Tips to buy your first Jiu Jitsu Gi


Likewise Bjj Kimonos is a uniform for the bjj with which a lot of regulations are related. Martial art competitions often go behind the set of laws for BJJ Kimonos given by the largest Jiu Jitsu federation known as International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation. Brazilian Jiu – Jitsu, commonly known as BJJ is one such form of martial arts. It has evolved from its original form known as Jujutsu accomplished in Japan. Basically it deals with advanced 'grappling' techniques and forms a major part of the Mixed Martial Arts. History states that all kinds of martial art practitioners like Jiu Jitsu Gi must have a uniform to set them apart from different arts such as karate, judo etc. It is to make sure people don't make altercations in their competitions uniforms to make it more difficult for their opponents to use against them. So first let’s start with look of it. 

Gi’s that have tears in them anywhere won’t be allowed for competition so don’t forget to make sure that your Jiu Jitsu Gi are in good condition. But remember that combination of all these colors is also not permissible. In other words, both top and pant should be in same color, same brand and model. Colors allowed for your competition uniform must be traditional white, blue and black. Length of it should go down to the thighs and sleeves must reach the wrist when you expand your arms in front of the body. Although some smaller tournaments allow competitor to put on Shirts or Rash Guards but in major tournaments they are not allowed under your BJJ Kimonos as well during competition.
