Learn why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a very distinctive martial art, like
no other:
Gentle Art: No Strikes_ Jiu-Jitsu
is the oldest form of Martial Art. It literally means Gentle Art in
Japanese.
All our techniques are based on leverage, with minimum effort. Unlike
Karate and Taekwondo, our Martial
Art does not have any form of strike. No kicks nor punches.
A Complete Martial Art_ While other Martial Arts are purely
‘on their feet’, BJJ teaches you stand up, take
downs AND ground techniques. BJJ is a very well rounded Martial Art
that develops on you a complete game.
The Best Self-Defense_
It’s proven: more than 90% of the fights on the street end up on the
ground
and with a high level of contact. And that’s why BJJ has one of the
best self defense techniques
(specially for women), because:
-
It’s a full contact Martial Art;
-
It does not relay on strength; and
-
Its focus is on the ground.
BJJ is Not About Forms_
Jiu-Jitsu is a very dynamic Martial Art. It’s not only about
memorizing, but also
about timing.
BJJ is Not About Strength_ Jiu-Jitsu
is maximum of efficiency, to minimum of effort.
Chess With Your Body_
Jiu-Jitsu makes you think ahead. It’s a game of action-reaction:
almost like
playing chess with your body. The submission is the checkmate.
No One is Excluded_ Doesn’t
matter if you are tall or short, fast or slow, skinny or strong, young
or old,
man or woman. Anyone can train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and still be really
good at it. It’s just a matter of
adapting your game to your abilities. For us, brain is more important
than physical qualities.

General
Regulations of IBJJF
According
to article 8 of International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation
(IBJJF) rules, a competition gi must conform to these
specifications:
1:- The gi must be
constructed of cotton or similar material and be in good
condition. The material may not be excessively thick or hard to
the
point where it will obstruct the opponent
2:-
Colors may be black, white or blue, no combined colors (white
kimono with blue pants, etc.)
3:- The jacket is to be of
sufficient length down to the thighs, sleeves must reach the wrist
with arms extended in front of the body. The sleeve should
follow the official measurements according to IBJJF (this is
measured from the shoulder to the wrist)
4:- Belt width must be
4–5 cm, with belt color corresponding to the practitioners rank.
The belt must be tied around the waist
with a double knot,
tight enough to secure the kimono closed. An extremely worn/discoloured
belt may need to be replaced before competing.
5:- Athletes are
not permitted to compete with torn kimonos, sleeves or pants that
are not of proper length, or with t-shirts underneath the kimonos
(except for females).
6:- A BJJ
practitioner is not allowed to paint his/her gi. Exceptions can be
made for teams competition.
7:- In addition to the above
requirements, pockets of any kind are not allowed in a gi to be
used at tournaments.[4]
8:- A special gi checking tool is often
used to determine acceptable measurements and fit of the gi. This
tool resembles a block of wood
3.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 15 cm with a
slit cut in the middle and is used to measure the following:
a ) The jacket lapel must be 5 cm wide.
b) There
must be at least 7 cm of room from the bottom of the competitor's
wrist to the bottom of the sleeve.
c) The jacket
lapel must not be thicker than 1.3 cm.
Gi Patches
:
According to article 13 of IBJJF rules, patches may be
placed on the gi in one of thirteen different locations:
On the jacket:
Left upper arm
Left upper
shoulder
Front right upper shoulder
Front right upper arm
Front below the belt
Back below the belt
Back below the
collar and above the belt
On the pants:
Above the front left knee
Above the front right knee
Below
the front left knee (with at least 15 cm of space to the floor
without patch to allow for grabbing)
Below the front right knee
(with at least 15 cm of space to the floor without patch to allow
for grabbing)
Along the back of the left leg
Along the back
of the right leg
Fabric and
weave
Pants
Traditionally,
gi pants are made of a sturdy cotton, canvas, or denim (with
reinforced seams/knees). Tough and light weight materials have
started to become more popular in recent years as cooler hot
weather gis have become more popular. It is common in tournaments
to see competitors wearing ripstop pants with a standard cotton gi
top.[7]
Jacket
Single Weave Cotton:
This is lighter and typically less expensive. It is often used for
hot weather training. Being
lighter weight (typically between
300–550 g/m2), this weave is not as durable as a heavier fabric.
Gold Weave Cotton: This material is in-between the single and
double weave with regards to weight and durability. Gold
weave
is a standard that was originally required for competition by the
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Confederation, although this
has now been
relaxed to allow different jacket weaves.
Double Weave
Cotton: This Gi top is made of significantly more fabric than a
single weave. It is heavier, harder wearing,
and is typically
more expensive. The thickness of the gi can make it more difficult
for an opponent to grip the fabric,
but the weight of the gi
(typically between 650–1050 g/m2) makes them retain more heat. The
stiffness of the material can
make double weaves more abrasive
on the skin of opponents and wearers alike.
Rip stop
Fabrics: Ripstop fabrics are made of many different materials
(cotton, silk, polyester, and polypropylene, with
nylon) woven
together to produce an extremely strong and light weight material
that is difficult to tear or rip. Due to
the weave of the
material this type of Gi top can be made light weight (lighter
than a single weave gi) while still
remaining strong. Since
this material is woven thinner than cotton gis, an opponent can
more easily grab and manipulate
it.
Washing and Maintenance:
Due to the nature of wrestling/grappling and the diseases that
can come from close contact between people, the gi is
typically
washed after each class. As with most cotton products, a cotton gi
must be laundered in cold water and line
dried to avoid
shrinkage. This is important to most Jiu-Jitsu practitioners as
even pre-shrunk gi material has a tendency
to shrink further
in hot water and a hot dryer cycle. To preserve the life of the Gi
care bleaching is highly discouraged,
as this can weaken the
fibers of the material and cause them to tear more easily. Line
drying in bright sunlight is
commonly suggested to help remove
smells from the gi, due to the bacterial killing properties of UV
light. It is important
to note, however, that hanging your gi
in direct sunlight can damage the integrity of the gi's fabric and
reduce its
durability (an important quality in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu gis).
While most gis sold today are made of a
colorfast material, some manufacturers recommend that a darker
colored gi (blue,
black, red, etc.) be washed with 2-3 cups of
white vinegar the first time that the outfit is laundered. This
helps to set the dye in the
gi and will minimize fading.
