Men's BJJ Gis & Jiu-Jitsu Kimonos

39 products

Kingz men's Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) gis are built for daily training and the competition mats. Every jacket is pearl weave, from the 380 GSM Kore V2 to the 480 GSM Balistico 4.0, and most models are IBJJF legal in white, blue and black. Sizes run from A00 to A6, with long (L) and husky (H) fits in the middle sizes.

How to choose a BJJ gi

Jacket weight (GSM). GSM is grams per square metre of jacket fabric. Around 380 GSM feels light and dries quickly, which suits hot rooms and practitioners making weight. 450 to 480 GSM feels thicker and harder to grip, and lasts through years of hard training.

Weave. Pearl weave is the standard for modern gis: strong, light for its weight and comfortable against the skin. Ripstop pants are lighter and quick-drying; cotton and twill pants feel more traditional.

Fit and shrinkage. 100% cotton gis shrink when washed hot or tumble dried. The AIRlite, Ultralight 2.0 and Balistico 4.0 are pre-shrunk, so they hold their size. Wash cold and hang dry to keep any gi fitting the way it did on day one. Check the size guide before you order.

Competition. For IBJJF events your gi must be white, royal blue or black. Colour editions are for training.

What GSM should my BJJ gi be?
