Hi, I used to train BJJ a while a go and I gave away all my gis.
Right now I am thinking to start training again but I don't have a gi and I am not planing to spending too much yet. I have read a little bit about Fuji and HCK single. Is there any other option? I used to like gameness but they raise he price now.

Thanks.

You wont get a good GI under 100!
 
I can vouch for a Padilla & Sons. Going to buy a Fuji with my next purchase, just to see what it's like, but I could roll in Padilla gis forever.

I don't agree. The only thing the Fuji lacks is a stiffer collar. The cut on the top is excellent and the pants fit great (not too tapered). I've abused a Fuji for over 2 years and it shows no signs of wear--amazing considering it's a single weave. And if it helps you, Royler rocks one.
 
Black Friday 2010 will hopefully solve your gi problems, TS.

Well, I just need a decent gi to roll with and I hope it will last al least 6 months.

Between Fuji, HCK, Padilla & Sons (single waves), which one has a better material in term of the gi material, collar, pants and durrability?

Only talk about the gear I own, my opinions. I bash shit I don't like. What is your opinion here?

It would probably help if you wrote something (anything) substantive in your posts. E.g. what specifically you don't like about a product instead of just "average at best."

I don't know if anyone is better than the others, they're just different.

The HCK is the baggiest all-around of the bunch (which some ppl don't necessarily consider bad), Fuji in the middle, and P&S most tapered.

The HCK collar is the thickest, followed by P&S, then Fuji.

I'm not sure which top is lighter between Fuji or P&S, but HCK is probably thicker than them both.

Durability is a toss-up.

HTH.

I own a couple of Padilla and Sons gold weaves. They were slightly over $100 but I would recommend them.

Lol my thoughts exactly.
It's FUJI not fiji

Oh and TS, another option I have not seen mentioned would be piranha gear, good quality for such a low price, their gis are under $50
The next gi I plan on picking up is an Isami lightweight, I've seen good reviews on it, and its only $90

Thanks for all reply!!!
Now I am deciding between Fuji and Killer Bee.
I fund Killer Bee is quite interesting, it has all the spec of the upper class gi with a fairly affordable price.

Thanks again!

I highly suggest you check out killer bee's facebook page if you're thinking of going that way - they've got a nice discount code posted there!
 
I've been training no gi for about a year now and will soon start training gi, so I'm looking for a gi myself. In my searching, I've found that in the price range I'm looking (also under $100) that I will probably end up with a single-weave as opposed to a gold-weave or double-weave. The gi I'm leaning towards right now is the Fuji single-weave that retails for around $70. I've heard good things about P&S as well. Don't know anyone personally with an HCK. Most of the guys at my gym rock Atama. If I wanted to spend more money, I'd probably go with an Atama gold-weave... maybe once I get my blue belt.

What kind of gis did you give away? Also, not to pry, but why did you stop training?
 
My only gi is a Fuji Victory. I've been rolling in it 2-3 times a week for 9 months. Still no sign of any wear at all!

It does however look dirty all the time as it's gotten pretty gray over time. Don't know if that's just a problem with my wash or...

Buy a size up if you go for the Fuji, it will shrink... a lot! :)
 
A friend of mine uses custom embroidered Fuji gi's for his School.
They train hard and they train a lot. Holds up great.
