Kids’ gis: Comfort and freedom of movement for young BJJ practitioners
For children training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), a high-quality kids’ gi is essential. This traditional uniform not only offers protection and grip options but also ensures that young athletes can learn techniques in a safe and comfortable way.
At Fightstyle.nl, you’ll find kids’ gis specifically designed for the dynamics of BJJ: lightweight, durable, and tailored to a child’s physique. Whether it’s their very first class or a youth competition, the right gi provides the foundation for confidence and progress on the mat.
Why choose a special BJJ gi for kids?
A standard martial arts uniform isn’t suitable for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ requires a gi that:
-
Can withstand pulling, grabbing, and rolling
-
Stays in place during intensive movements
-
Isn’t too heavy or stiff for young bodies
-
Meets IBJJF competition standards
A kids’ gi combines durability with wearing comfort, so children can move freely and stay protected during grappling.
What makes a good kids’ gi?
When selecting a gi for kids, pay attention to a few key features:
1. Fit and Sizing
Kids’ gis should fit snugly, without pinching or leaving too much room. Many models grow with your child thanks to adjustable sleeves and waistbands.
2. Material
Most kids’ gis are made from lightweight cotton (pearl weave) – strong, breathable, and easy to wash.
3. Freedom of Movement
A gi should never restrict a child’s natural movement. Side slits and pre-shaped sleeves offer extra comfort during scrambles and submissions.
4. Durability
Kids are active. That’s why our gis are reinforced at the shoulders, knees, and collar zones – so they can take a beating.
Who are these kids’ gis for?
The gis at Fightstyle.nl are designed for children training in:
-
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): Specifically made for gripping, pulling, controlling, and defending in BJJ. Suitable for both recreational training and youth tournaments.
-
MMA Kids Classes with Gi: In some gyms, young MMA athletes also receive BJJ training in a gi. These models are perfect for that.
Not suitable for karate, taekwondo, or judo – these sports use different fabrics, fits, and grip zones.
How to choose the right kids’ gi size
Kids’ gi sizing is often based on height in centimeters (for example, 110, 130, 150).
-
Choose a gi that matches your child’s height
-
Allow for minimal shrinkage after washing (about 2–3%)
-
If in doubt, go a little bigger rather than too tight – many gis have an adjustable waistband

Caring for your kids’ BJJ gi
Kids train hard and often. A clean, fresh gi is crucial for hygiene and comfort:
-
Wash the gi after every training session at 30°C
-
Let the gi air-dry (never use a dryer!)
-
Preferably wash inside out to reduce wear
-
Do not use fabric softener – it damages the fibers
With the right care, your gi will stay fresh and in top shape, even with intensive use.
