Using BJJ Uniform for Judo?

[neoravencroft]

Is it possible to use a BJJ uniform for Judo practice?

[Tempest]

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.

Wow. That's a lot of rules.

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.

[TJ-Jitsu]

Yes, as long as you don't look like a nascar driver....

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.
