It's not its size that makes the Black Mamba one of the most dangerous animals in the world, it's its attitude, its willingness to fight to the death that sets it apart from the rest.
We are very honored to finally release the highly anticipated Black Mamba Gi in kids version too!
For this special edition dogi we have sourced some of the best and most unique fabrics to make this GI as sharp looking as the edge of a katana.
A light 325gsm pearl weave top is coupled with lightweight reinforced 8oz weave rip stop pants - When we say these are the most comfortable and durable tops & bottoms you'll ever own, we really mean it. The weight of this Gi is ideal for competition.
The internal GI jacket is sublimated with our unique artwork, while a hand printed haiku poem by Kyoshi Takayama on the inside of the jacket reminds us of the true nature of the mamba: “The Snake Flees, But The Eyes That Peered At Me, Remain In The Weeds”
Additionally a beautiful screen print of a black mamba fighting a panther adorns the inside of the jacket in soft plastisol ink. The ink will eventually being to fade, giving in time the a vintage feel.
Various high definition patches, embroideries and prints decorate the outer part of the jacket and pants.
For this kids edition the pants feature an elastic waist band and an internal drawstring.
The Gi bag that comes with this Gi is not your usual run of the mill Gi bag, This new redesigned cilindrical bag is a fully sublimated high quality Gi bag, made of heavy duty Nylon, almost twice the weight of regular Gi bags, and can double as an everyday bag for all your daily activities or even hiking. BTW the bag is fully machine washable so you can just throw it in the wash along with the GI, and have a fresh clean bag after every roll!
IMPORTANT - The GI fits a bit on the tight side - if in between sizes we recommend choosing one size larger. Please note although the Gis are pre-shrunk, please allow for an additional 3% to 4% natural fabric shrinkage after the first few washes.
