Before all the bling and trends in the gi industry, one brand proved for so long how it is possible to stay simple, and survive through the years. If you are starting in BJJ and you are after function, way more than the crazy aesthetics like a Dragon Ball or a Star Wars gi perhaps, then Fuji is the right brand for you. For $94, the Fuji All Around BJJ Gi is a sweet deal as it can be. Rarely do you get to see a gi that goes below the $100 tag.

For starters,  I have a Fuji All Around BJJ A2 Gi in rotation over the past 2 years, and it hasn't showed any sign of wear and tear. This is the most suggested gi for those who are starting BJJ. Why? For starters, it is $94. In terms of durability, this can last for years! If you find BJJ not a perfect fit for you, you don't end up paying for a $200 Shoyoroll! 

 What Is The Gi Composed Of?

 Considered a mid weight gi, it is made of single weave material for the top while cotton drill fabric for the trousers. Unlike the common practice of using pearl weave top and rip stop pants, Fuji managed to keep the prices low by choosing single weave for top. However, in contrast to other gis, this is also the reason why it is a bit heavier. 

Another thing that makes the Fuji Single Weave different from the other newer gis is its collar. Often times, we see collars that are lined with either EVA foam or rubber. Personally though, Fuji All Around Gi's collar is too thick. It may be quite hard to grip compared to other softer variants, but this may not be a that comfortable to roll with.  

 The pants isn't the best to tell you honestly. Made of cotton drill material, it can get heavy after a hard roll since it tends to get more sweat. As for the loop system, it simply has two while utilizing a drawstring. 

 Shrinkage

 The gi has been washed, tumble dried and hang dried for so many times over the course of two years. Unlike the Fuji Summerweave Gi, the Fuji All Around BJJ gi never showed significant amount of shrinkage. 

Aesthetics 

 In terms of the aesthetics, nothing flashy can be seen on this gi. Embroidery of the Fuji logo on the shoulders and shoulders. That's it. The rest, feel free to fill the gi up! 

 Overall Performance and Sizing
Whether for the beginner or the long time grappler, Fuji All Around Gi never fails to deliver. It makes the cut for a day to day gi. The problem with this gi is the weight. If you are planning to compete with this, you better make sure that you lose more weight. For the fit, the gi is quite baggy. I'm 5'7" around 150, supposedly I should be an A2. However, it seems that I could go down to an A1. 

 Gi Critic Verdict

 Judging by the pros and cons, from the price to performance, the gi is a highly recommended for serious BJJ enthusiasts who love the no bull shit approach in BJJ apparel.
