A good Ju-Jitsu Gi

[Scorcho]

Hey,

 

I studied traditional Uechi-Ryu Karate for 14 years, and have recently taken up Jiu-Jitsu and Aikido at college. It has become more than apparant to me that my thin karate gi cannot take the beating the throws and ground fighting in Ju-Jitsu put on it for much longer. My sensei sells gis, but they are this incredibly ugly yellowish color. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a plain white gi for Ju-Jitsu to me (a little thicker, possibly with reinforced knees). If it was possible to order it over some web site, that would be great too.

 

Thanks a lot.

I have no personnel experience with this types of gis but some here on the board have recommended the Bad Boy gis before. I believe they are pretty good ones that hold up well. At least that's what I've heard.

 

Here's a link to a site that sells them. Good Luck!

I have an Atama Gold Weave and it's pretty good.

 

Here there are some sites:

I have an atama gold weave in blue https://www.atama-kimonos.com - it is a very durable gi, a little slimmer in the sleeves like many Brazilians prefer. The collar is thick but not too thick - the only drawback is the thick seam in the back.

 

I also use an MKimonos Hybrid gi - I didn't think any gi could be better than the Atama till I got this! It's a bit more expensive, but worth it. It's extremely comfortable, nice looking, can take a beating, and has a short skirt and thick collar just like I prefer. https://www.mkimonos.com

 

I have also heard rave eviews of Gameness gis (I tried my friend's once and thought the collar was too thick), HCK kimonos (pretty expensive), and a few other brands. Is this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or some other form you are studying?
