Sho-ju Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I just went through the painful process of buying a new gi. With so many now on the market, decisions are made more difficult and it’s hard to know which gi will fulfill the requirements of your training. Searching the net I found this site, https://www.jokerjitsu.com with links and reviews. It’s worth a look. I ended up buying the white Adidas Jujitsu Champion gi. It’s 24 oz. Double weave cotton from KodokanGear ( https://www.kodokangear.com ). After a week of looking at Atama, Howard Combat Kimonos, Mizunos, Gameness, etc. I decided on the Adidas for many reasons, the main one being customer service. The folks at KodokanGear were very helpful giving me tips on sizing, washing and answering more then a dozen emails quickly. http://www.bogubag.com/Uniforms/Judo/Adidas_judo/adidas_champion_gi_l.jpg Which gi do you use and what are you likes and dislikes with that brand? I've owned Tiger Claw (cheap gi), Fuji and a Toraki gold. I liked them all of them and they've all seen hard training. My only problem with all of them, they are judo style cut gi's.

SevenStar Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 bjj gis are usually stiffer and the skirt is shorter. IMO, it's harder to do a gi choke on someone with a bjj gi - stiffer/tiicker lapel. as for brand, I use judo star - I prefer the loose gi to the bjj type. I have had a decent experience with atama, and I got a gameness gi tonight, so I'm itching to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squawman Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I got my Adidas uniform from https://www.heimas.com They had good prices and fast delivery. The thing that amazed me about some uniforms is the price. There are some for $300. For that much it better do the fighting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsnow Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I got an atama....then one month later switched to no gi...lol..what a waste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three60roundhouse Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I like Atama, except for the seam in the back, which is a little distracting from the guard. My other gi is a Machado. They have the best service...Luciana is very helpful and personable...wait until they have a sale going on - when there's a sale, the value cannot be beaten! https://www.mkimonos.com 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
