Martial Arts Uniform Manufacturer Guide

Martial arts uniforms represent a specialized niche within apparel manufacturing, requiring specific fabrics, construction techniques, and weight Standards that differ significantly from regular sportswear. This guide covers the key categories and specifications.

BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) Gi

The BJJ gi is one of the most technically demanding martial arts uniforms to manufacture. IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) competition gis must meet specific requirements.

**Jacket Fabrics:**

  • Single weave: 550-650 GSM. Lighter, cooler, faster drying. More affordable.
  • Double weave: 900-1100 GSM. Heavier, more durable, harder to grab in competition.
  • Pearl weave: 450-550 GSM. Most popular balance of weight and durability. Pearl texture on exterior.
  • Gold weave: 550-700 GSM. Similar to pearl but slightly heavier.
  • **Pants Fabrics:**

  • Ripstop: 100% cotton canvas with reinforcement grid. Light and durable.
  • Canvas: Traditional 100% cotton. Heavier and very durable.
  • Twill: Smooth cotton. Lighter, more comfortable.
  • **Construction Requirements:**

  • Reinforced stitching at all stress points
  • Lapel reinforcement (inner foam or thick cotton)
  • Sleeve cuff reinforcement
  • Belt loops reinforced
  • IBJJF-legal color: white, blue, or black
  • Karate Gi

    Lighter and less technical than BJJ gi:

    Weight: 8-12 oz for competition (light), 12-16 oz for training (heavier, more durable)

    Fabric: 100% cotton or cotton-polyester blend

    **Styles:**

  • European-cut: More fitted, tapered
  • Japanese-cut: Wider, more traditional
  • Student cut: Standard, relaxed fit
  • Customization: Embroidery on breast pocket area is Standard. Belt rank stripes on collar optional.

    Taekwondo Dobok

    The taekwondo uniform is lighter and more athletic than traditional gi:

    Fabric: Lightweight cotton-polyester blend, 160-200 GSM. Some competition doboks use lightweight microfiber.

    **Features:**

  • V-neck pullover jacket (most common modern style)
  • Drawstring pants
  • Olympic-style: white with black collar facing for black belts
  • Color options: white, black, blue
  • Judo Gi

    The heaviest and most durable martial arts uniform:

    Weight: 700-1000 GSM. Must withstand intense grip training.

    Fabric: Heavy-weight cotton drill or cotton canvas

    IJF Requirements: Competition gis must be IJF-approved. Specific size, label placement, and reinforcement requirements.

    Kung Fu Uniform

    Distinct from Japanese-style gi:

    Fabric: Satin (competitive/ceremonial) or cotton canvas (training)

    Colors: White, black, red, or custom

    Features: Frog button closures, mandarin collar, loose fitting

    Customization Options

    Embroidery: School name, club logo, student name. Most common customization.

    Screen Printing: On cotton or canvas panels. Used for logos and school branding.

    Custom Belt Colors: All martial arts belts in custom colors with ordered stripes.

    Patch Embroidery: School crest, national flag, rank patches.
