Adult Judo Gi

A club gi is typically lighter (around 350g) and more affordable, designed for regular training use. A competition gi is heavier, stiffer and built to meet IJF approval standards required for official tournaments. Competition gi are more durable under gripping pressure but less comfortable for everyday training. Most practitioners own both — a club gi for training and a competition gi for gradings and tournaments.

Yes — if you are competing in IJF-sanctioned events, your gi must carry the official IJF approval label. Club competitions and gradings often accept any clean, well-fitted white or blue gi. Check with your club or governing body if you are unsure. Our IJF-approved gi are clearly labelled in the product listings.

Judo gi are measured in grams per square metre (GSM) or overall weight. Lighter gi (350g–450g) are ideal for training — breathable and easy to move in. Heavier gi (500g–990g) are preferred for competition as they are harder to grip and more durable. Beginners should start with a lighter club gi and upgrade as they progress.

Yes — we stock adult judo gi in both white and blue across our range. White is the traditional colour and accepted at all levels. Blue gi are required for one competitor in IJF competition format. Check individual product listings for available colour options.
