Sizing Guide For BJJ Gi
BJJ Gi Size Chart & Fit Guide
Finding the right BJJ Gi size is important for comfort, movement, and performance on the mats. Elite Sports Gis use advanced sizing and may not match other Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brands, so we recommend measuring your height and weight before ordering.
Use the men’s, women’s, and kids’ BJJ Gi size charts below to choose the correct Elite Sports gi size. If you are between sizes, consider whether you prefer a closer competition-style fit or a roomier training fit.
Elite Sports BJJ Gi Sizing
Elite Sports BJJ Gis are designed with a precise fit for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training, sparring, and competition.

- Women’s BJJ Gi sizes: F0, F1, F2, F3, F4

How Should a BJJ Gi Fit?
A BJJ Gi should fit close to the body without restricting movement. The jacket should allow comfortable shoulder movement, gripping, and guard work, while the sleeves and pants should not feel excessively long, loose, or baggy.
For daily training, many athletes prefer a comfortable fit with enough room to move freely. For competition, some athletes prefer a slightly closer fit, but the gi should still allow full range of motion and comply with current tournament uniform rules.
What If You Are Between BJJ Gi Sizes?
If you are between two BJJ Gi sizes, choose based on your preferred fit. Pick the smaller size for a closer competition-style fit, or choose the larger size if you want more room for daily training.
Because cotton gis may shrink slightly after washing, always follow the care instructions on your gi. Washing in cold water and hang drying can help preserve the fit and reduce unwanted shrinkage.
Do Elite Sports BJJ Gis Fit Like Other Brands?
Elite Sports uses its own BJJ Gi sizing system, so our gis may not match the size you wear in another Jiu Jitsu brand. Always measure your height and weight and use the Elite Sports size chart before ordering.
This is especially important for beginners buying their first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi and for athletes switching from another brand.

Once you find your BJJ Gi size, complete your training setup with the right gear for Gi and No-Gi training. Elite Sports offers BJJ Gis, rash guards, grappling shorts, belts, and No-Gi apparel for beginners, daily training, and competition.
