My Opinion:
A lot of people are probably going to scoff at this deal when they first see it. Â But if you do the math, it's really not that bad.
Shoyoroll GUMA Reserve Membership price: 379
Minus cost of the gi: 165 (estimated cost based on batch 11 price)
Minus cost of two t-shirts: 50
Minus cost of sweatshirt: 50
Minus cost of gear bag and patches: 50
Total remaining: $64
Now, let's say you are also going to buy two SYR gis and a rashguard during the next calendar year. Â The 10% discount will save you 10% of $380 (estimated cost for two gis and a rashguard), giving you another $38 in savings.
Total cost of Shoyoroll GUMA Reserve Membership: $26
The great equalizer is that all of these gis are going to be super rare and valuable and to gi collectors, worth quite a bit. Â If for some reason, you aren't happy with the Shoyoroll GUMA Reserve Membership, you can always sell some of the rare stuff and make your money back.
Frankly, I think it sounds like a really cool concept and Shoyoroll is the first to try it, so I'll definitely be grabbing a Shoyoroll GUMA Reserve Membership on December 24th.
Im in but im a GI whore lol.
ME TOO. I think this site is a dead giveaway from that. Hopefully, we can get some cool info for all of the people who didn’t get the membership for whatever reason.
I scoff. I doublescoff. 🙂 All that cash means a few privates, or airfare to Pans and Worlds…
You’re such a hater! But I agree. It really is a polarizing event in the bjj community.
But I think it appeals more to those who are not competition-oriented (like me :)), otherwise, you are 100% correct that it would be better spent becoming better at BJJ.
Thanks for reading the site Georgette!
I am glad there are more mma/gi companies now. While the gi market is becoming saturated and more competitive, it is much better for the consumer. That is why I did not follow through with starting my own gi company at the moment.
