How should a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gi fit?

A properly fitted gi should allow a full range of motion without excess fabric. The jacket sleeves should reach your wrists when your arms are extended, and the pants should reach your ankles. The gi should be snug but not restrictive, allowing you to train comfortably while meeting IBJJF competition standards.

Can I customize the fit of my gi?

Our comprehensive sizing system, including Long, Broad, and Short variations, means most practitioners can find an excellent fit without alterations. However, minor adjustments by a tailor are possible if needed, though this may affect IBJJF compliance.

Product Details

What makes Kajimono gis different from other Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gis?

Kajimono gis combine premium quality materials and construction with fair, accessible pricing. We focus on minimalist design, durability for frequent training, and IBJJF compliance without inflated markups or artificial scarcity. Our sizing is specifically optimized for Australian guide sizes and different body types.

Are Kajimono gis IBJJF-compliant?

The Kajimono Classic line is our standard for IBJJF-approved performance.

Please note that our 'Special Edition' series focuses on unique aesthetics that may deviate from competition requirements.

We recommend looking out for IBBJF-compliant descriptions or using our search filters to verify compliance before your purchase.

What material are Kajimono gis made from?

Our gis are crafted from high-quality fabric selected to balance strength, comfort, and breathability. The construction features reinforced stitching at all stress points to withstand intensive training sessions and frequent washing.

What colors are available?

Our current collection is available in classic colors that comply with IBJJF regulations. Check the product page for available color options.

How durable are Kajimono gis?

Kajimono gis are engineered for practitioners who train 3-4 times per week. With reinforced stitching at critical stress points and high-quality fabric, our gis are built to endure repeated sessions, hard grips, and regular washing while maintaining their integrity.

Care & Maintenance

How do I wash my Kajimono gi?

Wash your gi in cold water to preserve fabric integrity and prevent shrinkage. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach. Wash your gi separately for the first few washes to prevent color transfer.

Can I use hot water or bleach on my gi?

No. Hot water can cause shrinkage and damage fabric fibers. Bleach weakens the fabric and can cause discoloration. Always wash in cold water without bleach to maintain your gi's performance and appearance.

How often should I wash my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gi?

Wash your gi after every training session. This prevents bacteria buildup, odors, and maintains hygiene on the mat. Proper care after each use extends the life of your gi.

Will my gi shrink?

Our GIs are pre-shrunk. Following our care instructions (cold wash, hang dry, or low heat tumble dry) will minimize any additional shrinkage and help your gi maintain its size.

Returns & Exchanges

What is Kajimono's return policy?

We do not accept returns or exchanges. We encourage all customers to carefully review the Size Guide and product details before ordering. If you have questions about sizing or fit, please contact us before purchasing.

What if my gi arrives damaged or defective?

If your gi arrives with a manufacturing defect or shipping damage, contact us immediately with photos of the issue. We stand behind the quality of our products and will work with you to resolve the situation.

Can I cancel my order?

Orders can be cancelled if they haven't shipped yet. Contact us as soon as possible after placing your order if you need to cancel.

About Kajimono

What does Kajimono mean?

Kajimono blends “Kaji” (representing fire and passion) with “Mono” from Kimono, the traditional martial arts uniform. The name reflects our philosophy of combining passion with discipline.

Where is Kajimono based?

Kajimono is an Australian-based brand created for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners who value discipline, quality, and fair pricing.

Why did Kajimono start?

We created Kajimono to close the gap between premium quality and accessible pricing in martial arts gear. We saw dedicated practitioners training consistently while premium brands created artificial scarcity and inflated prices. We believe quality should be earned through consistency, not exclusivity.

Who is the Kajimono gi designed for?

Kajimono gis are designed for practitioners who train 3-4 times per week, value durability and clean aesthetics, and want premium quality without inflated pricing. Whether you're training for personal development or competition, our gis support your journey.

Will Kajimono release more products?

Is this gi suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. Kajimono gis are designed for practitioners at all levels. Whether you're beginning your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey or preparing for competition, our gis provide the durability, comfort, and quality you need.

How many gis do I need for regular training?

For training 3-4 times per week, we recommend having at least two gis. This allows proper drying time between sessions and extends the life of each gi. Some practitioners prefer three or more for maximum convenience.
