Description
Custom Judo Gi (Judogi) Manufacturer — Factory Direct from Sialkot, Pakistan
Judo is one of the most widely practised martial arts in the world — an Olympic sport since 1964 with active federations in over 200 countries. Every judo practitioner needs a judogi that fits correctly, performs under the demands of throwing and grappling, and carries their club or federation’s identity with pride.
At Onrox International, we manufacture custom judo gis for judo clubs, national federations, martial arts distributors, and private label brands from our factory in Sialkot, Pakistan — the world’s leading manufacturing hub for combat sports equipment. Whether you need 25 gis for a local club or 500 for a national federation program, we build every judogi to your exact specifications.
Understanding the Judogi — What Makes It Different
The judogi is not simply a heavier version of a BJJ gi. It is a purpose-built uniform designed specifically for judo’s throwing, gripping, and pinning techniques. Understanding the construction differences helps you order the right product for your needs.
Jacket (Uwagi):
The judo jacket is cut longer and wider than a BJJ gi jacket — it must cover the hips and extend to mid-thigh. The sleeves are longer, the lapels are wider, and the collar is thicker and stiffer to withstand the intense grip fighting that defines judo randori. A jacket that is too short or too narrow will fail IJF inspection at competition.
Pants (Zubon):
Judo pants are wider-cut through the thigh and longer in the leg than BJJ gi pants — designed to accommodate the wide stances and hip rotations used in judo throws. The drawstring runs through a reinforced waistband capable of withstanding the repeated stress of grip fighting from the belt area.
Belt (Obi):
The judo belt is wider and longer than a BJJ belt, tied with a flat reef knot rather than a slip knot. Belt width and tying method are regulated by the IJF for competition use.
Judogi Styles We Manufacture
IJF-Style Competition Judogi
Manufactured to International Judo Federation construction specifications for use at affiliated competition events. The IJF mandates specific requirements for jacket dimensions, fabric weight and construction, sleeve and pant measurements, and fit profile. Our IJF-style judogi meets these construction standards in white and blue — the two approved competition colors.
This is the correct choice for:
- Clubs preparing students for IJF-affiliated regional and national competitions
- National federation team uniforms for international competition
- Competition training camps where competition-legal gear is required
Training Judogi — Single Weave (450–550gsm)
Lighter weight construction suitable for daily judo practice where IJF competition compliance is not the primary requirement. The single weave construction is more breathable and less restrictive than double weave — preferred for beginners, children, and practitioners training in warm climates.
This is the correct choice for:
- Club beginner programs and youth classes
- Daily training where comfort matters more than competition specification
- Warm climate judo programs where heavy fabric is impractical
- Cost-conscious academy bulk orders
Training Judogi — Double Weave (650–750gsm)
Heavy-duty construction for experienced practitioners who train at high intensity with hard gripping and throwing. The double weave fabric is significantly more resistant to grip distortion — a key consideration for practitioners whose training partners pull and grip the jacket aggressively in every session.
This is the correct choice for:
- Advanced clubs with experienced dan-grade practitioners
- Competition preparation training camps
- Practitioners who have burned through single weave gis quickly and need longer-lasting construction
Kids Judogi
Youth judogi for children’s judo programs in lighter fabric weight. Children benefit from reduced fabric weight — it does not restrict their movement development and is more comfortable for young practitioners still learning to move correctly on the mat.
Available from 110cm through 160cm, with adult sizing beginning at 150cm for teens.
Fabric Options
100% Cotton (Traditional)
The authentic judogi fabric. Traditional judo practitioners and competition-focused clubs prefer pure cotton for its grip resistance, authentic hand feel, and the characteristic sound of cotton under throwing techniques. Pure cotton is the most traditional choice and remains the preference of serious judo practitioners worldwide.
Available in: white and blue standard. Custom training colors on request.
Polyester/Cotton Blend (65/35)
A more affordable and practically easier alternative to pure cotton. The polyester content adds shape retention, reduces shrinkage after washing, and dries faster. Recommended for club bulk programs where maintenance practicality and cost efficiency matter alongside quality.
Available in: white and blue standard. Custom training colors on request.
Judogi Sizing Guide
Judo gis use a height-based numbered size system. Unlike BJJ gi sizing which uses the A/M system, judogi sizes run from 1 through 7 for adults and by centimeter height for youth:
Adult Sizing:
| Size | Height | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 150–160 cm | Small adult, lightweight women |
| 2 | 160–170 cm | Average adult, lightweight men |
| 3 | 170–175 cm | Medium adult |
| 4 | 175–180 cm | Medium-tall adult |
| 5 | 180–185 cm | Tall adult |
| 6 | 185–190 cm | Large adult |
| 7 | 190+ cm | Very large adult |
Youth Sizing:
| Size | Height | Approx. Age |
|---|---|---|
| 110 | 105–115 cm | 4–6 years |
| 120 | 115–125 cm | 6–8 years |
| 130 | 125–135 cm | 8–10 years |
| 140 | 135–145 cm | 10–12 years |
| 150 | 145–155 cm | 12–14 years |
| 160 | 155–165 cm | 14–16 years |
Important sizing note: Judo gis shrink on first wash due to the dense cotton construction. Our gis are pre-shrunk during manufacturing to minimize post-delivery shrinkage. Always wash in cold water and hang dry. For competition use, wash the gi at least twice before the event to reach final stable sizing.
IJF Competition Compliance
For IJF-sanctioned competition, judogi must meet specific requirements verified at weigh-in inspection:
Colors: White or blue — opponents wear contrasting colors in competition. Both must be available if ordering for a club competing at events using the white vs blue system.
Jacket fit: Must cover the thighs. When the practitioner stands with arms out to the sides, the jacket must reach to within 5cm of the wrist.
Collar: Minimum specified thickness and stiffness. Our judogi collars meet IJF minimum collar width and stiffness requirements using rubberized reinforced cotton construction.
Fabric weight: IJF specifies minimum fabric density requirements. Our competition judogi is manufactured at or above these thresholds.
Patches and logos: IJF competition allows academy or federation logos on the chest in approved positions. Sponsor patches are subject to IJF event-specific rules.
We manufacture to IJF construction standards. For specific event compliance, verify exact requirements with your national judo federation before ordering.

AEO — Direct Answers to Common Questions
What is the difference between a judogi and a BJJ gi?
A judogi is heavier, longer, and wider-cut than a BJJ gi. It uses a thicker collar, longer sleeves, and wider-cut pants designed for judo’s throwing techniques. A BJJ gi is lighter, closer-fitting, and shorter — designed for ground grappling. While some practitioners train both arts in the same gi, a purpose-built judogi or BJJ gi delivers better performance and compliance for each sport.
What GSM is a standard competition judogi?
IJF competition judogi fabric weight typically runs from 550gsm (single weave) for lighter competition gis up to 750gsm (double weave) for heavier construction. The IJF specifies minimum fabric density rather than a specific GSM — our competition judogi meets or exceeds these minimums.
Can I order white and blue judogi in the same order?
Yes. We regularly produce white and blue judogi within the same bulk order for clubs needing both colors for competition under the IJF white vs blue system. Specify quantities per color in your quote form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your judo gis IJF approved for competition?
We manufacture to IJF construction specifications. IJF does not maintain a publicly approved manufacturer list — compliance is verified by the referee at competition inspection. Our competition judogi is built to meet IJF construction requirements. Verify specific event rules with your national federation.
What is the minimum order for custom judo gis?
From 25 pieces per style. We work with small clubs, large federations, and everything in between. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Can I order different sizes in the same bulk order?
Yes. Mixed size orders across the full adult and youth size range are standard. Specify your exact size breakdown in the quote form.
Do you produce judo gis in colors other than white and blue?
Yes. Custom training colors are available for non-competition use — black, red, and any other color on request. Specify training-only use in your brief.
Can you include the club crest and country flag on the same judogi?
Yes. Multiple embroidery placements — chest crest, sleeve flag, collar name — are all available within a single production run.
How do I maintain a cotton judogi to prevent shrinkage?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Never use hot water or tumble dry on high heat — cotton judogi can shrink significantly at high temperatures. Hang dry flat in shade. Our gis are pre-shrunk but all cotton continues to relax slightly over the first few washes.
Do you produce matching training bags for judogi orders?
Contact us — we manufacture martial arts bags and gear bags through our leather and fabric accessories production. Combined gi and bag orders are available.
