Fuji Bjj Gi Review

Full Fuji Bjj Gi Review

Comfort

Fresh out of the packaging Fuji Gi was a little stiff, but after the first wash it was great.  If this is your first BJJ Gi, know that it will seem heavy, but you get used to it.  The pants are pretty comfortable, nice enough to nap in, and the jacket grows on you after a few wears.  The collar seemed really stiff at first, but loosened up after the second wash.

Now that it is broken in, the pants are comfortable enough to sleep in, and it’s not uncommon to wear my Fuji Gi for 3 hours of classes and randori.

Quality & Durability

As I said before, Fuji is well known in the martial arts world, and with good reason.  This thing is tough!  My BJJ training was off and on for a while, but I’ve easily logged 120-150 hours in this Gi, some of it on grass in a park when we didn’t have a school available.

I’ve put my Fuji Gi through some serious movement, rolling with some maniacs and getting collar choked repeatedly early on. It’s 2 years old, and has gone through the wash 100+ times, and it’s just a tad lighter in color than when I first bought it.

I still use it regularly, and use the jacket for pullups and grip work often.

Design

The design is pretty standard. This is just the basic beginner Gi with no frills.  Nothing to complain about, and it’s worked for years. I wouldn’t call the cut of the Gi “form fitting”, but it fits pretty nicely.

I’m 5’8, slightly stocky and around 175lbs and the A3 size fits great.

Cost

Exactly what you would expect to pay for a quality, well crafted uniform for someone starting out in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Anything cheaper you could probably expect to get ripped to shreds once you start rolling.
