Why use a uniform specifically designed for Brazilian jiu-jitsu?
Brazilian jiu-jitsu emphasizes ground combat and grappling techniques. So it's important to have a durable, thick uniform to withstand grabs.
We've also designed a fit that limits your opponent's ability to grip and added reinforcements with double seams on the knees, shoulders, and armpits.
For greater durability, the main pieces of the uniform are triple stitched together.
The thick, rigid EVA foam collar is harder for your opponent to grab.
Why use a 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend for this Brazilian jiu-jitsu uniform?
The polyester built into our uniform makes the fabric both lighter weight and more durable.
Plus, the cotton-polyester blend reduces shrinkage after multiple washings. Drying is also faster than with a 100% cotton model.
Which size should you choose?
Here is a guide to help you choose your uniform size:
- A0: up to 165 cm and 65 kg
- A1: up to 175 cm and 75 kg
- A2: up to 185 cm and 85 kg
- A3: up to 195 cm and 95 kg
Keep in mind that a BJJ uniform will tend to shrink the first three times it is washed. It might be smart to choose a model that is 5 to 10 cm longer than the size of the jiu-jitsuka.
Caring for your Brazilian jiu-jitsu uniform
We recommend fully airing out your uniform after each use and cleaning it often. Be sure that it is stored in a dry, well-ventilated place after each use.
The first few times you wash it, use a cold water cycle. After that, be sure not to exceed a wash temperature of 30°C. Do not tumble dry.
Is your uniform a bit too large? You can try washing it at 40°C to cause slight shrinkage.
What is Brazilian jiu-jitsu?
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) was created in Brazil and gained international recognition following the victories of the Gracie family in the first mixed martial arts competitions in the United States.
The discipline emphasizes ground techniques, promoting strength, flexibility, and endurance while boosting self-confidence.
An essential part of the MMA fighter's arsenal, BJJ is critical for mastering floor combat.
