Very good review bud, this is exactly what people need before purchasing a judo gi, I've just started judo after looking to get involved for a while now, il be starting off with probably a fuji and eventually getting a Mizuno after a while

when looking for a five days a week training judogi rather than for competition, what would you recommend?

Hi.. Have you tried the Mizuno Shiai Gi? I'm 173 cm tall and weigh 85 kilos.. but I compete in the -81kl category. I ordered the size 3.5 basing on my Sensei's Mizuno Gi.. Can't find enough reviews about the sizing of the Mizuno Shiai. Great Videos by the way.. been watching your vids since 2011.

Nice reviews, I would love to hear your opinion on the Kusakura gi

Thank you for this great & informative video. I'm leaning towards a Mizuno gi at present. I wonder if you could share some info on shrinkage on the Mizuno Gi (when washed/dryed) & how to get your kit to fit best. Great channel & look forward to watching more of your videos.

+MONKEY SWAG Thank you. The two gis are very different. The Mizuno definitely feels lighter. In the summers, the Adidas can really overheat you. If you wash them cold water and hang dry them for several months first, you should be just fine with avoiding significant shrinkage.

+Red Dragon Diaries Thanks! Good tip. I'll be sure to do that. Next...is to try and find a good stockist of the Mizuno supreme. You know any good stores?

It is Korean writing on my gis. I teach English in Korea at the moment so I have access to these things. When you order a new gi here, they by default have the school name and your name put on the gi. It's consistent across Korea in this way.

What about fighting films?

thank u 4 showing a full body view; the throws were a descriptive bonus. is that korean writing? and does the mizuno company do the embroidery?

I love the "M" on the gi. Ichiban is fantastic.

You're welcome. Thanks for commenting. I love your avatar - I had Shepherds growing up in NH.

Thank you. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to own or even wear one. But I would love to get one someday just to have it! Like most gis I have and don't need...

Nice review. How do you think the adidas gi compares to the Ronin brand Samurai gi? Have you by any chance tried out the latter? It looks super cool but costs three times the price of the adidas. Thanks in advance.

Did you have any issues with sizing? I've been reading reviews, I'm thinking of getting Yusho Gold, and have heard the sizing charts are way off...I'm 178cm and 105kg.

Thanks! I hope it's helpful to athletes out there looking for a good gi. Trial and error is not the way to go.

The way I understand it is they order from a distributor or Adidas direct, then it is sent to an embroidery store where your name and the school name patches are put on. Many stores do the patches since all korean yudo players and schools follow the same format with uniforms.

Depending on your body type, you're likely a size 5. How tall are you?

Thank you so much, I am going with the adidas, thanks for the review, its nice to ACTUALLY find a video about Judogis

I’m 5’6 and 140-145lbs. What size mizuno GI should I get? Thank you! 🙏

Wow - you may need a 6. I think that would be the right one especially as it naturally shrinks it will fit nicely.

Thanks for the vid. I trained in Korea too from 2009-2012 in Gyeong-nam. I can attest to what you say about the Adidas being like a furnace. In Korea our dojang had 2 gis for sale: Moosoolsa and Adidas. I actually liked the Moosoolsa better.

Thanks Seoul Tee, very useful information

Do you have your gis tailored at all? I have the hardest time finding one that fits well. I am taller and leaner. I buy a size 6 and it feels like it was made for someone my height who weighs 200lbs. I bought a Mizuno eurosport years ago and I had to have my mom take it in because it was like wearing a tent.

What size did u wear for ur adidas judogi? I am thinking about getting one for my friend . And wonder if u would share ur opinion on that, he wears the dojo rental one, I don’t know what brand, but I know it is size 4 but he is at least 180-183 cm tall, wears M shirt in A&F , pants size ... I think .... 32? Maybe hahhaha

Thanks dude. Smallest size for J930 is 150cm Do you think that J650 is enough stiff for kid who runs lots of competitions?

SeoulTee, Is there any way that I can purchase one of those adidas gi with the Korean embroidered characters on them? I live here in the states by the way

I wonder if my friend is 180cm-183cm, I wonder if J350( old version ) adidas , single weave , he is probably too sweaty even tho we are practicing in air conditioning place , or maybe it is not air conditioning ,but it is cold in Seattle. I’m hesitant to get him 180 cm or 190 cm Some people said is going to shrink, so we should get 5-10cm bigger. I found one adidas, 180cm J350 , single weave for just $40 bucks, but there is a blue one 190cm is $70 bucks, I know it is affordable price, so I am super struggling. Should I go for a bigger one , or ...hmmmmm.... what is ur take on that . I like ur video, I will check out more of ur videos. Thankssss hope I can get ur reply soon, I’m afraid the cheap one will get sold out

Congrats. You can't go wrong with any Mizuno. I also think a fantastic bang for the buck, if not the best is the Fuji Double Weave.

What about kuSakura? It’s popular between old school fighters.

hey, can you make a video about washing the gi!? due to the fact that most people try to buy a new gi that fits nicely without knowing about the shrinkage:]

Hello there! Is that adidas judogi (J930) too heavy for junior judoka (10 years old and 60lbs)?

I don't have them tailored - that would likely weaken the gi. Gis usually fit very baggy on me too for a while until they shrink a bit to fit my body. It's just what we tall drinks of water have to deal with!

A internet page to buy adiddas judogui please?

I really like the fit of Fushida Icon. It's a leaner cut which I look for in a judogi. Does Mizuno or Adidas make a comparable fitted judogi?

Mizuno Does make slim and Large fitting gi's, but they're not easy to come by. Brands like Kusakura are easier to get tailor made sized or special sized Judo gi's

Thanks for the great review!

The Mizuno is defintely a lighter gi. I use it in the summer. Still hot since it's double weave, but the Adidas is an oven! The extra material down the back is about the same length wise, but the Adidas is super thick and more firm. Very difficult to grip overhand.

i'm 5'2 102 lbs wat size gi would be best for me seoultee

I am 6'4 and 220-230 lbs what size judo gi should i get?

i'm 5'2..102 lbs wat size gi should I get

Hello I am looking to get into judo and I'm in the process of choosing a gi but I realize that the sizing is different lol I just want to know what size would be best for me I am about 5'10 or 5'11 at 130lbs but I am trying to bulk up to 160 thank you for your time

Try looking at the manufacturer's web site. I just bought a kuSakura judogi that way.

Hmmm.maybe 5 is too big then. I would suggest just going to a site like Hatashita Sports and check out the sizing charts. You're more stocky than me. I'm a long gangly build so I need 5 or 5.5. The sizing charts will tell you what you need.

Great review!

Well, Who are they ordering from?

why mizuno does not have IJF approved label..also there is no label where stated supreme,so sellers can send you any mizuno gi ,as no label attached ,just serial number

I have never tried Mizuno, but on some forums they wrote at I should buy a smaller size than people generally uses for their bodyweight. For example my DAX gi is 5 (I am 186cm and 90kg) it shrinked a bit, but not too much, my other gi is a noname one it was 5.5 but it shrinked like hell despite I have washed it always at 30 Celsius... Someone has told that from a Mizuno a 4.5 would be enought for me because their sizes are a bit bigger than other companies. Is it true?

@Reddragondiaries

The Mizunos I ever had fit loosely comfortable - if that makes sense. It feels thinner and lighter than the Adidas and so it can have a baggy feel to it. The thing is, if you buy a size that is too small to avoid the bagginess, then the sleeves may be too short. Tbh, I prefer Adidas overall. Plus they have the cool stripes!

Red Dragon Diaries thank you for the quick answer. To be honest, before I started practise judo I was a track and field athlete and I used Mizuno gears during that time. So I have super good experience with the Mizuno quality, that's why I wanted to choose a gi for judofrom the same brand as well. The only problem in my home country (Hungary) there are only webshops offer Mizuno judo gis, and there is no chance to try one how to fits and to buy a 200-300 USD cost product without to try it can be a bit risky. :/

Enjoyed this video!

It's predominantly Adidas here in Korea. Sometimes I see Pro specs, but other than Adidas, there are some Korean made gis.

I like the blue too!

They're all really nice. I do think however that the single best gi for the money is the Fuji double weave. For 80-90 it is the best gi out there

The Fuji double weave that I have is having very bad stiching quality, the string is coming off for the 3rd time already. Not sure it's just me

You can't go wrong with those 2 gis

Have you tried an KuSakura gi before?

@Reddragondiaries

7 жыл бұрын

yes, very nice gi

It would be pretty bulky and stiff I think if they even make one that size. I don't think a young kid needs it. Double weave is really for heavier adults or big time players so the material lasts and doesn't rip

Blue is definitely such a great color, but the white is so classic. It actually is a tough dilemma.

Thanks from a new Judo guy with many questions about a new Judo Gi. Sorry my english, I´m from Brazil, but I still have a english lessons and a Judo lessons. TKS.

Few comments about Mizuno Supreme not being IJF approved, now replaced by the Yusho that is. Manufacturers have to pay the IJF a small fortune for approval.

Damn bro that neck tie he gave to the other guy was beautiful!lol have you met the zombie or the wolverine?

It's a lot and I don't know if it's justified. I believe the best gi out there for the money is the Fuji double weave judogi.

i always wanted me a mizuno gi but i stick with howard combat kimono's and gameness air gi's. i just can't pay 300 dollars cash for jiu jitsu or a judo.

Thanks, bud.

I think a small one, maybe 1.5-2.0

i have both, but I prefer the Mizuno because it's lighter and more comfortable to use in competition. The adidas restricts my movement (is heavier) and I haven't a good feeling...but this is my opinion

I hear you on that. The Mizuno is definitely more flexible and lighter feeling. But in the winter I like the thicker Adidas because it keeps me warm.

I like Kwon for Judo partially because they are located in my hometown. Their Dan Rho gis are pretty awesome. However I don't recommend their Jiu Jitsu Gis.

Yeah it is mostly BJJ and it is _really_ sweet... but expensive (if not thrice then twice as much). I tried on the Adidas today and I must admit it looked and felt great.

I have one and they are the best fitting gi I've owned! :O)

thanks for this video very usufull

These are great

My mom was able to take in the back on a double weave with drape thread and a special sewing machine she has. I remember seeing a Jimmy Pedro video where he said he goes to a special tailor and has all of his gis tailored. There have to be some special tailors in Korea for judoka. I don't think the Mizuno was worth what I paid for it, and I hear good things about ADIDAS. The best pants I have are Kwon they have an elastic waste and a better draw string. Yes, I was once de-pantsed in competition.

Went out and got a Mizuno Shiai. Very soft which I like. Makes me like the Adidas even less. I'd rank as such: 1) Mizuno 2) Moosoolsa 3) Adidas Best bang for your buck would be the Moosoolsa.

I think that's a BJJ gi. Maybe not. It sure looks sweet but if it's 3 times the money - NO WAY!!
