Gi companies are full of . . . .well you know

Not sure about anyone else, but I feel like the gi market can be a bit disingenuous these days. Companies seem to pop up and claim to have something “new” or some change that makes them better than the rest. On closer inspection it often ends up being just another gi that has been cloned off another gi company’s design and produced in Pakistan. Not new, Not special, just marketing and someone trying to make a buck. Which, I guess I can’t blame anyone for trying to make money, but if you’re going to do it, at least be honest.

Here is a video from Datsusara exposing fake claims about a hemp gi.

Custom gis for my gym!

So after nearly 6 weeks of waiting our custom Derby City gis came in! I’m so happy about them. They came out really well and the gis are top notch. I’m normally suited up in either a Keiko or Shoyoroll but these gis are made by a Gi company called Da Firma. Their website is http://www.dafirmabjj.com . I’ll do a video review of their Gi in the next few days but for now, check out the new patches I had made for the gi!
