A proper BJJ gi is the foundation for every Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or preparing for a tournament, your gi should feel lightweight, strong, and fit your body type and training style perfectly.
At Fightstyle.nl, you'll find an extensive collection of BJJ gis for men, women, and children. Each model is carefully selected based on quality, durability, and performance. Train with confidence knowing that your gi is as dedicated to the sport as you are.
What is a BJJ gi?
A BJJ gi – also known simply as a “gi” – consists of a jacket (kimono) and matching pants. The belt that indicates your rank is usually sold separately but is an essential part of your outfit.
What sets a BJJ gi apart from a judo or karate uniform is the construction. The material is tightly woven and built to withstand intense pulling and gripping. Additionally, the fit is generally more tailored to reduce grip opportunities. This makes a BJJ gi ideal for the technical ground fighting that defines Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Key features of a high-quality BJJ gi
Not every uniform that looks like a gi is suitable for BJJ. You need gear that’s not only durable and comfortable but also meets technical standards. Keep these features in mind:
Material & weave: Most quality gis are made from cotton or a cotton blend with a pearl weave. This weave is lightweight yet strong, breathable, and resistant to intense training.
Fit: A good gi fits close to the body without restricting movement. Slim fit models give your opponent less fabric to grip.
Reinforcement: High-stress areas such as shoulders, armpits, knees, and the collar are reinforced to extend the life of your gi—even with daily use.
IBJJF-legal: Planning to compete? Make sure your gi complies with the guidelines of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF). All of our competition-ready gis are selected accordingly.
Who are our BJJ gis for?
The BJJ gis at Fightstyle.nl are made for everyone who takes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seriously—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned black belt.
We offer the right gi for every type of athlete:
✅ Beginners starting their first lessons
✅ Intermediates training multiple times a week
✅ Competitors who demand top-tier performance gear
Note: These gis are specifically designed for BJJ. They are not suitable for kickboxing, Muay Thai, boxing, or wrestling—those sports require different types of equipment and clothing.
How to choose the right BJJ gi size
BJJ gi sizes differ from regular sportswear and are typically labeled based on height and weight:
A-sizes (A0 to A5): Common for men and many women
F-sizes (F1 to F4): Specifically designed for women
M/Y-sizes: For kids and teens
A proper gi should be snug enough to avoid unnecessary grip but loose enough to allow freedom of movement. Keep in mind that most gis shrink slightly after the first few washes—typically around 2 to 3%.

Caring for your BJJ gi
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your gi and prevent odor or fabric damage. Follow these tips to keep your gi in top shape:
-
Wash after every training session at max 30°C
-
Avoid fabric softeners—they damage the fabric and reduce grip
-
Air-dry your gi—tumble drying causes shrinkage and wear
-
Wash your belt along with your gi to avoid color differences
-
Store your gi dry and hang it up between sessions
With proper care, your gi will last longer and help you train in comfort.
