UPDATED: The Ultimate Kingz BJJ Gi Guide

Nearly three years ago we put out our first Ultimate Kingz BJJ Gi Guide, and it has been one of our most-read blogs every year since. Why? Probably because you – our wonderful fans – have discriminating taste and you like to know what you’re buying. We respect that.

But three years is a long time, and since then we’ve put out new iterations of our best sellers, as well as brand new models! We figured it was time to give our guide a much-needed refresh.

So, without further ado, here are all our current running BJJ gi models, their individual specs, and a little bit about why we love them so much. 

Legends Never Die Gi

The Legends Never Die Gi is an omage to one of the most beloved Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes to have ever stepped on the mat: Leandro Lo. Featuring a mid-weight 450 GSM Pearl Weave jacket and 10 oz cotton drill pants, the Legends Never Die Gi is an ultra-durable gi, loaded with special details that pay tribute to Lo’s legacy. The best part? All proceeds from this gi go toward the "Instituto Leandro Lo," a non-profit in Brazil, which will allow children and adults to change their lives and others through the art of jiu-jitsu.

Empowered Women’s Jiu Jitsu Gi

Kingz gives some love to the women’s community with probably one of the most beautifully designed women’s gis on the market. The Empowered Women’s Jiu Jitsu Gi features a lightweight 400 GSM Pearl Weave Jacket and durable 10 oz cotton drill pants, and Kingz’s own specially designed women’s cut. What makes this gi absolutely eye-catching is the unique pink-to-blue gradient embroidered details, which looks amazing both on the white and black base.

Kore V2 Jiu Jitsu Gi

Minimally designed, as usual, we’ve kept that iconic Eagle Shield logo that only the Balistico has.

We’ve even designed it to be super minimal in it’s embroidered details, saving you those extra few ounces on the competition scale. Who doesn’t love that?

Classic 3.0 Jiu Jitsu Gi

Sometimes jiu-jitsu gis can look a little too “busy” for some, what with all the embroidered details and patches and all.

The Classic 3.0 features mid-weight 450 GSM Pearl Weave Plus, which is a tighter, stronger weave, and durable 10 oz cotton drill pants.
