All-Around Brazilian Style Jiu Jitsu Uniform

I've been needing a 2nd gi for quite some time. I read all the reviews on the Fuji gi and decided to give it a try. I went to the Fuji Sports website to review the sizing chart. I'm 247lbs, 5'10" and have a 36/28 waist so I fell between the A4 & A5 sizes. I also looked at a new belt since my current one was a bit too short (120 inches - Honor Athletics - size A6) and decided on the Fuji A5 (138 inches) belt : Fuji BJJ Belts . I go by the standard of my belt is one size larger than my gi, so I ordered the A4 Fuji Gi. Upon arrival, I tried it on... the pants fit very well, slightly long... quite roomy and soft. The jackets fit was roomy, fit well on shoulders, not tight in my armpits, allowed full motion. The sleeves were just about right, about a 1/2 inch too long. I know all gi's shrink a bit after washing but I still wasn't sure. I decided to contact Fuji Sports customer service (customerservice@fujisports.com) in reference to my dilemma. To my surprise, they responded to my email within 30 minutes! They stated that with a cold wash and hang dry the gi would shrink approximately 1 in maximum... that if I thought that would be too much, they recommended I get the A5 size and to shrink it to fit. After trying the gi again, I figured that the 1 inch would be perfect so I decided to stay with the A4 size. I found the gi's quality to live up to the reviews... solid construction and very soft. I will be rolling with it next week and will update my review after some time. **UPDATE**July 24, 2013** After training with this gi, I found the jacket to be a bit snug around my waist... working on losing the gut :) The pants were still a bit long after washing them but I didn't want to put them in the dryer since the jacket would also shrink. I will keep this gi for future use once I drop a few inches. I ended up ordering a 2nd Fuji Victory gi, size A5 this time... the jacket is larger thus fits much better. I've already washed and dried in the dryer 2 times and its still too big... the sleeves are just past my hands and the pants are still too long. I'm taking it to my tailor to have the patches sewn on and do the required adjustments. As far as training with the gi goes, I have nothing but praise for the quality and workmanship of the Fuji Victory series. Very soft and strong, looks good and I see it holding up well.

Let me preface my review by saying this is the first gi I have ever worn as I just started jiu jitsu. So because I have nothing to compare it to, keep that in mind when reading this. Firstly, this gi feels very thick to me. Personally, I like this especially when utilizing my gi while rolling. Whenever I grip my gi, it feels sturdy and doesn't stretch much which I love. I really don't want a gi to have super large logos all over it and as you can see by the product images, the logos are small, clean, and very incognito. This was a major selling point for me. I am 5'8/5'9 209 pounds. I have short arms, short legs, longer torso so I have problems buying clothes. The a3 honestly fit me well. The sleeves and pants were slightly longer than I would prefer but not so much that it bothers me. There are tactics you can use in the washer to shrink it some which worked well for me. Check out youtube for a tutorial on that. All in all I love the gi, I'm about 13 classes in, maybe 9 gi classes, and so far there is no visible wear. I can not say what the durability is like over time but I don't see any possible issues in the near future.

Quality: The quality of this gi is great. I was surprised by the overall weight for a single weave but I think it will be perfect. Was a little surprised that there are not internal ties to hold the top closed without a belt. Most other martial arts tops have ties that keep it closed even if your belt comes off. I guess this is not standard in a BJJ gi. Fit: I am 5'9 and 207 lbs. 36" waist. I was on the fence about whether to buy the A3 due to height or the A4 due to weight. I think in the end it is a tough call. I have been reading across multiple sites that in my size an A3 would be perfect but you would have to line dry it to keep it from shrinking. I have decided to take the A4 which is a bit too big and shrink it in the dryer to try to get a perfect fit. Pants: Waist is huge, legs are probably 1" too long to be a perfect even when hiking up the waist. This size would probably work OK for anyone up to 6feet by relaxing the position of the waist. There are probably 5-6" more in waist than I would need but they are sized for people up to 250lbs. These would be perfect for me in an A3. Top: Actually fit is much better. Shoulders fit perfectly. Waist is perfect. Sleeves come down past the wrist to about where my thumb is connected to my hand. (a little long) Bottom of the gi top comes a bit lower below the belt than I expected. (a little long but probably ok) Short Story: Pants are a bit long if you are stocky and on the shorter size. Top is probably perfect. UPDATE: Just intentionally tried to shrink the jersey by washing in cold water then drying on high. It worked. The pants are now perfect in length sitting tied right at my waist. The jersey top still has slightly long arms but fits much more properly around my waist and under my arms. Highly recommend getting the A4 and shrinking to avoid the hassle of having to line dry every time.

This is honestly a great gi. I bought an A6 (6'3 and 295) and it is a little on the loose side but still fits, this thing feels like a luxury vehicle when you roll in it. Very soft after a few washes, but still strong. The pants are also thicker then what you usually find with a lot of gis, although a little on the long side, maybe my only complaint. I use this thing for Judo as well and it holds up amazingly well to throws, the weave and collar are actually more what you would expect for a doublweave judogi, maybe slightly thinner. My favorite thing about this gi is that it barely shrank at all; only in the sleeves, but they were long to begin with, so now the just fit perfectly. I have washed it with warm water numerous times, and put it in the dryer and it still fits fine after 3 months. I believe Fuji pre-shrinks a lot of their kimonos now, so that is a plus. Honestly if you're a bigger dude looking for a tough gi for a good price, it's hard to go wrong with this one, it's a tank. I'm gonna get another one in blue.

This was my first gi when I started jiu jitsu and became sort of the standard by which I judged other gis. It is quite a bit heavier than other gis I have owned, but also very durable and a good value. I tend to wear my gi over spats and a rash guard. Some of the lighter ones have a hard time staying in place and side up and out of my belt. This thing is heavier up top and so it tends to stay in place. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with the same sort of rope string that gi pants do, so I ended up having to buy a different draw string because the one it comes with isn't as good in my opinion. It's a good gi though.

The price is competitive, especially with shipping. The product description is accurate and delivery fast. The Gi is well made of high quality material. Using the sizing chart to find your fit can be a challenge. I am 5’11” @ 230lbs and size A4 fits me just right 3 orders after! The Fuji Gi is a little heavy at approximately 4lbs. I’ll be buying it again in a different color.

I am in love with this gi. The minute I took it out of the box it went straight to number 1 on my fave gi list. Here's why: 1) It's super cute. It is way cuter than the pic. You really can barely see the detailing in the pic but besides the little flower thing on the jacket, the pants have pretty pink stitching that is NOT obnoxiously pink. I actually like pink but you can have too much of a good thing and many gi's do. This one has just the right amount of very feminine and delicate stitching and patching. 2) It's super soft. SUPER soft. You really could wear it for pajamas. And that was straight out of the box. Now granted if you're looking for a competition gi, soft may not be your best bet. But it feels awesome and it is 100% cotton. And it has normal cotton pants not those annoying rip stop pants they keep shoving down our throats. 3) It is IBJJF approved. I have never competed but apparently IBJJF has pretty strict rules about where the patches can be and blah blah blah. You would think that gi companies would try harder to make their gis IBJJF approved but they don't. So you might sink a couple hundred bucks into a gi and then realize you can't wear it to compete. My one friend went to the worlds and he described people trying to hack patches off their pants with nail clippers or else being forced to buy a new gi on the spot at premium prices. Eek. 4) It is the best price-quality ratio I have found and I've been training 6 years. You can buy other gis for the same price but they just don't have the style. A few of the gis I got from an all-women's gi company just make me sad. 5) It fits. I don't know why it is so hard to find a gi that fits but it is. Granted, women come in all shapes and sizes but still. I mean I'm not saying it fits like a glove because then it wouldn't be a gi but it's not huge and billowy like some of them or too small like others. In short, I adore this gi and I wish I could return most of the gi's I own and just buy more of this one because I know I will wear it out and then I will cry. Now, there are a few tiny con's. The main one is that the sleeves are a bit large. Once again this is strictly a problem in competition because between being super soft and then having these large sleeve openings it's really a gift to your opponent. She could get grips and stay there all day and feel awesome about it because these sleeves won't hurt her hands. Sometimes people's gi's are like sandpaper, I have arthritis in my hands and those are killer. I actually can't think of any other con's. I love training in this gi. I love this gi, that's all there is to it. I'm going to keep an eye on the price and buy another the second it goes down. It's already a good price but I'm a cheapskate. And Fuji is Fuji, everybody has at least one Fuji and now I know why.

As a 5'3, 138 lb lean guy it can be kind of tough finding gi's that fit right. Usually you can buy some and they'll fit very clunky and loose, or you'll find some for smaller people and they end up fitting super tight and restrict your mobility a bit. I ordered an A1 size and it fit just great. The color is really cool and I got plenty of compliments on it when I got it. Not too flashy or riddled with logos and cheesy stuff like that. Feels very comfortable, doesn't leave rashes on my neck due to the collar, and it's holding up pretty strong with once a week use. Getting tossed around rolling or practicing throws and no tears or wear so far, whereas other gi's I've had would show some effect of that after a few sessions. Definitely an awesome deal for the price. I plan on buying more colors from this brand, Fuji is just great.

La tela se siente de maravillosa calidad y facilita mucho el movimiento, yo dependo mucho de mi flexibilidad y la verdad es que tengo más control de mi rango. Es al mismo tiempo suavecita y duradera, una gran inversión! Mido 1.70 y peso 63kg, decidí ir por W2 porque prefiero que me quede grandecito.

Durable

Einfach der beste Kimono für BJJ

It fits amazing I'm in love with it
