Type of Weaves In BJJ GI’s – Why you should buy Habrok BJJ Gi. The 4 Most Common BJJ Gi Weaves and Which BJJ Gi Weave is Best? You can tell a lot about a fabric when you know the construction of the weave used to construct it. BJJ gis are most commonly identified by their weight in grams, which is the weight of the fabric in grams per square meter (gsm). Fabric weight is an essential indicator of the overall quality of the knit and often reflects the strength, quality and durability of a fabric. However, fabric weight alone does...

Habrok’s Tactica Leve February 21, 2018 by JJM Staff It’s no secret that most of the world’s gis are made in Pakistan. Many factories churn out gis for various brands made to their client’s specifications. Their clients are the companies that sell this gis under their brand name. Aside from some of the larger companies, these smaller brands will oftentimes have very little say on the actual processes put in place during the manufacturing. Habrok is a company that launched in the United States just last year; however, the owner Sal Sandal is an American whose family actually owns their...

This gi keeps it simple, keeping the frills to a minimum and sticking with basic pink details (though there’s also an option for purple).

Habrok is trying to take the gi market by storm adding their product offering to the already huge gear market that is available to jiu jitsu practitioners.  They are confident in their product lines and submitted their recent release, the Habrok Tatica 2.0 for review.  I wore this gi for over 3 months to determine its quality, longevity and rolling performance, check out my review. Disclosures This Gi was submitted to me free of charge (by way of gireviews.net) for review.  I have never done any work with or for Habrok.

As most BJJ practitioners know, the vast majority of the gis in the world are produced in Pakistan. This is not only because of the rich textile manufacturing industry that exists there, but also because of the domestic sourcing of super high quality - and low cost - cotton crops. Over the past decades, this all came together resulting in a bonafide manufacturing centre for jiu-jitsu gis - and sporting goods in general - in Pakistan. But there has always been a disconnect between the manufacturers (who in large part don't necessarily understand the world of jiu-jitsu) and the jiu-jitsu...
