A durable, well-fitted gi is essential for anyone who trains seriously in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you hit the gym once a week or prepare intensively for competition, your gi must feel comfortable, be technically designed, and—above all—last a long time.
At Fightstyle.nl, we offer a curated selection of jiu-jitsu gis suited for both beginners and advanced practitioners. Each model is chosen based on fit, fabric, and IBJJF approval—so you’re always ready to perform on the mat.
What makes a jiu-jitsu gi unique?
A jiu-jitsu gi (or BJJ gi) is specially developed to meet the demands of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The gi consists of two parts: a jacket (also called kimono) and matching pants. The belt that shows your rank is typically sold separately.
Compared to judo or karate uniforms, the jiu-jitsu gi has a slimmer cut, stronger weave, and reinforced stress zones. That’s important, since BJJ involves a lot of gripping, throwing, and groundwork—where your gi is constantly being tested.
Key features of a quality BJJ gi
Not every gi is made for BJJ. A reliable jiu-jitsu gi must meet specific technical and practical standards:
Material & weave: Pearl weave is the most popular—strong, breathable, and lightweight. Perfect for hard training and tournaments.
Fit: A tailored cut reduces the opponent’s ability to grab sleeves, collars, or pants.
Reinforced stitching: High-stress areas like the collar, armpits, and knees are extra stitched to prevent tearing.
IBJJF legal: Planning to compete? Your gi must meet the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation’s guidelines. All our competition-ready gis comply.
Who are our jiu-jitsu gis for?
Our jiu-jitsu gis are designed for all levels of BJJ practitioners—regardless of age or experience.
Ideal for:
✅ Beginners taking their first classes
✅ Intermediate fighters training multiple times a week
✅ Competitors who demand IBJJF-approved performance gear
These gis are made specifically for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and are not suitable for other disciplines like MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, or wrestling. For those, we offer different specialist gear.
Choosing the right size and fit
BJJ gis follow a unique sizing system. When choosing your gi, it should fit snugly to your body without restricting movement.
The most common size types are:
A0 – A5: for adults, based on height and weight
F1 – F4: specially designed for women
Y or M: for kids and youth
Note: cotton tends to shrink slightly after washing—expect around 2–3% shrinkage. Every product at Fightstyle.nl includes a sizing chart, and our customer service is happy to help you find the perfect fit.
Care tips to keep your gi in top condition
A jiu-jitsu gi takes a lot of wear. Regular washing and good maintenance are key to hygiene, comfort, and lifespan.
-
Wash your gi at a maximum of 30°C
-
Do not use fabric softener—it weakens fibers and reduces grip
-
Air dry only—tumble drying causes shrinkage and damage
-
Wash your belt with your gi to avoid color differences
-
Store your gi in a well-ventilated space, not in a closed bag
With proper care, your gi stays fresh, strong, and ready for every roll.
