Looking at getting myself a better quality Judo Gi for around £60-70 mark, and just wondering what you guys recommend. I would like to compete locally as I intend to work my way (slowly) towads my Shodan, so do I need an IJF approved Gi, or is that only for much larger competitions? Cheers
You don't need an IJF gi to compete in local competitions. I don't think you're going to get any benefit out of a suit at that price point. If you can't afford to spend £100 on a nice gi, I'd recommend sticking to the <£30 ones.
Is the Adidas Gi on the BJA website a good quality Gi for that price? Any better ones? Or shall I just save up a bit more and go for a £100 Gi?
I'm sure it's fine, but is it worth 3x as much as the Spirit 550gsm suits I've bought from Amazon for £25? No.
