Thanks man. I just literally managed to window shop virtually thanks to your video :D
Suprisingly only 118 subscribers, should have around 100k
😍😍😍 one day...
Michael Phan lemme help you with that
@@t-wrecks6060 thanks t-wrecks!
This was so good! I'm going to check out your wife's gi - thanks for providing a suggestion for us ladies! Also... how do you only have 347 subs??? I thought for sure you had at least 10k subs. Keep making videos! You got a new subscriber.
Thank you!
Your wife trains jiu jitsu? That's a keeper
also, if you're in the tri-state area, 93brand/Rollmore/BJJHQ/MMAHQ (They're the same entity) all have amazing flea markets randomly where full gi sets go for 35 dollars. Definitely a great way to pad a collection - last time i went I got a white standard issue 93 brand gi and a hyperfly starlyte gi for 35 bucks each
sweet! didn't know they had a flea market for gis
dope vid second vid i have seen so far that is aa legit revieww not many good gi reviews out there
Its interesting that your black/mint and white/olive hyperlyte fit differently. I have the white/olive and blue hyperlyte pants in A2 and they are both tapered, not bootcut like your black/mint ones. Maybe they changed the cut. The white/olive and also blue that I have are from the previous run, from 2016-2017. In early 2018 they updated the colors, which is your black/mint. Maybe the cut is also updated, even though the website doesn't say so.
The white/olive is a reg hyperfly. The black/mint is hyperlyte. I’m assuming this is the reason for different fit. Which sucks since the biggest difference between the two is weight. Thanks for the comment!
@@MichaelPhanBJJ oh that's interesting. I have the white/olive hyperlyte and it's tapered in the pants. I didn't know they made a regular hyperfly in white/olive.
The most frustrating thing about martial arts gear is in the sizing especially if you're a big strong guy because they're all made for slender Asian frames. I'm 6ft tall 300lb with a 50" waist and only a couple products fit me but none of them wrap properly except ones I had to tailor down in height. All they do is up size the entire product... they don't make it for bigger stronger people so if I get a gi that fits me I have to tailor it down from the seven-foot-tall cut they deliver to your door because the ridiculous manufacturers just assume the same frame at the same standard dimensions rather than keeping it of average height/length and just making it bigger to accommodate a larger more powerful individual. When I was 350lbs I only had two gis that would fit and they were hard to find and exorbitantly expensive for what they were...Fuji 10 and MACS 12 (these were the largest commercial Gis available but of course they were cut for people who were 10 ft tall so they are comically long!
No mention of ZENKO fightwear? Their Gi’s are lined with like a rashguard material… but can’t find reviews online.
*Very interesting tutorial!* 🙌
😎👍🏻
I'm a little worried because the gi I got (*from the place I'm about to start at it) doesn't fit but I'm only 5'1 and the instructor said that it was ok because I will lose weight" and that "its too long on me with the bigger size so I need to have the smaller one" but this one doesn't really fit at all, I don't feel confident and its very tight.
I would get a gi that you like the fit of and then reassess later if you’ll need to get one of a smaller size.
I have exactly that one from the start of the video 😂😂. The blue bad one.
Hypnotik had a promotion of buy one get one free for their gis during Black Friday. It looks cool and all but it shrunk so bad unlike my Fuji.
That’s a dope deal! Sucks that it shrunk. Thanks for the comment!
What's the GSM of these, I'm trying to figure out what I need.
I've got 5 gis at the moment.
Atama Mundial 9 in A2. Love the gi. Cant go wrong with Atama. My only issue is the top shrunk a bit to much. Probably can still sneak in ibjjf standard.
Hayabusa Gorudo 1 and 2. Awesome gis but heavy as fuck. I like heavy and thick gis. They fit perfect both in A2.
Hayabusa Marvel edition( the punisher). Awesome fit but had to get in A1 as the A2 was a bit too baggy. The bad is the pants. They say it is rip stop but is totally different of the atama mundial which is rip stop too.
Last but not least, another Brazilian brand called OSS. Nice and light gi. Pants shrunk a bit a fits awesome the jacket is too long on sleeves.
Just want to leave my 2 cents here in case people want to check other brands,
cheers
Thanks for the insight man!

"No uhh, no offense to all you basic b¡tches out there, though."
Lololololololz!
😂😂😂
😂
is there a sizing chart?
Yo, Im 6" about 187lbs, i will buy my first bjj gi, which size should i buy please ?
What size is your gi?
I thought for tournaments BJJ gi's could not have brand names anywhere other then on lapel bottom part of the gi top. I thought the only thing allowed on top is logo of your school.
I've only owned 4 Gi's so far and my favorite is my Origin comp fits great and is holding up great but little pricey
Yeah origin gis do get pricey. But they are made in USA and from my experience, feel great in terms of quality
Since the 93brand gi is baggy what would you recommend for sizing? I’m 5’10 and 185 and I’m stuck between getting A2 or A3.
I'd say get the A2
A2 for sure
Shoyoroll part had me cracking up 🤣
I really dont like buying gi’s without trying them out first. In iceland there is a really limited selection available in stores. 😑
Yeah, it’s tough. Best thing to do is find someone in the gym that has the gi you want and try theirs on.
On the sanabul gi which size would you recommend a2 or a3? I’m 5’11” 200lbs
I would go A2 per their size chart. Thanks for the question!
Im new in bjj and yea i didnt want to get what everybone has also
Tbh now after watching this im fine with the one ive got you dont need the best one
Nice vid
A gi is a gi! Hope you’re training is going well. Thanks for the comment Rocky!
Hey, its me again ;). Recently I've saw the " Fuji Sekai 2.0 " BJJ Gi. Do you know that brand ? If yes, could you give me an advise ? Nevertheless, I still have a question for you : I'am 20 years old , weight : 87 kg and height : 177 cm . The Gi has the sizes A3 and A2 L . A2 L's specs are height : 181 cm - 183 cm and weight : 64 - 77 kg. A3 's are height : 180 cm - 186 cm and weight 77 - 91 kg. Well ... To be honest I don't have an idea how shrinking etc. will effect the Gi ... Can you help me ?
I am not familiar with that specific gi from Fuji. According to the small amount of research I did, I think you’d be good with a A2H with your measurements. According to their site the GI can shrink a little even though it’s preshrunk. As long as it hasn’t been used, you can exchange it for a different size if the A2H isn’t a good fit. Good luck!
@@MichaelPhanBJJ ok thank you ;)

Love Kingz!
You’re hilarious and humble.
Wish we knew your height and weight and what sizes you bought your gis. Otherwise good video bro 👍
Thanks Jose! I am 5’9 and 170 lbs. All gis were A2
What do you think of the Flow Hemp Gi or Lucky Brand Bamboo Gi?
I haven’t seen them in person to speak much about them. From pictures online and descriptions, they’re supposed to be super soft and well made. Pictures alone, I’m not really feeling them but to each their own
Hey I'm unsure which gi to get. I'm new to bjj, and I'm roughly 5"9 and 140lbs. I was thinking A2 but that might be too baggy
It depends on what brand you’re looking at and how you like the gi to fit. A2 would probably be a little baggy for you with most brands. Look for brands that offer L sizes for example A1L. If something like that is a good fit but a little long you can go down to A1.
As far as specific brands go, depends on your budget. 93 brand is a solid gi that’s on the lower end price wise. Hyperfly makes great gis that are a little more expensive but the fit is on point.
Hope this helps!
I know i'm 3 months late lol - but Kingz offers A1L size that fits me pretty well (5'8 160)
My first gi was 68.99$ but now I'm joining a gracie bjj gym there gi's are 165$ 😅
I have the elite ultra light gi, is there anyone who has had the elite gi and sanabul gi and can tell the difference between the two
The biggest difference between the two for me was how much softer the Sanabul was. The elite gi comes out the bag tough like it’s gonna rip skin when putting on a cross face. The elite pants are ripstop while sanabuls isn’t. Also, I feel sanabul was a more a tapered fit.
Im gonna try the sanabul gi next, your input is greatly appreciated @@MichaelPhanBJJ
Hi! I want to start learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I know it is made specifically for grappling, but I want to use the same kimono for high kick or knee kick (Karate..) is this still possible to do so with BJJ Gi?
Hey Levon! I think the karate gi might be a little too thin for bjj. People will be tugging on the material a lot.
@@MichaelPhanBJJ Yes right,but what I mean that if I buy BJJ Gi would be possible to use high kick? Have you tried to lift your leg up? Or coz it is too thick (Fabric BJJ Gi) it can't be done? is it limiting in movement? Coz I want to use BJJ Gi for both Jiu Jitsu and Karate.
Ohhhh I see what you mean now lol sorry. I think the gi pants are a little restrictive when it comes to high kicks. They’re usually a little baggier. Knees might be ok
@@MichaelPhanBJJ Ok..now clear 🙂 Thanks!😉👍
I'm 5,0 I weigh 118 is A0 good I think I want to get one that's 50$ on amazon? Like the one that your wife wears
Yeah I think A0 will work for you
hey you should review suprerare fight shop BJJ gi
hey jonathan! which one? bold or jj vs everybody?
@5:34 had me rolling. I subscribed off that alone. Cool Gi review bro.
😂 ayyyeee thanks man! Appreciate it!
Bro I'm 5ft4
175 lbs
Which size GI should I buy?
A1 or A2?
Have you tried on an A2 or A1? If you can, ask a training partner to try on theirs if they have the right size. I’m leaning towards A2 but I don’t want to steer you wrong
takedown breakdown sent me. subbed
Welcome! Thanks for the sub!
Ud be surprised u can get some pretty decent quality no name or off brand gis i guess for lack of a better term online for pretty cheap
I’m sure there are nice cheaper gis out there. I just haven’t done my research as to which is best fitting. Only one I’ve come across was Sanabul. Thanks for the comment!
Michael Phan yea that Sanabul gi u showed the white with blue trim is pretty sweet actually. Would be a nice gi to get when someone is promoted to blue belt
Yeah most definitely. Can’t beat that price as well!
Get your pants tailored at the dry cleaners. I always get the the perfect fit. It's hard to have a perfect jacket and pants combo.
Thanks for the suggestion! I never would’ve thought of this. How do you pants end up turning out after tailors?
@@MichaelPhanBJJ They turned out great! I'm tall and lanky and my jacket sleeves usually touch my wrist bones. However, my pants always seem to be too long. I trip over them when standing unless I pull them up to my belly button. My professor suggested I get them tailored, as it would be a liability for competition. So I have ever since, the best $8 you'll ever spend.
Definitely gonna try this out! Thank you!
This video was pretty cool.
If you think Shoyaroll kimonos are expensive.....
Just go check out the Origin Rift Kimonos. 😲😲😲😲😲😲
Now I will say I have NEVER felt a kimono like it. The fit and fabric felt like a tailored suit perfectly made for BJJ.
I looked into Origin after I rolled with someone who had one. The gi was ridiculously soft but also seemed super durable. The price was insane lol. I mean, I guess I can see it being priced so high because it’s made in the USA.
@@MichaelPhanBJJ
I mean I still can't understand why it's 325 for a Gi.
Made in America or not...that's shit is crazy expensive I got like 3 Fuji gi and a bag for the same price as 1 Rift Gi. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol yeah, it’s still a stupid amount for one gi.
How long you been training and what belt are you? Looks like blue and you said 8 years ago in a gi I'm assuming you took a break
In terms of training years - maybe 3-4. I’m a purple belt. I took a 4 year break after my first year of training.
@@MichaelPhanBJJ ok that makes sense i was like Damn his instructor hates him if he's trained that long
I think he did hate me lol jk he just never noticed when I did something right
If you can afford one try Origin brand expensive but high quality
What size belt do you wear?
A2
I’m having a bit of trouble. I’m starting jujitsu and I need to buy a gi my coach said it’s fine with whatever gi because anyone in the gym can use whatever gi they want. I’m ok with buying any kind just don’t know what size I am would you please help me.
I’m 15
214 pounds
And I’m 5’6
Pant size(if that helps) 28x29
What is your budget?
Michael Phan can’t spend more then 150 dollars
I would say check out the size chart of the brand you like. With that budget, you have a lot of options for a good gi. If your measurements are on the high end of a particular size, I say get the next size up to give room for shrinkage after you wash. If you’re in the middle or lower end of the size, get that size vs going down a size. Does that make sense? So, if you fall in the lower end of a size, for instance, A2 - get the A2 vs going down to an A1.
Also, what I would do is email the brand of the gi you want and let them know your measurements. They’ll be able to suggest a size much better than I can.
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!
Michael Phan Michael Phan Thanks, this help a lot so I went to the website and they had a size chart and I was able to get the one that had my size thanks a lot. by the way what color should I get for the gi i’m thinking on getting a blue one
Awesome man! Color is a personal choice. You can’t go wrong with blue, white or black. All safe!
What do you think about NHTS ?
Did you mean VHTS? I dig ‘em. A buddy of mine has one and it looks like it fits well! I’ll have to borrow it for a review 🤔🤔🤔
the one at 5:33 how is that a perfect fit? surely those sleeves are too short to be ibjjf approved??
It actually was shrunk accidentally before that tournament in the picture. When I initially got it it did fit perfectly, legal sleeve length and all
@@MichaelPhanBJJ ah i see. Did you put it in the dryer, or did it shrink just from washing? I have a gi that has borderline too short sleeves currently and I'm terrified of it shrinking. Do you have any tips to prevent shrinking, or even enlarging a gi? Thanks
Dryer. I can only recommend washing cold and hang dry to prevent shrinking.
@@MichaelPhanBJJ when you hang dry it, does it make a difference if you leave it out in the sun? Is it less likely to shrink if you don't leave it in direct sunlight, since it'll have less exposure to heat?
I think the sun would help dry the gi faster. Not sure about shrinking
Damn this was hilarious 😂
haha thanks for watching!
What do you think about Kingz or hybusha ?
I like Kingz. I’m actually going to do a video reviewing one of their gis. Not really a fan of hayabusa. It’s a little loud for me.
Michael Phan the only thing about Kingz is there so many , which one would you recommend ? I was looking the Kingz nano
I like the nano but I like the One gi better
Why doesn't IBJJF allow multi color gi?
I think it has something to do with tradition. I’m not sure 😅
@@MichaelPhanBJJ oh
Brazilians are really strict about gi color
6’0
255LBs
A3 or A3L or A4?
What brands are you looking at? If your height and weight are at the higher end of A3 I’d go A4 and shrink gi down to your liking. If it’s at the lower end, I’d go A3. Even if you feel your arms are lanky, go A3. Hope this helps!
Michael Phan doesn’t matter the brand for me, just comfort and mobility
260lbs
5′ 10
What size would be perfect (Kingz Basic 2.0 Gi)
I would go A3H according to their size chart
Yes.
Yeesh.
I be buying up all those $40 ebay gis... gotta love that broke life.
i feel ya 100% grant!
How about venum gi ??
i've never personally owned a venum gi but i've seen others who have them. they seem ok. do you have one?
@@MichaelPhanBJJ no i don’t have any , thanks man !!
Subscribed!
🤘🏻😎
Holy cuts, batman!
✂️✂️✂️
Can I wear a BJJ Gi for normal JJ ? Is it the same ?
PS : I had the same hairstyle like you but now I only cut the sides like K Pop style and believe me.... It solves the problem of that f*king side growths...
I’m not familiar with JJ so I can’t say. I believe they’re pretty much the same. As far as gi goes, I don’t see a problem wearing the same gi. Your instructor will tell you if you need a different gi.
Haha I’ll keep that in mind the next time I see my barber. Thanks!
Kingz
8 year blue belt!?
Had the koral gi for 8 years. I was a white belt for a year, took a 4 year break, came back and got my blue belt after about 6 months. 🤘🏻
Nice video
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
100k I think you meant to put 1M but It auto corrected
thanks gray!
Hi I am 5.7 what size do you recommend?
What’s your weight? I would go by the size chart of the brand you want.
Michael Phan I am 11 and half stone. I currently have a size A3 I am unhappy with the fit so I am in the market for a new gi but don’t want to make the same mistake and get the wrong size I was thinking size A1.5 thanks for the reply
Yeah I wouldn’t go above A2. A1L if you’re lanky. Before buying, I would email the brand and give them your measurement. They’ll know which size would be best. Hope you find a good gi!
Michael Phan thanks buddy 👍
Shoyoroll gis are really nice but their marketing practices and conceitedness of the brand itself makes me avoid them altogether.
i don't blame you
Ronin brand and Moya.
I do like some of the Moya gi's. Do you have any?
08:08 XD
😂
👍
5'11, 160 lb, A1 or A2?
Depends on the brand but I’d most likely go with A2
Or A1L if they have it
Any one else come here AFTER purchasing your Gi?
I’m always here
Venum gis all day
Never had venum gi but they’re still around so they’re doing something right
I have a scramble and a venum gi. They have a brand call Loyal. They are good and only cost $50.
Orien Gi is best
Origin.... Going to just leave this right here lol
I need to get my hands on an Origin gi to check it out. Do you have one? How do you like it?
@@MichaelPhanBJJ yeah I have several. They are the best quality one I have. They have different weaves and everything is made in the USA and they make everything from scratch themselves in Maine
Nice! I didn’t know they were made in Maine! Thanks for the comment!
Shoyoroll is for the HYPEBEASTS that get submitted!
We all get submitted. It just costs a little more to get submitted in a Shoyoroll gi
Funny sheeet.
lolz
Definitely this is NOT a guide to buy a new bjj gi....
Very true
that terrible fitting gi is probably a judo gi lol
Lol god I hope so
@@MichaelPhanBJJ haha yeah man I entered a tournament not to long ago and they told me my gi was to small and I had to get a larger gi that almost looked like that lol
I would’ve bowed out of that tournament before putting a gi like that lol
Cringe
