New Black Eagle BJJ Gis in stock!

Black Eagle have updated their range of top quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi (AKA BJJ Gi or BJJ Kimono). Black Eagle sponsors many top BJJ competitors in the UK, and are recommended by a lot of the schools around the country.

New Mundial Gold Weave BJJ Gis

This gi looks stunning and reminds me of a Lucky Gi or Shoyoroll gi.

The gi is 100% cotton (550gms – 20oz) and lighter than Black Eagle’s previous gold weave gi. It is woven from a single weave fabric and reinforced around joints and more vulnerable parts of the gi. The reduced sleeve will give you the advantage in competition and give your opponent a hard time gripping you!

The black gi is embroidered in gold and has the distinctive Black Eagle logo on both the jacket and pants.

Black Eagle also have a their Mundial gis in white and blue:

Cyclone Competition Kimono – Low cost BJJ Gi in the UK at £49.99

The Cyclone brand were created in 2009, and their range of cheap Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gi’s have appeared on the UK market at almost half the price of any other major brand out there. The gis are gold weave, pre-shrunk, and are available in white, blue and black. View images of the gi’s below:

The Cyclone Competition Gi are on offer at £49.99 (44% off) and can be purchased here. I feel that is a good price for a gi, as I have bought a rashguard for almost that price! Cyclone state that they can keep the prices of their BJJ gis low because they buy them in vast quantities. At the time of writing, Black Eagle and Cyclone are offering gi’s for around the £50 mark, and this can’t be bad for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in the UK (a review of the Black Eagle BJJ Gi can be found here). It should make BJJ make more accessible to people wanting to start out in the sport, but aren’t willing to spend close to £100 on a gi.

From a hygiene perspective, it also means there is less excuse for people to turn up to BJJ classes with a dirty gi and say they haven’t had time to wash and dry the thing. I will have a rant on BJJ hygiene in a future post.

Black Eagle Gold Weave Gi Review

Black Eagle Gold Weave Gi Review

dinelson — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:34:04 +0000

A few weeks ago, I posted a cheap BJJ gi offer that was available for less than £40. This was a great offer and I bought one immediately. It is very rare to find a gi at that price and it would have been stupid not to pick one up. I said I would post my own review of the gi so here it is.

Service and Delivery

I bought the gi on a Friday and it had arrived the following Tuesday. I didn’t use the next-day/express delivery option, so I was pleased with how the order was completed. There were no problems at all with the online ordering process. I have ordered from Black Eagle quite a few times, and I was expecting an excellent level of service. They didn’t disappoint me here.

First Impressions

When I opened the packaging, the first thing I noticed was that the gi was MASSIVE! It reminded of tent more than a BJJ gi. I am about 5ft6 and weigh 72kg (just over 11 stone) so I bought an A2 sized gi. As with most gi’s, they need to be shrunk down to the right size after a few washes. There was no chance that I was going to train in a gi that big so I immediately put it in the washer on 30 degrees and waited to see what happens.

I ordered the plain white gi and it did look very comfortable. The collar wasn’t too thick or stiff and the jacket itself was similar to my Keiko Raca gold weave. I was very impressed with this. The trousers felt a bit softer and thinner than the other gi pants I own, but they look sturdy enough to withstand training. There weren’t many patches on the gi other than the Black Eagle logo on it, but some people like that plan look.

Anyway, after the first wash, the gi pants and jacket did shrink a lot. For most people, I think one wash is enough to shrink down to size. However, I’m a short and stumpy guy, and I prefer a tight fitting gi, so I tried shrinking it again. I washed it again on 30 degrees and even put it in the dryer for 30 minutes. I know they say you shouldn’t dry your gi in the dryer, but I felt it needed some “extra help” in the shrinkage.

After two washes and a dry, the gi was pretty much right for me. Still a bit baggier than I would like, but definitely ok to train in. I’m sure it would shrink a little bit more in the next wash.

First training session

Like I said before, the gi top was very comfortable. I had absolutely no problems with training in it. Some of my class mates were also impressed with the gi. The trousers were also loose enough for my to play various types of guard.

I believe the gi on offer is a first generation BJJ gi from Black Eagle, and they have made further improvements to their latest range of gis. I believe that if gi’s were cheaper, then more people may get involved in the sport. They are great gi’s for first timers, or people that still aren’t sure whether they like the sport. In the past, there was nothing worse than trying to convince someone to start BJJ, only to tell them that a gi would cost around £100. I have nothing against the other brands, but as much as I love the Korals, Vulkans, Shoyorolls and even Lucky Gis, they are beyond the price range of a lot people. I believe the Black Eagle gi’s are half that price, and offer the same quality.

The BJJ gi sale is still on at the moment, but I’m not sure for how long. If you want one, I would recommend getting one soon!

For the past few days, I have been looking for some replacement trousers for my white Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gi. The ones I have found cost £22, which I thought was pretty reasonable. However, when I looked at the site, I found that there was an offer on, and they were selling the a white gold weave BJJ gi for under £36! A BJJ gi for less than 80 quid! Details can be found here:

White BJJ Gold Weave Gi – £35.99

For an extra £15, I could buy a cheap BJJ gi in the UK that doesn’t cost an arm or a leg. I have heard good reviews of the BJJ gi on various forums, and have rolled with people that have one, and they do look pretty sturdy. The blue and black ones cost a few quid more, but I fancied buying another white one.

I remember paying almost 100 pounds for my first gi, and know people that have spent around £120 on a gi, only to find it wasn’t worth the money. Less than £40 for a BJJ gi is a bargain in my opinion, but I will need to test it out first. It is ideal for anyone just starting BJJ. I write up a review on it based on first impressions, how comfortable it is, how much it shrinks and all that.

If you want to pick up a new Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gi, I recommend taking a look asap, as I can’t see this offer being available for too long.
