Jiu Jitsu Gi Size Chart

Gold BJJ Gi Size Chart

This size chart is for unisex sizes (A0 to A5) for all of our gis. We also offer our gis in womens' and kids' cuts.

You might find that your frame is suitable for multiple sizes - gi sizing is a matter of personal taste. If you like a tighter, more slim fitting cut you should err toward the smaller size. If you prefer extra room in your gi you can choose the larger size in your range.

While we use pre-shrunk fabric in all of our gis, you can still expect some shrinkage (especially if you're washing in hot water, or tumble drying). A good rule of thumb is heavier weight gis (like our Valiant or Calavera) will shrink more than lighter weight gis (like our Aeroweave). For more information on gi shrinkage, check out this video.

Not sure if you're choosing the right size? We get it, gi sizing can be tricky. That's why we offer totally free pre-paid returns.

The Man in the Arena

Made for competitors (but a great gi for everyone), the Valiant Gi was designed with input from Gold BJJ's actively competing athletes.

Features include:

  • Ultra comfy rash guard neck liner, highlighting Teddy Roosevelt's inspiring "Man in the Arena" speech.
  • Heavyweight jacket and pants for easy grip breaking.
  • Super clean white-on white or black-on-black aesthetic.

Built for Competition

The Valiant Gi is perfect for competitors looking for a heavier, harder to grip gi.

We designed this gi with an extra thick 550gsm Pearl Weave jacket, and heavy duty 12oz ripstop pants.

Ultimate Durability

While this gi was constructed with competition in mind, it's an excellent every day gi - especially in colder climates and seasons.

The heavier weight weave will stand up to even the toughest training sessions.

Please note that our gis do not include belts.

    Awesome Gi!

    This was the fifth gi I’ve bought from Gold. They are by far the best quality I’ve found.

    Best fitting gi!

    Been through a ton of gi’s, and I usually have to get them altered or buy odd sizing that never really fits. I’ve been wearing the valiant for about the last year and out of the bag it fits perfect. Great quality and exceptional customer service.

    Not IBJJF legal

    I like it. Solid and people complain about gripping it. But it’s not IBJJF legal. The reinforcement in the sleeve, skirt and pants is too much
