BJJ gis — what to look for

A BJJ gi will take you through Brazilian jiu-jitsu from your first class as a white belt to competing under IBJJF rules. Here you’ll find gis for men, women and kids, with a cut that withstands the dynamics of fighting both standing and on the ground. When choosing, consider three things: size, material and purpose. Sizes A1 to A4 are based on height and build, so it’s worth checking the specific manufacturer’s size guide rather than guessing from your everyday clothing size. Fabric weight determines how the gi copes with wear — lighter gis suit beginners and anyone watching their weight for competition, while denser, heavier weaves suit advanced athletes for hard training. If you’re aiming for official competitions, check whether the gi meets IBJJF requirements for colour and material. Choose a gi that fits you and let it work for you on the mat.
