Judo Gi Manufacturer in Sialkot, Pakistan — Custom Judogi for Clubs and Brands
Judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu share the same DNA — the BJJ gi evolved directly from the judogi. But despite their shared heritage, judo gis and BJJ gis are manufactured differently, sized differently, and regulated differently. Understanding these differences is essential before placing a custom judo gi order.
At Onrox International, we manufacture custom judo gis (judogi) for judo clubs, national federations, martial arts brands, and distributors from our factory in Sialkot, Pakistan.
What Is a Judo Gi (Judogi)?
A judogi is the traditional uniform worn for judo training and competition. It consists of a heavy jacket (uwagi), drawstring pants (zubon), and a belt (obi). The judogi is designed specifically for the gripping, throwing, and pinning techniques of judo — with a heavier, more durable construction than a BJJ gi to withstand the intense grip fighting that characterizes the sport.
Judo Gi vs BJJ Gi — Key Differences
| Feature | Judo Gi (Judogi) | BJJ Gi |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket cut | Longer, wider | Shorter, closer fitting |
| Sleeve length | Longer | Shorter |
| Fabric weight | Heavier (650–750gsm) | Lighter (350–550gsm) |
| Collar | Thicker, stiffer | Thinner, more flexible |
| Pants | Wider cut, longer | Narrower, shorter |
| Lapels | Wider | Narrower |
| Primary use | Throwing techniques | Ground grappling |
| Governing body | IJF | IBJJF |
Judo Gi Styles We Manufacture
IJF-Approved Competition Judogi Manufactured to International Judo Federation (IJF) specifications for competition use. The IJF has specific requirements for jacket dimensions, fabric weight, sleeve and pant measurements, and fit. Our IJF-style judogi meets these construction standards.
Training Judogi (Single Weave) Lighter weight training gi suitable for daily judo practice where competition compliance is not required. Available in 450–550gsm single weave cotton. The most affordable option for club bulk orders and beginner programs.
Heavy Training Judogi (Double Weave) Heavy-duty construction at 650–750gsm for experienced practitioners who train intensively. The double weave construction is more resistant to grip-induced tearing and distortion. Preferred for advanced clubs and competition training camps.
Kids Judogi Youth sizing for children’s judo programs. Lighter fabric weight (350–400gsm) for comfortable training. Available in the full youth size range from 110cm to 170cm.
Judo Gi Fabric Options
100% Cotton (Traditional) The gold standard for judogi fabric. Heavy cotton has the authentic feel and sound that experienced judoka prefer. Provides the necessary grip resistance for competition-level training. The traditional choice for serious judo clubs and national teams.
Cotton/Polyester Blend More affordable than pure cotton, easier to maintain, and quicker drying. Suitable for club programs where cost and maintenance practicality matter more than authentic feel. Recommended for beginner programs and kids classes.
Judo Gi Sizing
Judo gis use a numbered size system based on height — typically from size 1 (150cm) through size 7 (200cm):
| Size | Height | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 150–160 cm | Small adult, teens |
| 2 | 160–170 cm | Average adult |
| 3 | 170–175 cm | Medium-tall adult |
| 4 | 175–180 cm | Tall adult |
| 5 | 180–185 cm | Large adult |
| 6 | 185–190 cm | Extra large adult |
| 7 | 190+ cm | Very large adult |
Youth sizes available from 110cm to 160cm.

Frequently Asked Questions — Judo Gi
What is the difference between a judo gi and a BJJ gi? A judo gi is heavier, wider-cut, and has longer sleeves and pants designed for throwing techniques. A BJJ gi is lighter, closer-fitting, and has shorter sleeves and pants optimized for ground grappling. While practitioners sometimes train both arts in the same gi, a purpose-built judogi or BJJ gi provides better performance and compliance for each respective sport.
Can a BJJ gi be used for judo? A BJJ gi is generally not legal for IJF judo competition due to sleeve length and jacket size requirements. For casual training crossover, a heavier BJJ gi may be acceptable at many clubs. Check with your specific club instructor.
What is the minimum order for custom judo gis? From 25 pieces. Contact us for pricing based on your style, fabric, and customization requirements.
Do you produce judo belts in all ranks? Yes. All standard judo belt colors are available — white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black — including the senior black belt grades (1st through 9th dan) and the red-and-white and red belts for high dan grades.
