FUJIAll-Around Brazilian Style Jiu Jitsu Uniform

I am in love with this gi. The minute I took it out of the box it went straight to number 1 on my fave gi list.Here's why:1) It's super cute. It is way cuter than the pic. You really can barely see the detailing in the pic but besides the little flower thing on the jacket, the pants have pretty pink stitching that is NOT obnoxiously pink. I actually like pink but you can have too much of a good thing and many gi's do. This one has just the right amount of very feminine and delicate stitching and patching.2) It's super soft. SUPER soft. You really could wear it for pajamas. And that was straight out of the box. Now granted if you're looking for a competition gi, soft may not be your best bet. But it feels awesome and it is 100% cotton. And it has normal cotton pants not those annoying rip stop pants they keep shoving down our throats.3) It is IBJJF approved. I have never competed but apparently IBJJF has pretty strict rules about where the patches can be and blah blah blah. You would think that gi companies would try harder to make their gis IBJJF approved but they don't. So you might sink a couple hundred bucks into a gi and then realize you can't wear it to compete. My one friend went to the worlds and he described people trying to hack patches off their pants with nail clippers or else being forced to buy a new gi on the spot at premium prices. Eek.4) It is the best price-quality ratio I have found and I've been training 6 years. You can buy other gis for the same price but they just don't have the style. A few of the gis I got from an all-women's gi company just make me sad.5) It fits. I don't know why it is so hard to find a gi that fits but it is. Granted, women come in all shapes and sizes but still. I mean I'm not saying it fits like a glove because then it wouldn't be a gi but it's not huge and billowy like some of them or too small like others.In short, I adore this gi and I wish I could return most of the gi's I own and just buy more of this one because I know I will wear it out and then I will cry.Now, there are a few tiny con's. The main one is that the sleeves are a bit large. Once again this is strictly a problem in competition because between being super soft and then having these large sleeve openings it's really a gift to your opponent. She could get grips and stay there all day and feel awesome about it because these sleeves won't hurt her hands. Sometimes people's gi's are like sandpaper, I have arthritis in my hands and those are killer. I actually can't think of any other con's. I love training in this gi.I love this gi, that's all there is to it. I'm going to keep an eye on the price and buy another the second it goes down. It's already a good price but I'm a cheapskate. And Fuji is Fuji, everybody has at least one Fuji and now I know why.

I've been needing a 2nd gi for quite some time. I read all the reviews on the Fuji gi and decided to give it a try. I went to the Fuji Sports website to review the sizing chart. I'm 247lbs, 5'10" and have a 36/28 waist so I fell between the A4 & A5 sizes. I also looked at a new belt since my current one was a bit too short (120 inches - Honor Athletics - size A6) and decided on the Fuji A5 (138 inches) belt : Fuji BJJ Belts.I go by the standard of my belt is one size larger than my gi, so I ordered the A4 Fuji Gi. Upon arrival, I tried it on... the pants fit very well, slightly long... quite roomy and soft. The jackets fit was roomy, fit well on shoulders, not tight in my armpits, allowed full motion. The sleeves were just about right, about a 1/2 inch too long. I know all gi's shrink a bit after washing but I still wasn't sure. I decided to contact Fuji Sports customer service ([email protected]) in reference to my dilemma. To my surprise, they responded to my email within 30 minutes! They stated that with a cold wash and hang dry the gi would shrink approximately 1 in maximum... that if I thought that would be too much, they recommended I get the A5 size and to shrink it to fit.After trying the gi again, I figured that the 1 inch would be perfect so I decided to stay with the A4 size. I found the gi's quality to live up to the reviews... solid construction and very soft. I will be rolling with it next week and will update my review after some time.**UPDATE**July 24, 2013**After training with this gi, I found the jacket to be a bit snug around my waist... working on losing the gut :) The pants were still a bit long after washing them but I didn't want to put them in the dryer since the jacket would also shrink. I will keep this gi for future use once I drop a few inches. I ended up ordering a 2nd Fuji Victory gi, size A5 this time... the jacket is larger thus fits much better. I've already washed and dried in the dryer 2 times and its still too big... the sleeves are just past my hands and the pants are still too long. I'm taking it to my tailor to have the patches sewn on and do the required adjustments.As far as training with the gi goes, I have nothing but praise for the quality and workmanship of the Fuji Victory series. Very soft and strong, looks good and I see it holding up well.

This is my second All Around Gi from Fuji. I was a Tatami guy for 14 years. I bought my first all around gi about three years ago and it became my favorite Gi. A couple reasons it is my favorite; I am 6’2” and 245 lbs, the A4 fits like a glove and has a nice soft broken in feeling right out ofthe bag. Secondly the collar is layers of fabric and not the stiff EVA foam, I like that because it doesn’t force my head forward or get in the way when i roll. I’ve been training in the gi for almost 17 years now and for me comfort is everything. other than that the durability of the Gi is second to none, the fabric is a cotton poly blend so it doesn’t shrink like all cotton Gi’s and is also much moredurable. My other Gi’s at about three years the collarsstart to fray. Not my Fujis.

This is honestly a great gi. I bought an A6 (6'3 and 295) and it is a little on the loose side but still fits, this thing feels like a luxury vehicle when you roll in it. Very soft after a few washes, but still strong. The pants are also thicker then what you usually find with a lot of gis, although a little on the long side, maybe my only complaint. I use this thing for Judo as well and it holds up amazingly well to throws, the weave and collar are actually more what you would expect for a doublweave judogi, maybe slightly thinner. My favorite thing about this gi is that it barely shrank at all; only in the sleeves, but they were long to begin with, so now the just fit perfectly. I have washed it with warm water numerous times, and put it in the dryer and it still fits fine after 3 months. I believe Fuji pre-shrinks a lot of their kimonos now, so that is a plus. Honestly if you're a bigger dude looking for a tough gi for a good price, it's hard to go wrong with this one, it's a tank. I'm gonna get another one in blue.
