What the AI looks for in Jiu-Jitsu Suit Sets
- Color
- IBJJF allows white, royal blue or black, with jacket and pants the same color. Other colors are banned at IBJJF events.
- Sleeve and pant length
- Sleeves must reach within 5 cm of the wrist with arms extended forward, and pants within 5 cm of the ankle bone. These are the IBJJF gi-check limits, and they are easy to fail after the gi shrinks.
- Weave
- Pearl weave is the light-to-medium standard; heavier gold or double weaves are harder to grip but hotter. Weight trades off against comfort and drying time.
- Collar
- A thick, stiff collar with a rubber or foam core. It is harder for opponents to grip and lasts longer.
- Shrinkage
- Wash cold and hang dry, and expect cotton to shrink if it is not preshrunk. Machine drying can drop a gi a full size.
Brands that matter
- Tatami Fightwear: Wide range of reliable gis.
- Fuji Sports: Budget workhorses.
- Gameness: Durable pearl-weave classics.
- Shoyoroll: Premium, limited-release gis.
- Kingz: Premium cuts and fabrics.
- Origin: USA-made gis.
What to avoid
- Karate or judo gis for BJJ
- Gis in colors other than white, blue or black if you plan to compete
Questions
What size do I need?
BJJ sizes such as A0 to A5 combine height and weight, and every brand's chart differs. Check the specific chart, and size up if the gi is not preshrunk.
