Progress Jiu Jitsu Academy Gi | Lightweight BJJ Gi with Free White Belt | BJJ Kimono for Men & Women | Tear-Resistant Jiu Jitsu Kimono for Training & Competition | Women's & Men's Kimono

I've just stared BJJ and have now been well immersed in the world of Gi purchasing for newbies. Its a bit tricky to try and figure out what size you are and so for context, I am a male - 6'1" tall, I weigh 14.5 Stone and I would describe my physique as fairly toned under a small layer of flab...mostly around the tummy. Ultimately, I chose size A3 and tried a few brands. I didn't like the Tatami Competition Gi so much, so I tried the Progress Academy Gi. When it arrived I was really happy as it did come with the white belt as advertised and the fit is pretty much spot on. I wore it to class unwashed and it was fine and I've just washed it for the first time and I would say that it has shrunk a little bit but no more than expected. The top is quite thick and durable but the trousers are quite light - I like this blend especially in the summer. I think I will see how this holds up over the next few washes and will probably buy another one in a different colour for a bit of variety. In all in all I would recommend this Gi. Update: A few washes in now and the trousers have shrunk in length by a good inch or so which is fine if you like the look (i do). The only think i don't like is how rough the Gi top is, I will try and wash with vinegar to soften it up but it is a bit rough. I have also found the colour from the mats we roll on has rubbed onto the knees of the trousers , not sure if that will come out... I have since tried a Tatami the Original gi which is also nice - the perfect Gi for me would be the Tatami top and the Progress bottoms! Update 2: all the mat stains came out no problem. The top is still pretty rough though. In retrospect I still think the gi is good but compared to some recent Tatami offers though (£39 for the ‘original’ gi) it now seems expensive which might be unfair but the Tatami gi’s also have more appointments like nice embroidery and patches etc. I would buy another Progress Academy gi because I like the trousers, but only if they were on offer.

Nice quality, better after a decent number of washes as they loose some stiffness. Its a good trade off as getting the lightweight stuff and training 4 days a week tends to ruin them pretty quick but these, so far, surviving

I am happy with my purchase.

This gi is so comfortable and breathable when I get hot, I might have to buy it in black if they have it iswell

As described, good product and quality

Great project, very good price too.

Great quality as always!

The free belt was not included in the package. At first the seller refused to resolve the issue after they were contacted. All I wanted was to get the belt. They suggested a refund for the price of the belt and it took around 2 weeks. The gi itself feels OK, the legs feel a bit narrow though.

The fit was strange, it was tight under the arms and neck. Material quality felt average. Returned this item. It at least came with a belt and a bag.

good quality for rolling a bit pre-shrunk but will shrink more even when washing on 20 degrees i felt like it shrank a little bit sizing for me on 175cm/78kg works well, was a bit long on arms and legs to begin with but after washing shrunk to a good size very wide on the hips but i think all Gi's have this and you just pull the cords tight to fit your hips but no complains all in all solid Gi for the price

Sehr gut geeignet für BJJ. Leicht, reißfest und bequem. Preisleistung passt.

Excelente…mido 1,65 y peso 85 …tengan en cuenta que enconje considerablemente

Greate material, awsome quality, the sizing is somewhat on the large size., belt is also kind of long for an A2.,
