The original Jiu Jitsu Gi was based on the Japanese Judo Kimono, when Japanese jiu jitsu was introduced to Brazil the fighters would all be wearing the japanese Judo kimono, after the devolopment of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style of ground fighting, they were soon to find out the sleeves and trousers were way too loose and allowed your opponent to exert too much control, using the loose strong clothing to shut his opponent down affecting the flow of the fight, which would become quite boring.
After some miner adjustments of the Jiu jitsu gi the fighters became much more mobile, leading to an exiting contest. The wording Jiu jitsu gi is actually an American term for the original Brazilian term of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu kimono.
Training in Brazilian Jiu jitsu, it is important to have a decent Uniform.You will be amazed at the stresses placed on the gi during sparing, the gi is constantly pulled and tugged, wrapped around your throat and stetched like there is no tomorrow!
Therefore is is important to purchase a gi grom someone that knows all the above and wouldnt supply a jiu jitsu gi without all the vital re-informent required in all the right places. When deciding on a gi, dont go by price alone, also dont go just by the branding, you just want a jiu jitsu gi that covers all the following points.
1/ II's a good fit! Not too big and not too small, ask if it shrinks and if so, by how much, the sleeves want to cover your whole wrist, ever if pre-shrunk, allow for a couple of centemeters in the sleeves.
2/ Re-inforsement under the armpits, in the split of the gi jacket.
3/ Thick stiff colllar.
4/ Re-inforced at the ends of the sleeves as with modern jiu jitsu a lot of the control techniques use the sleeves.
5/ Reasonably tight trousers, the trousers are used a lot with sweeping techniques applied from the guard.
