Guide To Buying a Good Quality Bjj Kimono

If you are a beginner just getting into the exciting sport of Brazilian jiu jitsu or a seasoned fighter, you can always benefit from a few tips on how to choose the best Bjj kimono that is very comfortable and functional.

As you browse around for top quality Brazilian jiu jitsu gi, you will come across a riot of different brands, weaves and colors all of them claiming to be of top quality. This makes it very difficult choosing the right one for your requirements.

Whether you visit a physical store or shop online, you will find that most of the Bjj kimonos are priced at an average of $150. As this is quite an investment, you must take efforts to do your research and choose the best jiu-jitsu kimono.

Here are a few tips on purchasing a good quality Bjj kimono –

Fabric: Fabric used for making the jiu-jitsu gis plays an important role. Most Bjj gis are made with single, double or gold weave fabrics. The type of fabric you choose depends entirely on your comfort and preference. Most Brazilian Jiu-jitsu artists choose the single weave fabric. Here a single piece of fabric is used to construct the gi.

Pre-Shrunk Fabric: Another aspect to consider while you purchase your Atama kimono, Keiko Raca kimono or bjj kimono is to determine if the fabric used is pre-shrunk. If you do not want your gi to shrink, it is recommended to choose jiujitsu gi made of pre-shrunk cotton. This will ensure that your Brazilian jiu-jitsu kimono will always fit you perfectly.

Lapel & Collar: Another important factor to consider as you purchase your Bjj kimono is the lapel and collar. It is recommended to ensure that they have rubber inside. Lapel must be of the right thickness. This means, it should not be too thin or too thick. Do not purchase the gi if the lapel does not contain rubber.

Color: Of course, color is an important consideration. Though the jiujitsu gis are made in different attractive colors, standard colors accepted for tournaments include blue, white and black. As certain competitions do not even allow black Bjj kimonos, it is best to choose them in blue or white.

Tailoring: Well stitched jiu jitsu gi brands offer jiu jitsu kimonos tailored to perfection with perfect tapering. However there are some that do not give that comfortable tapering which makes the Bjj kimono looking baggy and shapeless. So, keep this aspect in mind as you choose your Bjj gi.

Price: Ensure that the kimono is made of 100% cotton material for maximum comfort. Keep the price in mind as you hunt around for the best Jiu Jitsu gi. Though most of the Bjj Gi’s are priced around $150, with a little research, it is not difficult locating bjj kimonos priced under $100.

Keep in mind the above tips as you shop around for the best Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gis. Comfortable apparel is the first step towards optimum performance in the sport. It is especially important to take time choosing the best gis if you are seriously into competitive jiu jitsu.
