What should I wear to my first BJJ class?

Athletic clothes without anything that can scratch or catch - no zippers, buttons, or pockets. A t-shirt and shorts or sweatpants work fine. Take off all jewelry and watches. Cut your fingernails and toenails short. The gym might lend you a gi (the traditional uniform) or tell you to buy one. Call ahead to ask what they prefer for first-timers.
