Known for their creative use of stitching and interesting designs, Aesthetic has been around for quite a while. They recently opened up shop in the USA and they sent over one of their new Alpha gis for us to test. How did it stack up to other gis on the market? Check it out…
A newer addition to the gi market, Sleeve & Collar is trying to set themselves apart in the gi and gear market by offering simple yet subtly unique gear to appeal to the understated jiu-jitsu athlete. They sent over their Onyx gi for review. Take a look at some best Jiu-Jitsu Gi!
I might be a bit crazy in saying this, but I think the new Scramble Standard Issue gi is the best budget gi you can get this year.
For $90 shipped, you get an incredible ‘basic’ gi and all of the patches to make it into the fully blinged out ‘Nascar status’ gi you know I love.
A relatively unknown and un-tested company on the gi market, caught my eye on social media. I was interested to see what kind of quality this company offered given their highly pleasing Hawaiian style designs.
Habrok Sports is trying to take the gi market by storm adding their product offering to the already huge gear market that is available to jiu jitsu practitioners. They are confident in their product lines and submitted their recent release, the Habrok Tatica 2.0 for review. I wore this gi for over 3 months to determine its quality, longevity and rolling performance, check out my review.
Combat Corner has made a splash in the gi market lately, mainly by selling their products as standard “gym gis.” By this I mean they offer their gis wholesale to gyms and then gyms sell them to new students. I recently had the opportunity to review one of Combat Corner’s higher end gis, the Eco 4.0. This gi exceeded all expectations during its review period!
Hayabusa is actually a Japanese word for the Peregrine Falcon. This falcon is a predator best known for its power, speed and strength — the very same attributes that are possessed by the combat athletes that make use of their products.
Hayabusa is mostly known for their MMA clothing, but they also make a pretty nice BJJ gi. Their gis are made entirely of ripstop fabric, but their most unique feature is that they have a stretch inseam similar to most mma shorts. This very unique feature sets Hayabusa apart from other brands.
They also dabble in contrast stitching, but their gis tend to be very pricey.
Venum is a pretty cool Brazilian fight company. They are based in Brazil and have offices in New York. They sponsor fighters such as Frankie Edgar, Lyoto Machida, and Sean Sherk.
They have a REALLY nice website and are very active on their Twitter account, should you ever need to get ahold of them.
TUFROL is a new company that has some nice designs and is working on developing their own brand of Gis. Like many companies, TUFROL is out of California.
Prana Kimonos really reflects a simple, urban design. Their designs are very clean and powerful.
Prana, which means “breath” in Hindi, references the universal life source that flows through every human being. Prana Kimonos believes that one’s BJJ is a reflection of their ‘Prana.’ They see BJJ as an extension of the soul, vitality, and energy that flows through you.
They also offer some really cool, clean designed shirts with bold lettering and slick logos. They’re recently put up extra pants from their OG model Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi that are definitely worth checking out. We expect future offerings from Prana to be of the same high quality as their first run.
They emphasize technique over strength, and simplicity in everything. Prana Kimonos! Protect Ya Neck!
