Description
The Isami Classic BJJ Gi: Japanese Craftsmanship, Reengineered
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor of Isami — your direct source for authentic Japanese BJJ gis. The Isami Classic BJJ Gi is the benchmark for serious grapplers who refuse to compromise. Built in Japan with a refined single weave polyblend (65% polyester / 35% cotton), it delivers a lighter, faster-drying, and more durable training gi — without losing the structure advanced practitioners demand. Order yours today and train in gear that means business.
Exclusive Drop: The Cotton Double Weave Returns (ChokeSports Only)
This is the one many of you have been asking about — and it's back, briefly.
ChokeSports negotiated directly with Isami to secure a rare batch of the 100% cotton double weave jacket — a version no longer available anywhere else, including Japan. This is a strictly limited, ChokeSports-exclusive release.
Jacket: 100% cotton double weave — heavier, structured, unmistakably traditional
Available in White and Blue only — Black cotton fabric is no longer in production
Stock is extremely tight: approximately 1–2 sets per size, A0–A4. ChokeSports will continue producing White and Blue in small batches — but only while the original cotton fabric stock holds out. Once the fabric is gone, this version is gone for good. If the cotton double weave is on your list, don't wait for the next batch to materialize.
The Single Weave Standard: Built for Daily Training and Competition
The flagship single weave polyblend remains the go-to for everyday training and tournament day alike.
Lightweight and breathable — quick-drying fabric handles back-to-back sessions
IBJJF-legal cut — traditional Japanese tailoring refined for competition dimensions
Made in Japan — assembled by expert seamstresses with the precision the brand is known for
Size A0 through A4. Not pre-shrunk — size chart reflects post-wash measurements so your fit is never a guess. As Isami specialists and official international distributors, ChokeSports.com guarantees you're getting the real thing — not a gray-market copy, not a knockoff. Whether you go single weave or chase down the last cotton double weave sets, you're buying a gi with nearly two decades of proven quality behind it. That's the Isami guarantee, and it's why serious practitioners keep coming back.
Sizing the Isami Classic BJJ Gi
The Isami Classic BJJ Gi comes in standard Brazilian sizes A0–A4. Follow our detailed size chart to find your perfect fit. This gi is not pre-shrunk, but the size chart shows post-wash measurements so you know exactly what to expect. Originally designed with a broader cut, our collaboration with Isami refined it to an IBJJF-approved competition fit that minimizes excess fabric while maximizing mobility and performance.
🧼 Washing & Shrinkage
Expect Some Shrinkage: Your gi isn't pre-shrunk. It may look a bit large at first, but will adjust to the perfect size after 2-3 washes.
Washing Instructions: Wash at a maximum of 40°C. Avoid bleach to protect the fabric's integrity. Dry cleaning is safe.
👕 Drying
Hang Dry Method: Use separate hangers for the top and pants. Dry in the shade to maintain its shape.
Tumble Dry Caution: If using a tumble dryer, stop at 80% dryness to prevent excessive shrinkage. Then, hang it to finish drying.
🩸 Stain Management & Rotation
Quick Action for Stains: Wash immediately after practice if stained, especially with blood, to avoid permanent marks.
Rotation Strategy: Like many of our customers who train frequently, consider rotating multiple gis. This ensures a fresh gi for each session and extends the life of each one.
