One of our all time favorite gi designs, black pearl weave with red tulips, has had a great two and a half year run in production and this month we are sending it to a well-earned retirement. The replacement is a lighter weight monochromatic black pearl weave gi.
This is a gi for someone who needs a break from colorful embroidery but still prefers a branded, quality women’s bjj uniform with plenty of size options. It is a simple, clean design with our trademarked F on the sleeves and Fenom in graceful calligraphy on pants. Direct embroidery is barely visible and will show more as the gi fades over time.
We made this gi in sizes A0-A5, including our standard talls and curvies but also in A2 curvy jacket which is becoming one of the most sought after sizes. A2 curvy jacket is a half-size between A2 and A3. It is perfect for a woman who is in A1 or A2 height bracket, wears DD cup or larger bra, needs extra chest coverage and feels that regular A2 is tad bit tight in the armpits or too open in the front. Gi jackets are made of standard 550 gsm pearl weave and pants are light-weight ripstop with flat drawstring. Black round custom cord is included for no extra charge.
Model wears A1T gi.

We are excited about fall; two new pearl weave gi designs are arriving in the first week on November. The gi jackets are made of 550 gr brushed pearl weave fabric and pants are soft, medium-weight cotton drill. White gis feature light pink and salmon color, oversized embroidery on the left sleeve and pants. Black gis are made of the same material and display stunning purple blossoms. Full picture of the gis will be revealed in a couple of weeks and we hope you like them as much as we do!
After a long hiatus we are bringing back black gis with pink embroidery. Pink is very dear to us since it was our very first color in 2009 and has not always been received well. BJJ women either love it or hate it, there is no in-between. This time we used 550 gr pearl weave plus fabric for jackets and 10 oz light-weight ripstop material for pants. Finely detailed embroidery is on our signature spot, right thigh, and the left lower corner of the jacket. These beauties are scheduled to land before the end of October.
If you are not too happy about the approaching colder weather and long, dark, depressing nights, grab one of our t-shirts which remind you of endless summer days; the fun in the sun and all sorts of shenanigans. Happy shopping!

Our navy blue gi has received a makeover and the new color scheme is sharp, red and white. Gi jacket is made of 550 gsm pearl weave and pants are light-weight cotton ripstop with flat drawstring. Red stitching and decorative tape inside the bottom of the jacket add extra pop of color. This is a perfect light-weight gi for everyday training and competition.
Our most popular white Lotus gi has been in production since 2010 and has also received an updated look. Black embroidery has been replaced by softer gray and navy blue color accents. The jacket is made of 550 gsm crystal weave and pants are medium-weight cotton drill with eight loops and flat drawstring. This is the softest gi in our product line and perfect for anyone who loves comfort and simplicity.
If you prefer cord drawstring to the standard flat one, check out the new red cords.

You asked for A1 curvy jackets, and we made them! We are excited to announce that every new batch of women’s gis from next month on will have A1 curvy jackets available.
A1 jacket, and A1 curvy pants combination is one the most popular mix-and-match sizes ever since we started making curvy pants. It is a great option for ladies with narrow shoulders, small chest, wider hips, and thicker thighs.
Lately we have received lots of requests from ladies who are not that small on top, and need a roomier jacket. The bigger bust, and wider shoulders fit into A2 but the sleeves are a tad too long for that particular height.
If your height is between 5’3” and 5’5”, and need a jacket that covers your chest, does not pinch in the armpits, and does not have hugely long sleeves; this is the size for you. Pair it up with A1 Curvy pants for a great fitting gi.
We are giving away one black pearl weave, and one white pearl weave plus gi to two volunteers who are willing to send us some feedback on this new size. We would like to give these gis to the ladies who have purchased a mix-and-match set before (A1/A1C or A2/A1C) so they can compare the fit. Email us or comment below if you are interested.

A drawstring is one of the smallest components of the gi pants but it creates a great divide between customers. A while back we asked ladies which drawstrings they would prefer. As it turns out, one half loves what the other half hates. About half of the customers favor flat drawstrings because they stay tied, and keep the pants from falling. The cord lovers hate flat drawstrings for the same exact reason; the knot is too tight, and cannot be untied fast enough when sweaty. The cord lovers also praise the ease of tying and un-tying of cord drawstrings but the downside is that you can never really get a good tight fit because of the stretchy material, and some explode and unravel during washing.
We started making pants with generic, stretchy rope cords and included a flat drawstring for free. That seemed to make most people happy but at the same time led to quite a bit of waste, and the problem with exploding cords still existed so we had to find a better solution.
After searching near and far we found a factory that makes nylon custom cords, and decided to do away with the generic rope drawstrings for good. All gi pants now come with a standard flat drawstring and custom cords are sold separately for $5.00. A well-known BJJ blogger, instructor and gi reviewer Can Sönmez says that these are the best cords he has used, and he has worn 30+ gis over the past years. Give them a try and let’s see if you agree or not!

A few months ago we tested out gold weave gi samples; liked them a lot, and decided to make a good, heavy-duty, old school training gi for women. We took away all the fancy add-ons, and made a gi for ladies who like a clean, simple, and classic look. There is no nylon tape; there is no rash guard lining, and there is no oversized, fire-breathing dragon embroidery on the back.
This gi top is made of 550 gsm gold weave cotton that gets softer, and softer over time. The trim, and collar are 14 ounce canvas pants material. The pants have 4 loops, a flat drawstring, and are fully reinforced from the upper thigh to the bottom of the pant leg just like our standard pants. A pair of canvas A1s weighs 24 ounces compared to 16 ounces for the same size in ripstop. Try grabbing those without ripping your nails out! These are the heaviest pants on the women’s bjj gi market right now, and will last you for years.
Gold weave, and canvas do require stretching out after every wash when the gi is wet in order to maintain the size. The best way is to grab one sleeve, step on the other one and pull up; think of a kettlebell high-pull. Do the same with the pants; step on the pant legs, and pull up from the waist. It sounds rough but be assured, it works! You may want to go with the tall size if you are at the very top of your size bracket or go size up if you plan on drying the gi in the dryer. If someone bleeds on your brand new gi (which always happens), use a dab of soap and hydrogen peroxide to clean it. It works!
Happy training!
