The 10 Best Jiu Jitsu Gis

The Hayabusa Goorudo 3.0 (appx. $149) is embroidered with the Kanji symbols for courage, pride, strength, and respect, all principles an honorable fighter should exhibit. It is strategically reinforced at all stress points to be as tough as the wearer hopes to be.

The Sanabul Essentials v.2 (appx. $58) has a lightweight construction ideal for warmer climates or fighters who practice in dojos without air conditioning. It is preshrunk and designed with a tapered, athletic fit to minimize the bagginess found in many other options.

The Flow Kimonos Air (about $120) is a competition-quality option that comes in nine different sizes, so there should be one to fit your personal body type perfectly. It is made from 100-percent cotton with a 350 gsm pearl-weave construction.

The Ultra Light Vulkan (around $145) comes in kid and adult sizes, which will make for the most adorable photo ops if both you and your child train together. Its approved by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation for use in tournaments.

You'd be forgiven for thinking the Elite Sports IBJJF Ultra Light (around $49) costs twice as much as it does, so it certainly represents a great value. It's available in a variety of traditional colors and undergoes an anti-odor treatment at the factory.

Show off your personality as you beat an opponent into submission with the Shogun Fight Tao Premium (about $149). It has a stunning motif on the inside depicting snakes, birds, Japanese koi fish, and more, while the exterior sports illustrative tiger faces.

The Mamba Martial Arts Pre-Shrunk (about $99) features a mesh lining on the interior to improve its breathability, and triple stitching at strategic points to minimize the chances of it ripping when your opponent gives it a hard yank as they try to throw you.

The Fuji All-Around (about $97) is a mid-weight option that can be comfortably used for both summer and winter training, though it may not be perfectly ideal for either. It has multiple layers of reinforcement everywhere needed to ensure it lasts through years of use.

The Gold BJJ Calavera (around $116) is as strong as a double weave, but as light as a single, making it a very comfortable option that can stand up to lots of use without tearing or losing its shape. Its interior has an eye-catching sugar skull design.

Once you try on the Kingz Basic 2.0 (about $89) you'll be impressed by its cut and craftsmanship. It features a tough, stretch- and bacteria-resistant, vulcanized rubber collar and has patches with the company's iconic logo on each shoulder.
