• Black Eagle Gold Weave Gi Review
• Expired – 15% off discount code for martial arts and BJJ gear – limited time only
• Cheap BJJ Gi’s – under £36 for a Gold Weave!!

]]> 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:

]]> This is the official rashguard and board shorts for the Ultimate Fighter Season 9 TV show, and worn by the UK team!  This might be of interest to those of us in the UK that train MMA.



The shorts have a distressed UK flag on the right leg, the “Ultimate Fighter”logo on the left leg, and a “Tapout” logo on the back.



The rash guard has the “Ultimate Fighter” logo on the front, “UK” on the back and a “Tapout” logo on side.

Personally, I think the shorts look great.  Wearing both at the same time may make you look like a “TUF Noobie” going to the gym for the first time though!

]]>

I received an interesting newsletter from the International Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Federation today (IBJJF).  It appears they have created a set of rules as to what you can or cannot wear in their no-gi competitions.

According to IBJJF rules:

RASHGUARDS:

THE ATHLETES WILLING TO COMPETE IN JIU-JITSU NO-GI EVENTS SHOULD WEAR A BLACK BOARD SHORT (SEE REQUIREMENTS) AND A BLACK OR WHITE RASH GUARD HAVING AT LEAST 10% OF THE FABRIC WITH THE COLOR ACCORDING TO HIS/HER BELT RANK.

BOARD SHORTS :

MEN: THE COMPETITORS CAN ONLY COMPETE WITH ANY BLACK BOARD SHORTS (MUST BE ALL SOLID BLACK COLOR, NO OTHER COLORS WILL BE ACCEPTED).

WOMEN: THE COMPETITORS CAN COMPETE WITH ANY ALL SOLID BLACK BOARD SHORTS, ALL SOLID BLACK LYCRA SHORTS OR ALL SOLID BLACK LYCRA PANTS (MUST BE ALL SOLID BLACK COLOR, NO OTHER COLORS WILL BE ACCETPTED).

The IBJJF no-gi tournaments are still a new thing, but I bet it won’t be long before the rules are enforced in the UK soon.  There will be a no-gi tournament in Birmingham later in the year, but I’m not sure if these will be done by belt rank, or whether they will use IBJJF rules.  At the moment, it appears only Keiko Raca and Nogi produce ” IBJJF Approved” uniform, but UK distributors and manufacturers should take these rules into account when designing new rashguards and shorts.  I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head that currently stocks black or white rashguards with 10% of its colour being purple or brown.

]]> Latest Deal – Atama Rashguards for only £10!!

Atama Rash Guards are made from Heavy Duty Lycra to protect your skin during none gi training and competition. They allow moisture to pass through rather than soak up like a t-shirt.

Heavy elastic at the waist keeps it from riding up on your stomach. Cut long making it easy to tuck in. They can also be used under your gi to protect your skin.

Made in Brazil , ATAMA are one of the top names in MMA Fight gear. ATAMA are approved by the legendary Royce Gracie.



I own and regularly wear the blue Atama rashguard shown above for no-gi training as well as underneath my gi.   In my experience, I have found some rashguards to fit well, but tend to feel too tight. The Atama rashguard on the other hand  is very comfortable.   The elastic waist does prevent the top from riding up, but is not too tight.   I have owned an Atama rashguard for about one and a half years, and the print has not peeled off either. This is a big plus in my opinion, as I have owned rashguards that have started peeling after one training session!

For £10, this is a rare bargain.   If you are considering buying a new rashguard or upgrading your training equipment, then I would seriously consider one of these.   Since this is a clearance sale, I would order one asap as you won’t find many of these type of offers around, especially in the UK!

Atama Long Sleeve Rash Guard – Black – £10

Atama Long Sleeve Rash Guard – Blue/White – £10

Atama Short Sleeve Rash Guard – Red/Black – £10

Atama Short Sleeve Rash Guard – Black/White – £10

Ladies Atama Short Sleeve Rash Guard – Black/Pink – £10
