FUJIAll-Around Brazilian Style Jiu Jitsu Uniform

This is my second All Around Gi from Fuji. I was a Tatami guy for 14 years. I bought my first all around gi about three years ago and it became my favorite Gi. A couple reasons it is my favorite; I am 6’2” and 245 lbs, the A4 fits like a glove and has a nice soft broken in feeling right out ofthe bag. Secondly the collar is layers of fabric and not the stiff EVA foam, I like that because it doesn’t force my head forward or get in the way when i roll. I’ve been training in the gi for almost 17 years now and for me comfort is everything. other than that the durability of the Gi is second to none, the fabric is a cotton poly blend so it doesn’t shrink like all cotton Gi’s and is also much moredurable. My other Gi’s at about three years the collarsstart to fray. Not my Fujis.

Durable and comfortable!

Tried this on right out of the package and it was soft and comfortable. Heavier than my previous Sanabul kimonos. I'll need to wash and dry it a couple of times to shrink it until it fits just right. I ordered an A3, I'm 5'11" and 185 pounds so I'm closer to the bottom end of the size recommendations. I train with several people who use Fuji kimonos, both Jiujitsu players and Judoka. This seems to fit and feel closer to a Judo gi than what I'm used to but I actually kind of like that. Hopefully this lasts longer before it starts to show signs of wear than my Sanabul kimonos.

Jacket is kinda heavy but it makes it durable. So depends on what you’re looking for there. The pants are soft and have a weird waist string for tightening them. I’d definitely prefer other pants, they’re also a bit long.

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.

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.
