Choosing the right Brazilian jiu jitsu gi is crucial for any practitioner, whether beginner or experienced. Here are the key elements to consider to make the right choice.

The size

The kimono should fit well to ensure optimal comfort and freedom of movement. Sizes generally range from A0 to A5 for men, F0 to F5 for women, and M0 to M4 for children. Check out our size guide at the bottom of the page to find the one that best fits your body shape.

The fabric

The material of the kimono is an important factor. Cotton kimonos are the most common and offer a good balance between comfort and durability. Weaves can vary:

Simple weave : lightweight and comfortable, ideal for summer training.

Double weave : thicker and more durable, often preferred for competition.

Pearlweave : a compromise between the two, offering good strength while being relatively light.

Starweave : An innovative weave that combines lightness and strength, offering great freedom of movement while being extremely durable.

The weight

The weight of the kimono is something to consider depending on the intended use. A lightweight kimono is ideal for regular training and warm climates. A heavier kimono offers better durability and is often preferred for competitions.
