BJJ着物とBJJ GI
A short history of BJJ Gis...
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (or BJJ) is derived from traditional Jujitsu, which is practiced with a Gi (also called kimono). A Gi is a Japanese term that can be translated as "training clothing". This outfit is mainly used in martial arts from Japan (budō).
The characteristics of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gis
A BJJ Gi is made up of a cotton jacket and trousers and a belt. It allows to keep the jacket closed and to know the rank of the fighter. The Gi used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has the particularity of being tight at the sleeves and reinforced at the level of the pants so that it is more difficult to grasp than the judo kimono (judogi), for example.
