BJJ Belt: Whose is best?
This question pops up from time to time for various reasons.
Some people replace their bjj belt, some instructors are looking for bjj belts to buy for their students, and some students buy their own bjj belts.

What follows are the rules for the IBJJF in regards to kimonos. Keep these in mind if you have read our reviews and are looking to purchase a new gi.

I was all set to order my Scramble 1chiban. I had hyped it up for a month here on the site and I was so excited to get one.

Which was about a minute too late.
2 minutes. It took 2 minutes for them to sell out!
