Jiu-Jitsu has always signified something more than just armbars and chokes. Closely tied to surf culture since its inception, BJJ has exposed millions of practitioners around the globe to a lifestyle of embracing nature & healthy foods. Reminding us to appreciate all the simple moments in life, BJJ points us in the direction of a lifestyle of pure life, or as our friends from Costa Rica would call it a lifestyle of PURA VIDA.
When creating this new and unique looking Gi, we wanted to source a new fabric that is innovative yet meet all of today’s demanding needs for both training and competition. We therefore selected a light yet durable 350gsm Star Weave and matched it with some comfortable lightweight 10oz rip stop pants. Soft to the touch, but very durable even after many washes, this fabric combination ideal also for athletes looking for a reliable GI to travel with, as it’s lightweight makes it the perfect travel companion.
Timeless and tireless effort has been spent to assure the perfect everyday fit, comfort enough to not impede any range of motion, snug enough to avoid those pesky opponent’s grips.
The internal GI jacket is sublimated with our unique Half Sumo Irezumi style artwork, colorful and inspired by nature & and the wildlife that one will find in a tropical jungle.
Various high definition patches, embroideries and prints decorate the outer part of the jacket and pants. Discover also a unique Haiku style poem printed on the inside of the jacket.
We have also included an unique high quality Gi bag, fully sublimated with Half Sumo's unique detailed hand drawings. This 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! The shape of the bag makes it a great day backpack either you chose to use it to carry your GI or any other item/gear.
BONUS: With every Gi comes also a flat woven Jaguar patch which you may chose to sew to your GI or wherever you see fit.
The GI fits like a modern tapered GI - It is pre-shrunk, but please allow for an additional 5% natural fabric shrinkage after the first few washes.
