Jiu-Jitsu clothing

For jiu-jitsu

— this clothing style is tailored for grappling, holds, and ground work. For Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a gi, a thick yet relatively lightweight weave is used, resistant to constant tugs on the sleeves and lapel, and the cut is designed so that the opponent finds it harder to get a good grip. In the no-gi format, the focus is on snug-fitting rash guards and shorts with flat seams that don’t chafe or tear when sliding on the mat. Compared to MMA clothing, Jiu-Jitsu gear is more oriented towards durability in grips and "sticky" grappling, rather than stand-up work and striking techniques.
