Behind the name

Behind the Name: PeelGi

Peel” comes from the idea of peeling away layers. In life and in BJJ, learning is endless—every roll, every challenge, every lesson reveals a new layer of growth. We are constantly discovering more about ourselves and our potential.

Gi” is the traditional martial arts uniform—a symbol of discipline, respect, and dedication. It reminds us of the commitment and journey that every practitioner undertakes on the mats.

Together, PeelGi tells a story: of transformation, growth, and endless learning. Every layer we peel away brings us closer to who we can become, both on the mats and in life.
