The
BJJ kimono
is an outfit specially designed for the practice of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
It is mainly distinguished by a thick and resistant fabric, as well as reinforcements at the joints and at the ends of the sleeves and the pants.
It thus makes it possible to carry out catches and projections without risk of tearing the garment.
Unlike karate which favors strikes, it is a contact sport which sometimes requires continuing a confrontation on the ground.
However, be careful not to confuse the BJJ kimono with the one dedicated to judo.
The latter is wider in order to adapt to different fighting techniques.
There are several categories of BJJ kimonos.
There are models for women, men, as well as children.
The variety of sizes therefore makes it possible to adapt to different sizes.
To practice this martial art in the best conditions, this sports outfit also stands out for the weight of the material, the quality of the yarn and the weaving method, such as a "single" or "pearl" pattern.
As a general rule, the BJJ kimono consists mainly of cotton.
However, it is possible to find outfits made of synthetic fibers such as polyester.
These are very light and dry faster.
The risk of the garment shrinking is also less.

Why choose a special BJJ kimono?
The practice of a martial art implies the learning and mastery of specific combat techniques.
Depending on the discipline concerned, we focus on striking with the hands or the legs.
Some practices are oriented towards holds, projections, as well as hand-to-hand combat.
This is particularly the case with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, some methods of which are similar to aikido and judo.
Choosing a kimono specially designed for Brazilian jiu-jitsu means that you have a garment adapted to this martial art.
The fabric has tighter meshes and therefore more resistant.
This allows a firmer grip of the opponent, without fear of tearing, deforming or altering the BJJ kimono.
The latter is therefore recommended for learning, as well as for perfecting Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
It is also possible to opt for mixed outfits, for men, women or children.
What is the difference between the BJJ kimono and other kimonos?
As mentioned above, the main difference between a BJJ kimono and a model dedicated to other martial arts lies in its solid outfit.
The cotton mesh is particularly tight.
Likewise, the collar is thick thanks to specific padding.
This minimizes the risk of being caught at this level, as well as strangulation techniques.
In addition to being suitable for ground combat, the kimonos for Brazilian jiu-jitsu are also distinguished by the following additions and elements:
reinforcements at the elbows, crotch, armpits and knees;
reinforced hems at the bottom of the sleeves and pants;
sleeves and pants that can have between two and four rows of seams.
Be careful not to confuse a BJJ kimono with a similar outfit for judo.
The latter is cut more ample so that the opponent's grip is less easy.
Indeed, this martial art favors holds, as well as projections.
However, there are kimonos designed for the practice of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo.
Still others focus on training or competition.
In any case, it is recommended to provide a sports bag to transport it easily.
Where to buy a BJJ kimono?
It is possible to buy a BJJ kimono from specialized shops and sports stores.
Depending on the brand and its offer, you can find classic models, white in color, or with other colors.
For the purchase online or in a physical store, the fact of soliciting an expert seller allows you to benefit from informed advice.
Among the recommendations, he can dwell on the main selection criteria to be favored.
In particular, the following elements can be mentioned:
the cut and size of the BJJ kimono;
the weight of the material;
the weaving and the quality of the yarn…
The advice of a specialist also depends on your level as a beginner or experienced Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter.
You can also buy your BJJ kimono online.
If trying on the garment is not feasible, you still benefit from similar expertise.
This without forgetting flexible payment terms, additional services, as well as home delivery and return facilities in the event of parts unsuited to your needs.
How to wash your BJJ kimono?
Like other garments, the BJJ kimono must have a label that presents the washing recommendations.
This is located inside the jacket and pants.
As a reminder, the kimono is mainly made of cotton.
This sports garment is therefore likely to shrink after being washed in the washing machine.
This reaction varies according to the quality of the material, its weaving and its assembly.
Count a reduction of 5 to 10 cm after several cleanings.
As a general rule, it is recommended to wash your BJJ kimono with a cycle at 30°C.
Thus, the water is not too hot to minimize the phenomenon of shrinkage of the garment.
As an indication, the latter mainly impacts cotton BJJ kimonos, less those designed with synthetic fibers.
Ideally, do not hesitate to favor a cold wash.
In any case, it is essential not to put it in the dryer.
Indeed, it is preferable to leave it in the open air in order to preserve its hold and its solidity.
