About

Gear advice that gets to the point.

An independent guide to the kit you need for BJJ, with the sources in plain sight.

Less time shopping. More time training.

A gi size can change from one brand to the next. Product listings disagree about weights. A long list of options does not always make choosing easier.

Grip & Gi brings brand specifications, independent reviews and community reports together in short gear guides. Every pick explains who it suits and what to watch for. We do not test gear in-house, and the sources are linked so you can see the basis for each review.
