SanabulCore Competition BJJ Gi for Men & Women Preshrunk Fabric IBJJF Approved Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Training & Competition Gi

I was just browsing the gi section when I came across this brand. I'd never heard of the brand before. I really liked the look of the black and purple gi so I picked one up.The look is fantastic- matches the belt haha! The sizing chart was a bit weird for me because the company said they cut their gi's larger than most. I'm 5'10 178lbs and I bought an A2. The price was right and the quality so far is wonderful.I used the company's shrinking method on the top twice and once on the pants. The top is still a touch long in the sleeves, but the rest fits great.There are only 2 very minor issues. The belt cord is getting frayed on the ends...I wish they were sealed. Other minor thing was there was still paper on the inside of the jacket around where the sewing seams are. It's all come off now, but it was weird in class because the stuff was everywhere on the mat!All in all, this is a super comfy gi and it's become one of my favorites so far.

I'm 6'2 175 lbs. Leaner lower body but broad shoulders as I was a former swimmer. I first purchased an A2 but it felt really big. I may have been able to shrink it down but wasnt going to chance if it would shrink the 3 inches as I needed it to. I returned it for an A1 and it fit almost perfectly out of the bag. Still about an inch long in the pants, but there was not excess material like in most gi's I have tried. After reading that these can be shrunk 3 inches I was careful on my first washing. I used warm water and low heat in the dryer and it shrunk a tad. So to sum it up... order one size smaller and dont overheat it in the washing process. The gi jacket is also a bit stiffer than most but I expect that to soften up over some time. Great gi great looking too. I will buy another due to its lightweight and value.

Great quality gi. The A2 fits a little tight especially after you wash it. I would definitely size up.

I just started bjj classes, so I ordered 3 different sanabul gis to decide which would fit me best as my first gi. This means I'm very inexperienced and can't compare them to other brands and qualities, but I wanted to offer the differences I noticed between them for others looking for their first gi. I'm a 5'3" female weighing about 130 lbs with some curves for reference. I've listed the 3 I ordered and notes under about each:1.) Sanabul Essentials V.2 Ultra Light Pre Shrunk BJJ Jiu Jitsu Gi (Blue, A0) See Special Sizing Guide-Lightest and thinnest feel of the material of the three-Largest wingspan in the arms, about 1.5 inches longer on each arm than the core competition style-Shorter pant length than the core competition style by about a half to 1 inch-Soft wrist and ankle holes (in the pictures this is the royal blue one)2.) Sanabul Core Competition Brazilian Jiu Jitsu BJJ Gi (See Special Sizing Guide) (Black/Blue, A0) **This One**-Thickest and heaviest feel of material of the three-Smaller wingspan than the v.2 ultra light-Longer pant length than the v.2 ultra light-Just inside the sleeves and ankles, there is a sewn-in strip of fabric that is very sharp and scratchy around the edges. I don't know if this would become softer after washes, but it was a major deal breaker for me since it was actually painful to walk around in these when they brushed against my feet and ankles (in the pictures this is the black one with electric blue accents)3.) Sanabul New Item Women's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi (Black, W2)-Between the other two in material thickness and weight-Shortest wingspan by about half inch-Shortest pant length by about half inch-A bit higher waisted than the other two, which I liked since it hit at the small of my waist. This will help the pants from going anywhere while I'm rolling-Smooth and soft wrist and ankle holes (in the pictures, this is the black one with purple threading and accents)-Much more room in the pants around the butt and slimmer cut in the kimonoI haven't washed any of these and have only tried each on briefly, but I know that if any of these are too large, you can shrink them down with hot water in the wash and a warm tumble cycle in the drier. They all seem of about the same quality, and I don't imagine they would rip easily. The collar feels about the same stiffness on each.Overall, I would highly suggest girls get the women's style unless they have a very masculine build. The material strained a bit at the bottom of a squat for me in both of the male/unisex ones, but the women's style allowed a full and easy range of motion. There was also some less fabric bunching around the back and less wide shoulders in the women's. I didn't think it would be that noticeable of a difference between the unisex and female, but there is, so I'm glad I was able to figure out early on that I should only buy women's sized gis going forward.For guys, if you're really concerned about having longer pants or a heavier gi, I would suggest the competition core, but otherwise, because of the added sharp fabric around the sleeves and ankles and I imagine the extra trapped heat while wearing, I would advise to go for the v.2 ultra light. There may be some other slight differences, but these seemed the most noticeable to me.Also, note that none of them come with belts, so remember to purchase a belt separately. Happy rolling!

This is a great giI’m 5’9” at 290 former strongman competitor.Size: A4Had to shrink the pants a bit but kimono fits perfectly. Room to move, quality fabric, feels like it will last a long time.It is thicker than I expected but I think this is prime for cooler months.Definitely on my list for yes I will buy more. The grey with red trim is a great color scheme and eye catching.Will be adding a few more to my closet.

the item was so contable to wear ..and affordable to the service and staff was so nice

These are my favorite back up Gi’s at an affordable price. I have tried elite before, but these are far superior. They run true to size chart and look quite nice. One day I would like to try out their other gear to see if their quality runs through all their line. Highly recommend these.

Great fit, super lightweight and a perfect GI for daily workouts.
