The ASICS Matflex 8 impressed us with its clean design, supportive construction, and affordable price. However, two weeks of collegiate wrestling revealed inconsistent traction and a tight fit for wide feet. Here’s why our impressions differed and what to consider before buying.
The Adidas Combat Speed impressed us with its low weight, flexibility, and close-to-the-mat feel, but live testing also exposed some limitations in side traction and support. Here’s how it performed after two and a half weeks of real wrestling use.
The Nike Inflict 4 is a lightweight, breathable wrestling shoe designed for speed, flexibility, and a secure feel on the mat. In our review, we break down its fit, traction, comfort, and overall value to help you decide whether it is the right shoe for your wrestling style.
The Gold BJJ Camo Grappling Shorts are one of those pieces that quietly earn a permanent spot in your rotation. They deliver consistent performance, hold up over time, and strike a strong balance between comfort and value without overcomplicating things.
Gold BJJ makes one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu rash guards we’ve tested, hands down. It strikes that rare balance between performance and value: lightweight and breathable for long training sessions, comfortable right out of the box, and finished with a clean, modern design that stands out without being over the top.
If you’re looking for a rash guard that won’t break the bank but still delivers where it matters, this is a serious contender. Dive into our full review for a detailed breakdown of how it performs on the mats.
The Tatami Super Light BJJ Gi delivers a surprisingly comfortable balance between durability and lightweight performance. At 300 GSM, it’s technically heavier than some ultralight options, but on the mat it feels far lighter than expected, making it a solid choice for grapplers who want a breathable gi without sacrificing structure or comfort.
Buying a BJJ gi for kids doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. Kids grow fast, gis get washed a lot, and most parents just want something comfortable, durable, and competition-legal without overspending.
We put together a simple guide breaking down the best BJJ gis for kids, focusing on affordable options that actually hold up to training — plus how many gis your child really needs and what mistakes to avoid.
Training BJJ in hot weather changes everything. Thick gis trap heat, drain energy, and make hard rounds even harder — especially in places like Arizona where summer never lets up.
We put together a guide breaking down the best BJJ gis for hot weather, including ultra-lightweight training options (that aren’t IBJJF legal — and that’s okay) plus competition-legal picks that still work in warm gyms.
If you train in the heat, this guide will save you discomfort, fatigue, and bad gear choices.

If you’re competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, your gi matters more than most people realize.
The right comp gi can make grip fighting harder for your opponent, improve mobility during scrambles, and keep you comfortable under tournament pace all the while still staying fully IBJJF legal.
We wrote this guide and broke down the best BJJ gis for competition based on real training and testing, including premium picks, budget-friendly options, and what to look for if you want a gi that gives you a legal edge on match day.

This White Belt Buyer’s Guide breaks everything down in plain English. We’ll cover what actually matters when buying a BJJ gi as a beginner, common mistakes to avoid, and the best value options that balance comfort, durability, and competition legality. Whether this is your first gi or you’re upgrading from a starter set, this guide will help you make a confident, no-regret purchase.

We put together a complete guide breaking down how to choose the right BJJ gi based on fit, weave, weight, durability, climate, and real training experience. Plus, the gis on our list have all been personally tested and scored.
