A Shock Wave single weave, "bleached white" uniform designed by us specifically for Jiu-Jitsu and specifically for people that have trouble getting a good fit with "regular uniforms". These are a special TALL and THIN cut. We've added a couple inches to the legs and sleeves (and a little to the jacket bottom). This means if you're especially tall and thin, it will fit much better for you.
It has a traditional "rice-grain" weave fabric for the entire jacket (not just the top and shoulders). The pants have reinforced quilted knees for durability. This design also features narrower sleeves, a shorter apron, and a thicker collar - a full 2" wide.
It was specifically designed to withstand heavy grappling during training and competition. The seams are reinforced - especially in the shoulders, lapel, underarms, and sleeves - to ensure durability.
This is NOT a generic grappling / Judo / Aikido uniform. While you can certainly use it for these styles, it really is intended for the new Jiu-Jitsu student. This is especially true when it comes to the thickness of the collar. Many of the generic grappling uniforms (including ours) are not beefed up in the collar for Jiu-Jitsu techniques not used by the other arts. No one else makes this uniform cut in this weight.
It is made of 450g cotton and includes pants with an elastic waist that has an internal drawstring and a light-weight white belt of matching size. We also carry other belts which are colored, heavier or with BJJ sleeves as separate items.
Please note: these uniforms are sized with "Brazilian" sizes - with the "A" prefix. Those are NOT the same as the Western/Asian sizing. Please be sure to double check the size chart to make sure you are getting the size you wanted.
The "Tall & Thin" sizes are an ATTEMPT to get your wrist-to-wrist size pretty close. If you compete a lot this is probably the first thing you want to compare if you're not sure of the size - and note that those numbers below are for UNwashed measurements. There are too many variables in how people wash stuff for us to be more specific - sorry.
