Kimono Judo and JJ

jpark4 · 07-14-2005, 10:11 PM

is there a difference between Judo Gi/Kimono and Jiu-Jitsu Gi/Kimono? or are they all the same? i'm looking around for Gi and i'm trying to find some that are decent and fairly cheap, but not too cheap. Link and suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you.

They are all Gi. Brasilians just decided to call them Kimono.

In Brasil, kimono=

In Japan, kimono=

There are differences in Judo Gi and Jiu Jitsu Gi though.

Cobra, thanks for the clearification.

you want one for jiu jitsu or you want one for judo?

Judo kimonos are bigger and have a long skirt at the bottom, JJ kimonos are smaller and tend to be all one material with no skirt

There are a number of differences between kimono and judo gi. Width of sleeves, length of jacket, how it is made. Saying they are the same is not accurate at all. Try competing in a judo competition in a BJJ kimono and you'd be disqualified.

Jon-Like Roy said there is a lot of diff between the two. JJ gis are slimmer cut and are shorter in length then a Judo gi. You can wear a Judo gi in both (judo and jj class) but a JJ gis is frowned upon in Judo.
