Welcome to Grapplers Graveyard, the hub for all things related to martial arts, recovery, and fitness. We recently purchased and tested out the BJJ Gi from Sanabul and have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the product. Out of all the Gi’s I own at this point (five) I would rank this at the number 2 spot of the Best BJJ Gi I currently own.
Without wasting any more time, let’s jump into our review of Sanabul’s Essential BJJ Gi.
Competition: Sanabul BJJ Gi
The Sanabul Essential Gi is one of my favorite Gi’s that I have recently purchased. It is a simple colorway with it just being black and red but the simplicity adds a cool factor to it if you ask me. I think the best thing about the Sanabul Essential BJJ Gi is that it is true to size. Their sizing chart on their website was really accurate and for the first handful of wears of this gi, it fit perfectly!
See what I threw in there though? For the first handful of wears, this Sanabul Gi did fit perfectly but after some time it started to shrink a little bit making it only useable when I train. In order to compete in a Gi it needs to have a certain length out on your arms when you put them up in front of you, after some time the Gi started to ride up and ultimately shrink on me.
Outside of this, I really do love this Gi.
