Holiday Gift Guide for Your Jiu-Jitsu Kid 

The holidays are upon us, and we’re now in the final countdown toward the one day all young BJJ mat monsters look forward to: Christmas.

Whether you’re the type to squirrel away gifts all year – hiding them where you hope they won’t be found by the little snoopers – or you’re the type to wait last minute, this is the time to cross off any remaining items on your list. Between Black Friday sales and end-of-the-year deals, you’ll be able to snag something that’ll overjoy your offspring without breaking the bank. 

The good news is your child has taken to a hobby that’s tremendously easy to buy for: Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Gone are the days when you had to scour the stores for something you hope they’ll like. With Fighters Market, a few minutes spent in the youth section will have your checkout filled with items you know they’ll love.

To make it that much easier, we’ve created this Holiday Gift Guide for every young jiu-jitsu practitioner:

Jiu-Jitsu Gis

No kid could ever have enough gis. A fresh, brand new gi, with plenty of room for all their favorite patches, will have your child jumping for joy. The only decision you have to make is what color (taking into account your academy rules) and what size. Here are our picks:

• Kingz The ONE Kids BJJ Gi - The Kingz The One gi is a perfect lightweight, minimally designed gi. Loved by all, it's one of our best-selling youth gis. 
• Kingz GT40 Youth Gi - If your child is all about that drip, the Kingz GT40 is a bit flashier, with cool Ford GT40 styling. 
• Maeda Red Label 3.0 - Just like The One, the Maeda Red Label is a great, lightweight and minimally designed gi. The bonus is Maeda offers three other fun colors: pink, purple, and mint. 

Hoodies & Beanies

As the weather dips, one of your main objectives as a parent is to keep the little snot from getting sick – and bringing it home. Our selection of jiu-jitsu hoodies and beanies does a double-duty; keeping them warm enough to prevent a chill, and letting them be the envy of their friends and classmates. Here are a few options that are bound to thrill:

• Kingz College Youth Hoodie - A big, bold logo, will have your outspoken kiddo Kingz College Hoodie stand out from the crowd. 
• Kingz Be Fluid Youth Hoodie - If your kiddo is more on the zen side - we can only hope - the Kingz Be Fluid Hoodie gives some serious samurai vibes.
• Choke Republic Smiley Youth Hoodie - The Choke Republic Smiley Hoodie is the perfect addition for that ever-smiling kiddo in your life.
• Beanies - There's no such thing as having enough beanies during the winter months. Keep your kiddo's noggin warm with these options from Kingz, Choke and Maeda that he/she will be able to wear for years. 

Backpacks

Mid-way through the school year, your kiddo has undoubtedly put some miles on his/her backpack. This is the perfect time to replace it with something that was built to withstand everyday travel and training: a backpack designed for the jiu-jitsu lifestyle. We offer several great options from Kingz and Venum.  

Mouth Guards

Now, this might not be something your child is asking Santa for, but it nonetheless should be on your list. Mouth guards are a must have for every jiu-jitsu practitioner, young and old, by protecting their teeth from accidental blows... and protecting your wallet from expensive dentist bills. These options are small enough for your young grappler, can be shaped in hot water - making it a "fun" interactive gift - and some even have flavors! 

• Shock Doctor Youth Gel Max Flavor Fusion Mouthguard - Comes in blue raspberry, bubble gum and mint flavors! 
• Sisu Aero Mouth Guard - A great, lightweight mouth guard that comes in fun colors. 

 Wherever you are in your holiday shopping, we hope our Holiday Gift Guide makes it faster and easier for you to get it done, so you can spend more time with your loved ones.
