyokushinkaikan Karate dojos, we wore the traditional, embroidered Kyokushin Karate, white gi, with our own Kanku and name of our specific Kyokushin Karate dojo, embroidered and worn on the left shoulder of the gi's jacket. At my current dojo our Shihan (master) does not like them and dismisses them all together. Yet Sosai Oyama Masutatsu himself had authorised the light blue embroidered 'Mas Oyama Kyokushin Karate ' Kanku gi patches to be embroidered on the left side of our gi's jacket. Kancho Matsui Shokei of IKO1, as well as those of other organisations, also have their own, individual versions of the Kanku gi patches. To me personally I like the gi patch, as it distinguishes one individual dojo from the rest, even within the same Kyokushinkaikan Karate Organisation.
So my overall opinion of gi patches, is not a bad one, but rather a positive one as it is similar to a family crest, which chronicles the particular history of that school, group, style or association. Even Sensei John Kreese and his evil Cobra Kai have a few patches on their black and gold, Karate competitions gis lol 😆🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋👍🤟✌.

Ok...still laughing... My kenpo background it's just two years but I learned a lot in those two years and I wish I could study Kenpo again but again there is no kenpo schools here
I am not exactly fond of patches because of how it could be a telltale sign of our abilities, and in what I at least teach for techniques, you don't want enemies to be able to discern what your abilities are even in a dojo setting for sparring matches. Surprise is a great tool needless to say.
I hate people who wear patches that they "didn't earn."
they should be stickers instead. otherwise its like a regrettable tattoo
Patches can be removed though. My previous instructor swapped his out constantly.
Here's an ider for all doze BJJ guys...to hell with the dam ghi...just sew the patches on your skin!!! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NASCAR
Vroom Vroom!
As a BJJ practitioner: My academy actually has very few patches: One thing I noticed not many schools putt their country of origin patches on their uniforms. My son's TKD school was indifferent to the patches : they allowed my son to wear two patches from two different countries since he is biracial. This is good informative video : Keep up the good work
DAM...BJJ guys...WAY TOO MANY GHI PATCHES DUDE!!! WTH?!...hahaha
Well that didn't work out so the entire time I was in kenpo I never did see anymore then four patches... I have been into BJJ for about 2 years I know I am going to piss off BJJ people but I really don't give a damn BJJ came from kodokan Judo kodokan Judo came from traditional Japanese Samurai ju-jitsu... that is the correct spelling Ju jitsu the Brazilians put I between the J and a u... so everybody that knows me knows that I have this little small scooter I'm doing as a labor of love I now have a hundred and thirty-five kids that are all underprivileged they have all been in trouble in school now my trouble kids are on it honor roll it's because of spending my time being with them teaching them traditions that are real and true so this past Saturday between teaching the kids and the women's self-defense class for a organization called women are safe which is women that has been abused in a relationships so I had this BJJ guy come into my school had 13 patches on his damn uniform to challenge me he dropped down on his back i set and look at him and laugh.. he did not want to stand so I went down to the ground with him he went to the hospital with a broken ankle
I think BJJ is a joke
You clearly haven't rolled with an experienced BJJ grappler.
@@ArtofOneDojo I guess didn't watch what happened Texas on the news
Please indulge me. I'm curious what news event has delegitimized an entire art for you.
@@ArtofOneDojo it what happens El Paso Texas and goes show you that BJJ is not go style for street fighting
Hold on, that is a different argument. BJJ is not ideal for a street fight but if the fight goes to the ground it IS good for doing damage and getting right back up.
It doesn't matter if there was one incident...it doesn't judge an entire martial art at a whole, it just means a decision was made in a certain situation.
Do you have a link to the news article?
