Competitions are strict. A strict training regimen, a strict diet, even stricter competition rules, and as of June 2024 all new regulations about what GIs are allowed at IBJJF tournaments, and which not.
We can’t help you with which leg positioning is considered reaping, and which one is not, but what we can do is definitely remove all the stress of stepping up to the the GI checker officer, and being DQ for a BS reason like the stitching on the pants is not IBJJF complainant.
We have therefore hired a nuclear scientist, a NASA former astronaut, and even asked Chat GPT to solve the hardest equation known to men - How to create a competition kimono that meets all the strict IBJJF regulations, and yet still can help you kick ass on the mats?
This is why we have developed the new Yurei Competition GI. A lightweight 380GSM Pearweave top, with tapered, but comfortable construction is matched with 10oz ripstop pants that fit in the range defined by IBJJF regulations.
As per Federation rules, the weight of the GI is printed on the jacket and the pants to avoid confusions, and delays at the scale.
Being an Halfsumo kimono though we added a few discreet design details where allowed that enhance the overall look of this BJJ battle armor.
The large canvas that is the jacket inside yoke allowed us to choose the best BJJ submissions from our popular Submission Art posters, and reproduced them in hi-def inside the kimono.
May the Irezumi styled submission art guide all the warriors wearing this kimono to the highest steps of the podium!
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.
The GI fits like a modern tapered GI - It is pre-shrunk, but please allow for an additional 4% to 8% natural fabric shrinkage after the first few washes.
