neoravencroft Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Is it possible to use a BJJ uniform for Judo practice? "When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown." ~Bruce Lee
Tempest Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 In practice, sure. In competition, it depends on the cut and color of the uniform and what patches are on it.Please see this link for competition approved gi guidelines.http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Judo/Athletes/International-Federation/Guidance-for-IJF-approved-judogi Think first, act second, and stop getting the two confused.
neoravencroft Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 Wow. That's a lot of rules. "When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown." ~Bruce Lee
vantheman Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 In a sense, a BJJ gi is just a judo gi with a more conservative cut, as to give opponents less material to grab onto. So long as you are within regulations, a BJJ gi will work fine for judo. Van
TJ-Jitsu Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Yes, as long as you don't look like a nascar driver....
tallgeese Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Totally fine. In the early days of BJJ in the States use of a judo gi was common. van is correct, it's largely just a more conservative cut. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
