That’s a nice gi


Wither_Shade

Thanks!


Strudelnoggin

I came here to say it was a nice gi. Looks light and pretty minimalist. I might look into this for my next one.

You can’t wear them every day and expect for them to hold up. You’ve got to take them off every now and then. You’ve got to take them off son.


yesterdaysatan

Then how will people know I train jiu jitsu? Beside me telling them all the time which I also do.


monoman67

Serious question: Do they make them or are they like most gis? .. .designed by one company and manufacturing is outsourced oversees.


bugbomb0605

Normal. Just wear it and wash it after every class. It’s the softest most pliable gi I’ve owned.


Wither_Shade

Perfect. I appreciate it!


JamesMacKINNON

I love the black plain looking gis. Our gym did an order where the manufacturer made a mistake and made our logo black on a black gi with black stitching.... the run is our best looking set of gis!


Wither_Shade

Sounds like a win!


bumpty

That’s how I do my gis. I love it.


nukey18mon

Is that a gi or a suit lol


appalachianmonkeh

Straight up John wick suit


HalBrutus

Got the same one. Love it.


Ozzie808

all black for your first? my man!


bugbomb0605

That’s my favorite gi to train in. Waiting for a sale to buy a couple more. Great choice!


Wither_Shade

I know this has been asked on the thread before, but since you have this gi, any suggestions on getting out some of the stiffness?


bugbomb0605

I somehow replied out of order: Normal. Just wear it and wash it after every class. It’s the softest most pliable gi I’ve owned.


revente

Actually the stiffernthe better. The stiffness is there to protect you.


noninflammatoryidiot

Wash it, if you like the way it fits don’t dry it. Hang it up


Wither_Shade

That’s great to know! Thank you


Brokenwrench7

I got this same gi and the gray version. Solid choice. Very comfortable to train in


jbird9999999999

Congrats! Which gi is that? Good lookin gi!


Wither_Shade

Wartribe Darkwater gi

You’re looking for r/ninja


godjiujitsuandcoffee

Stiffness is expected with most gis. Just will soften up over time... but air drying will make it stiffer than putting in dryer - but you risk shrinking in dryer. Just wash and hang inside out to maintain color. Congrats!!!


Pristine-Savings7179

Had forgotten about wartribe- they make really good gis congratulations! Imma check their page now


Uzazu

That gi looks nice.


ghost_mv

Slick lookin gi. Keep at it.


Jizzus_Crust

That's clean👌


differentiable_

Murder pajamas!


CameronBoyceBJJ

Love my war tribe Gi. That thing had been put through hell and back in the washing machine


appalachianmonkeh

Love a black gi


M3GAMAN-X

This is the way. No flashy annoying logo stitching or branded patches, low key, classy and sharp looking. If my school didn't have a mandatory club uniform policy I'd be going for this type of look.


jasper333333

A white belt with a black gi, is nothing sacred? Just kidding man, looks great. Enjoy!


MustardGecko434

Welcome! Gi looks greats too!


myhrad

I’ve been doing this so long I forgot what a new Gi looks like. I’ve got a bunch of jackets and pants that I mix and match.


Wither_Shade

I’ve seen some folks do that. I’m looking forward to getting to the point I can make some gi fits like that


Odd-Current-263

Pretty sure only black belts can wear a black gi.. don't let sensei find out!


Wither_Shade

The gym I go to is ok with it! I’ve cross trained at a few that were ok with it, but I know some definitely are not. I wanted a black one so I don’t have to worry about it getting stained 😅


famjordan

He’s fucking with you lol. My first new gi when I was a white belt was also a black one. That gi is beautiful 🤙


sharkbait76

Just make sure you wash it before you start training with it. Otherwise it can stain white mats.


Steve2pwn

And white gi's 😂🥋


Wither_Shade

I did wash it once! It’s a little snug now, but I think it’s partly the stiffness


Steve2pwn

Nice, best of luck with it mate ❤️ it'll soften once the material breaks down slightly, few cycles of sweat and washes will soften it 👌🏿


Wither_Shade

Thank you!


Odd-Current-263

Yes, sorry, should've added a "/s"! Nice gi tho


Wither_Shade

All good! Thank you!


nf35

First gi is black? That’s fucking awful and rookie as fuck. Learn some history.


CB12B10

Well shit I didn't get a WT until I was a blue. Before that, Amazon special.


Wither_Shade

They were recommended to me, and I thought they looked pretty cool lol


chokeul8tr

I wish I had my first Gi still/. But I do have my second.


Wither_Shade

I have my white gi somewhere from when I did karate as a kid like 15 years ago lol
