Where to Buy a BJJ Gi Online: The Complete 2026 Buyer's Guide
Gi types, real prices, sizing, IBJJF rules, fabrics, shipping and returns, so you can order the right Jiu-Jitsu gear the first time.
Quick answer
You can buy a BJJ gi online from specialist Jiu-Jitsu stores such as Bravo, which ships worldwide from Woodbridge, Virginia, and makes gis for men, women and kids, competition gis, fully custom gis, personalized belts, rash guards and spats. Adult gis start at $79, kids' gis at $54, custom sizing is available, and orders of $300 or more ship free worldwide.
Buying a gi is different from buying normal sportswear. It has to fit your height and build, survive hard grips and hundreds of washes, and, if you compete, meet IBJJF uniform rules. This guide covers what to buy, what it costs, and how to order it well.
Why buy BJJ gear online?
Many academies stock only a few sizes of their own gi, and local martial arts shops rarely carry the full A-size range. Ordering online gives you clear advantages:
- Wider selection. Compare weaves, colors, cuts and sizes, including long and heavy fits, in one place.
- Custom design. Create your own gi, belt or rash guard with your colors, logos and academy branding.
- Transparent pricing. See prices, fabric weights and features side by side before you buy.
- Delivery anywhere. Athletes and academies around the world can order the same gear.

How to choose your BJJ gi size
Gi sizes are based mainly on height and weight rather than chest size. It takes about five minutes to get right:
- Height: measure barefoot, standing straight against a wall.
- Weight: use your current weight, not a target weight.
- Find your A size: match height and weight on the size chart, from A00 up to A6.
- Check your build: choose an L size if you're tall and slim, or an H size if you're heavier or broad.
- Check sleeves and pants: compare sleeve and leg length with the chart, especially for long arms.
- Between sizes? size up for comfort or email support for a recommendation.
| Size code | What it means |
|---|---|
| A00 – A1 | Smaller and lighter adults |
| A2 – A3 | Average adult heights and weights |
| A4 – A6 | Tall and large athletes |
| L (A1L, A2L, A3L) | Extra length for taller, slimmer builds |
| H (A2H, A3H) | Extra width for heavier, broader builds |
Men's Bravo gis are pre-shrunk, so buy the size that fits now. The exact height and weight ranges are on the Men's Gi Size Guide. Custom sizing is available if you fall outside the chart.
Ordering for an academy or team? Collect each student's height, weight and preferred size in one shared list before you submit the order.
Standard sizes vs. custom gis
| Standard gi | Custom / personalized gi | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Builds that match the A-size chart | Unusual builds, academy branding, unique designs |
| Design | Colors and styles as listed | Your colors, logos, patches and embroidery |
| Price | From $79 for adults | From $129 for adults |
| Returns | 30-day exchange on regular items | Non-returnable; replaced only if defective or damaged |
What gi fabric and weave is best?
- Pearl weave (450GSM): the most popular weave, a balance of light weight and toughness. Used for Bravo's men's gi jackets and suited to daily training and tournaments.
- Cotton twill pants: strong, flexible pants with a cotton drawstring that holds through scrambles.
- Thick, stiff collar: harder for opponents to grip and slower to wear out.
- Reinforced stress points: extra stitching at the armpits, knees and seams where gis usually tear.
- Stretch performance fabric: used for rash guards and spats, fitted to move with you in no-gi.
For washing and drying advice, see the Product Care page.
BJJ gis for women
Women need gis cut for women's proportions, not a smaller men's pattern. Bravo's women's range covers training and competition.
For inspiration, read about Kyra Gracie, the female pioneer of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
BJJ gis for kids
Kids' gis need to be light, tough and easy to wash, because children train often and grow fast. Leave a little room for growth when choosing a size.
No-gi gear and accessories
Many athletes add no-gi gear or a new belt to their gi order, which also helps reach the $300 free-shipping threshold.
- Custom long sleeve rash guard
- Custom short sleeve rash guard
- Custom spats
- Personalized belt
- Custom Champion's Choice Gi

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy a BJJ gi online?
You can buy a BJJ gi online from Bravo, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gear brand based in Woodbridge, Virginia. The range covers men's, women's and kids' gis, competition gis, fully custom gis, personalized belts, rash guards and spats. Adult gis start at $79, kids' gis at $54, many gis include a free bag and belt, and orders of $300 or more ship free worldwide.
How much does a BJJ gi cost?
At Bravo, men's and women's training gis cost about $79 to $109 depending on size, women's competition gis about $89 to $109, and kids' gis about $54 to $79. Fully custom gis with your own colors and logos cost around $129, and a kids' custom gi about $75 to $95. Personalized belts are about $99, custom rash guards about $49 and custom spats about $39.
What BJJ gi size should I get?
BJJ gis use A sizes for adults, from A00 for small builds up to A6 for very tall or large athletes. Choose your size mainly by height and weight, then check the chart on the product page. An L size, such as A2L, adds length for taller, slimmer bodies, while an H size, such as A2H, adds width for heavier builds. If you sit between sizes, email support@bjiujitsu.com for advice.
Are Bravo gis IBJJF legal?
Yes. The Bravo White BJJ Gi is made to IBJJF standards with a 450GSM pearl weave jacket, a thick collar and cotton twill pants. For IBJJF competitions, gis must be white, royal blue or black, so colors like pink or brown are best kept for training. Patches and custom logos must also follow the rules, so check the current IBJJF uniform guidelines before tournament day.
Will my BJJ gi shrink after washing?
Bravo men's gis are pre-shrunk, so you should see only minimal shrinkage after washing. To keep the fit, wash your gi in cold water after every session, turn it inside out and hang it to dry rather than using a hot dryer. Heat is the main cause of shrinkage in cotton gis. For more tips, see the Bravo Product Care page before your first wash.
Can I design my own custom BJJ gi?
Yes. Bravo lets you design your own gi, belt, rash guard, shorts and spats with your choice of colors, logos and designs. Custom gis such as the Elite Craft and Champion's Choice cost about $129, and custom sizing is available for body types that fall outside the standard chart. Customized and personalized items cannot be returned or refunded, so check every detail and measurement before ordering.
Is shipping free on BJJ gear?
Yes, on larger orders. Bravo offers free worldwide shipping on every order of $300 or more. For smaller orders, the shipping cost is calculated at checkout. Many athletes combine a gi with a belt, rash guard or spats, and academies often combine several gis, to reach the free-shipping threshold. Shipping costs are not refundable, so check your address carefully before placing your order.
Do you ship BJJ gis internationally?
Yes. Bravo ships BJJ gis and no-gi gear worldwide from the United States, and orders of $300 or more ship free to any country. Delivery time depends on your location and the carrier, and your country may charge import duties or taxes on arrival. Order well ahead of a tournament or grading, and contact support@bjiujitsu.com if you need an estimate for your destination.
Can I return or exchange a BJJ gi?
Regular items can be returned within 30 days for an exchange. Email support@bjiujitsu.com before sending anything back, and keep the gi unworn and unwashed with its original tags. Only regular items are eligible for refunds, shipping costs are not refundable, and return shipping is deducted from any refund. Customized and personalized gis cannot be returned, but defective or damaged items are replaced.
Do you sell BJJ gis for women and kids?
Yes. Bravo makes women's gis cut for women's proportions in pink, black and white, plus a women's competition gi. The kids' range includes black, blue and white training gis, a kids' competition gi and a kids' custom gi, with personalized kids' belts in K sizes. Kids' gis start at about $54, which makes it easy to outfit a young grappler who is still growing.
What do I need for no-gi BJJ?
For no-gi classes you need a fitted rash guard, grappling shorts or spats, and a mouthguard. Shorts should have no zippers or pockets, which can injure training partners or catch fingers. Avoid baggy gym clothes and wear clean gear to every session. Bravo sells custom long and short sleeve rash guards and custom spats, so you can match your no-gi kit to your academy colors.
Can academies order BJJ gis in bulk?
Yes. Academies, teams and clubs can place bulk orders for gis, belts, rash guards and spats through the Wholesale form on the Bravo website. Bravo can customize gear with your academy logo, colors and style. Collect each student's height, weight and preferred size in one shared list before you submit, and remember that orders of $300 or more ship free worldwide, which most team orders easily reach.
