Is this a BJJ gi or a Judo Gi? I just hate wide sleeves and loose pants.

This is a BJJ gi. The sleeves are BJJ cut. The pants are similar to my other BJJ gis, Fuji for example.

We've used it for BJJ. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. It's not tight fitting.

I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40. The differnce with and withoutPads are huge on the mat. I have not wore pads under my gi so I can't speak to if they will hang on the cotton or not. I would guess they will be fine under gi. I know without the gi my shots are twice as fast with the pads and my knees are very happy. They are not as bulky as they look in the picture. I have 3 of my wrestlers wearing these and they love them. Measure your knee and get the right size. If you are borderline go for the smaller size. I think they have an extra small. If they are too big they will slide around. That is useless to you. Good luck and happy knees. I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40.

not really. there is quite a bit of velcro that makes them a bit stiff at the front closure. great for sparring, not so much for sleeping. my opinion

J. Napier & Spanky, I ordered the holster b/c of the "Universal" description. Received & just opened to verify.If in fact it is designed to retrofit for left-leg...I haven't figured out how! In fact, I just spent 30-minutes trying to find some feed-back from UTG (or someone...) & found these two related posts.SOMEONE confirm please???

Mira,Yes, it is a lightweight 8 oz. Gi and will not be too heavy. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.SteveThe Martial Arts Store(770) 441-9946

I think the sizing runs accurate. When I first got them they were a little tight fitting. Now after a few months of no gi BJJ and muay thai they fit fine!

This gi is bigger than all my other gis. I wear A3 gis but this one is big. And I think it does not shrink when you machine wash and dry it.

Hey bigman, I would recommend a Fuji Gi, they are only a little more money than this Gi and will not shrink like this cheaper type after washing. You 'will' sweat a lot in this heavy weight Gi, especially in the summer, so I would try a light weight Gi if possible. The Fuji Gi sizes are much more accurate. This Gi was too big for me and then shrunk a lot after washing. Always wash any Gi in cold water only and hang dry...no machine dry. Look on the name brand Gi size charts for the right fit. I'm 5'-7" 155lbs and an A2 Fuji Gi is perfect for me. The tops of this type of Gi can be a bit long (more like a Judo Gi), so its worth spending around $90 for a Fuji or Venum, I've been much happier with those two brands. Cheaper generic Gi's don't fit well and shrink...big time. Good luck

Hi there Talise, I found the quality of the gi excellent, but they actually run a bit bigger. I ordered a "4" and it feels like a "5"..hope that helps and enjoy your training:)

I'm looking for an answer to this as well. I'm 5'10" and 185lb. Most of the people answering questions here are in the 170lb range. I have a Fuji gi and the A4 top fits just right, but the A4 pants are kind of loose. Everyone here seems to think the pants run large, so what I would really like is to get an A4 top and, maybe, A3 pants. I wonder if anyone sells like that.

Don't get this one, the fit is not very good. Try Fuji, the size chart will be accurate and they are around $90. I've had a Fuji Gi for 3 years now and its holding up well, no shrinkage. As with all Gi's wash in cold water and hang to dry...no machine. I'm 5'-7" and an A2 fits me well.

Well I'm about the same height and weigh a little more so I recommend u go for an "A3" Gi. That's what I got and I have plenty of room

The waistband is 2 inches wide. Since I have a bigger belly than the guy in the ad I do get some rolling of the waistband. I guess I am accustomed to it because that doesn't bother me. I still get the support I need.

No, this is not a Gracie gi but it is a good quality training gi for a great price. Hope that helps.

Jimae , the only patches are on the shoulders which appears you could remove them. But, are you sure your dojo doesn't just mean white gis in particular vs. black , camo , red gis . May want to inquire before tearing the patches off

I guess you´d have to get small size. Mine fit pretty well and worked great for bjj. Good luck!
