3. Gym / Academy Membership
Access to a gym or an academy is something that is truly valued by a grappler or someone who participates in BJJ regularly. You’re giving the gift of being able to be involved in something your loved one… loves. We know a few good places for BJJ aka. The BXNG Club.

And our instructors are some of the best around. Buy a gym membership for any of our gyms here.
4. BJJ Backpack
While those who practice BJJ mainly rely on themselves on the mats, this sport requires lots of gear – gis, rash guards, shorts, mouthguards, knee braces, athletic tape, food for energy, etc. This can become easily overwhelming and make heading to practice way more difficult than it needs to be.
Usually, a simple gym bag will do, but the best BJJ packpacks are designed specifically for BJJ practitioners. They have different compartments for gis, post-training gear, AND awesome features such as odor-blocking. Do your research on the best BJJ bags for the grappler in your life and you won’t go wrong. These lifesaving bags tend to range between $50-$150.
5. New BJJ Gi or Rashguard
This one is probably pretty obvious, but a new gi or rashguard to finish off the holiday or New Year season is most likely up on your grappler’s list. Basically, you can’t go wrong with this BJJ Christmas gift, so whether you know anything about BJJ or not, you’re set.
Plus, there are all sorts of options for gis and rash guards so you can have fun picking and choosing the best BJJ gi to suit your loved one. Gis usually run between $70-$180. If you decide to go with a rash guard instead of a gi, that also works because whether the person you’re shopping for prefers gi or no gi, they will need a rash guard.
6. One-On-One BJJ Personal Training
One of the best BJJ Christmas gifts to get someone is a BJJ personal training session. f you know anyone who does BJJ, you’ll know the immense value of being able to train with their professor one-on-one. With the incredible amounts of experience and knowledge that a professor of BJJ holds, BJJ personal training is an incredible BJJ Christmas gift with strong monetary and educational value.
With one-on-one sessions, your grappler gets to choose alongside their professor what to focus on and how to make the most use of their time together. BJJ personal training rates depend and vary by the gym, academy, and professor; however, they usually range from $70-$125 per session**. At The BXNG Club, we bring the best to each personal training session. Contact us for more information on pricing.
7. Foam Roller
As much as we love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the toll that BJJ training takes on anyone’s body is significant. Recovery is just as important as being able to figure out the BJJ puzzle while rolling on the mats. Sometimes, the body feels heavy, achey, and strained. Foam rollers are a popular and effective method of recovery for a reason. They are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and textures that allow individuals to find what works best for their aches and pains.
Leveling up on recovery should be just as valued as leveling up during training. It would be beneficial to learn about the type of relief your BJJ star needs before buying any foam roller. You want to buy something that works and will encourage them to use it regularly. A foam roller should never be seen sitting in the corner of someone’s room or backpack day after day without any use. The pricing on these bad boys can really range on what you’re looking for, but expect about $20-$80.
8. Grip Strengthener
Let’s talk about grip strength – a typical conversation in the BJJ world, but is not always given the kind of credit it deserves. A grip trainer is a great way to invest in grip strength and getting that 1% better everyday. Focusing on grip strength is a fantastic way to improve control and the ability to maneuver an opponent.
Everyone who practices BJJ wants to be the one that can use their grip to latch on with no intention of letting their opponent go. Remember, grip strength is slow and progressive. A grip strengthener, also known as a gripper is a small hand-held tool that can be used anywhere. Throw in some finger tape along with it and your BJJ Christmas gift is SET.
