Hayabusa Pro Jiu Jitsu Gi

A:

On the IBJJF Rule Page under Article 8-Obligations, bans, and demands
Gis and uniforms its states:

Gis should be tailored using cotton or cotton-like fabric. The fabric should not be so thick or hard as to impede an opponent
from gripping it. For juvenile, adult, master and senior divisions, a gi fashioned from woven fabric is mandatory.
Gis must be of uniform color, of which the following are permissable: white, blue or black. Gis where the tops and pants are
of different colors are not permitted; nor are gis where the collar is of a different color from the rest of the top. Use of a shirt
under the gi top is prohibited (except for women).
In the adult black belt divisions (mens and women’s), the event’s organizers may demand that athletes have two gis of
different colors (one royal blue and the other white), in order to distinguish between the two athletes in a match.
Gis may not exhibit mending or tears, be wet or dirty or emanate unpleasant odors.
The gi top should reach the athlete’s thigh and the sleeves should come to no more than 5 cm from the athlete’s wrist when
the arm is extended straight parallel to the ground.
Gi pants should reach no more than 5 cm above the tibial malleolus (ankle bone). Wearing pants of any kind under gi pants is
prohibited.
Athletes should use a durable, 4- to 5-cm-wide belt colored according to the athlete’s rank, with a black tip – except for black
belts, where the tip should be white or red. The belt should be worn over the top, wrap around the waist twice, and be tied
using a double knot tight enough to hold the gi top closed. Once tied in a double knot, each end of the belt should hang 20
to 30 cm in length.
Painted gis are forbidden, unless the paint is designed in the form of an academy or sponsor logo – and only on regions of the
gi where patches are permitted. Even in cases where they are permitted, the athlete will be obliged to change gis should the
paint mark the gi of the opponent.
Prior to weighing in, an official gi inspector will check to make sure gi measurements comply with the official measurements
stipulated by the IBJJF.
• The inspection will verify whether the following official measurements are met: gi top thickness (1.5 cm), width of gi collar (5
cm), opening of sleeve at full extension (7 cm).
• Athletes have the right to 2 (two) follow-up gi-measurement inspections, should they fail to pass the first inspection.
• The gi-measurement inspector will also verify the overall state of the athlete’s belt.
The measuring stick used will be of the regulation measurements below:
• Total length of measuring stick: 15.0 cm
• Measuring stick width: 3.5 cm
• Gi lapel width: 5.0 cm
• Gi lapel thickness: 1.3 cm
• Gi sleeve opening at full extension: 7.0 cm

After weighing in, athletes may not change their gis for their first match, under penalty of disqualification.
• Following the first match, athletes may request of the Ring Coordinator permission to change gis. The new gi will undergo a
new measurement inspection.
• Athletes will be subject to disqualification should they not undergo a measurement inspection of their new gi prior to the
first match wearing the new gi.

Hygiene

Athletes will be disqualified if they are wearing hair dye that stains their opponents’ gi during a match.
Athletes should use footwear up to the match area and wherever their use is permitted.
Following weigh in, the Gi Inspector should check athletes for any skin conditions.
• Athletes presenting skin lesions noticed by the inspector shall be directed to the event’s medical area.
• Athletes should present a statement from a doctor declaring the lesion not contagious and not harmful to other
competitors.
• For the organizers of the event, the tournament medic has the final say on whether to allow an athlete to compete or not.

Further Requirements
Each athlete shall only mount the official scale of the event to have his/her weight taken once.
Athletes are allowed to weigh in without knee or elbow braces, but they will have to be wearing them at the time of the

cotton fabric and properly seamed. All patches unseamed or in unauthorized regions of the gi will be removed by the gi
inspectors.

that may cause harm to an opponent or the athlete him/herself is forbidden. Also forbidden is the use of head wear – be it
bandages, hoods or an elastic cap.
The use of joint protectors (knee, elbow braces, etc.) that increase body volume to the point of making it harder for an
opponent to grip the gi are also forbidden.

Hayabusa manufactures lightweight gis - this design inherently makes them more comfortable during the summer months. The lightweight nature of the gi is reinforced with high tensile strength and triple-weaved material (which is exclusive to Hayabusa). This helps ensure that although the gi is lightweight, the performance is anything but!
