Making a Splash: 5 Brands to Keep an Eye on in 2018
We published this post back in 2012 and, five years later, we’re updating it to become more relevant with the times.

It seems like everybody knows a guy who went to Pakistan to see the gi factories and he said…
Well, let’s cut out all the speculation.
Just in case you were ever wondering how a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi is made or what the inside of a Gi “factory” in Pakistan looks like, you’ll enjoy the photos below. My overall estimation is that very good craftsmanship can be done with very limited resources. Thanks to Nick from OSS! Fightwear for letting us have this glimpse into the whole process.

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. Unless you only want it for training, be sure to follow the guidelines. If you’ve never been to an International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation tournament, you have never seen the gi checks they do.

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!
