## Description

Progress Jiu Jitsu Academy Lightweight BJJ Kimono with Free White Belt - Tear-Resistant Gi for Men & Women - Black A1 : desertcart.co.uk: Fashion

Review: Nice Fitting Quality Gi - I've just stared BJJ and have now been well immersed in the world of Gi purchasing for newbies. Its a bit tricky to try and figure out what size you are and so for context, I am a male - 6'1" tall, I weigh 14.5 Stone and I would describe my physique as fairly toned under a small layer of flab...mostly around the tummy. Ultimately, I chose size A3 and tried a few brands. I didn't like the Tatami Competition Gi so much, so I tried the Progress Academy Gi. When it arrived I was really happy as it did come with the white belt as advertised and the fit is pretty much spot on. I wore it to class unwashed and it was fine and I've just washed it for the first time and I would say that it has shrunk a little bit but no more than expected. The top is quite thick and durable but the trousers are quite light - I like this blend especially in the summer. I think I will see how this holds up over the next few washes and will probably buy another one in a different colour for a bit of variety. In all in all I would recommend this Gi. Update: A few washes in now and the trousers have shrunk in length by a good inch or so which is fine if you like the look (i do). The only think i don't like is how rough the Gi top is, I will try and wash with vinegar to soften it up but it is a bit rough. I have also found the colour from the mats we roll on has rubbed onto the knees of the trousers , not sure if that will come out... I have since tried a Tatami the Original gi which is also nice - the perfect Gi for me would be the Tatami top and the Progress bottoms! Update 2: all the mat stains came out no problem. The top is still pretty rough though. In retrospect I still think the gi is good but compared to some recent Tatami offers though (£39 for the ‘original’ gi) it now seems expensive which might be unfair but the Tatami gi’s also have more appointments like nice embroidery and patches etc. I would buy another Progress Academy gi because I like the trousers, but only if they were on offer.
Review: Premium Progress - Great quality as always!

## Features

- LIGHTWEIGHT & HEAVY DUTY: Our durable Academy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi’s feature a 380GSM Pearl Weave cotton build and tear-resistant, 8 oz Ripstop Trousers. With their tough but lightweight construction, they make the perfect kimono for beginners and black belts alike and are ideal for any training gi rotation.
- BEAUTY IN SIMPLICITY: At Progress we focus on producing the best Jiu Jitsu clothing, not the flashiest logos and designs. We recently combined our clean, minimalist design with lightweight and quick-drying material. The result was the Academy Gi – a perfect addition to any bjj gi rotation.
- FREE WHITE BELT: New to Jiu Jitsu? Our BJJ clothing is perfect for athletes of any level. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or brand new to grappling (or don’t even know what grappling is!), we’ve got you covered. We even include a free white belt with each Academy Gi to help you start your Jiu Jitsu journey off right!
- 100% IBJJF LEGAL: All of our lightweight BJJ gi’s are approved by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (the governing body of international BJJ competitions). With Progress, rest assured you won’t be caught scrambling for a new gi for competition because yours isn’t approved.
