Best BJJ Gi for comps

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts from people prepping for their first competition and stressing over which gi to wear. Most of the advice out there either pushes super expensive gis or skips over the stuff that actually gets people DQ’d or uncomfortable on comp day.

So I put together a competition-focused gi guide on Grapplers Graveyard based on real tournament rules and experience.

Quick takeaways if you don’t want to read a full article:

• ⁠IBJJF legality matters more than brand or looks

• Lightweight gis help with heat and weigh-ins but durability still matters

• ⁠Fit is critical. Sleeves and pants failing checks is way more common than people think

• ⁠You don’t need a “pro” gi to compete successfully

• Training in your comp gi ahead of time avoids nasty surprises

The goal was just to help people avoid rookie mistakes that mess with their first few competitions.

If you’re competing soon or thinking about it, here’s the full breakdown:
