Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hayabusa Essential Gold Weave Gi IBJJF legal?

Yes — the Essential Gold Weave Gi is available in IBJJF-legal colours (white, black, and royal blue) with competition-legal construction. Always verify with the current IBJJF gi inspection rules before your specific tournament.

Does the Hayabusa BJJ gi shrink after washing?

The Essential Gold Weave Gi is pre-shrunk, so it holds its size reliably through regular washing. To maintain fit, wash in cold water and hang dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat as this can cause unwanted shrinkage over time.

What size Hayabusa gi should I get?

Hayabusa gis are sized A0–A5 for adults. As a general guide: A1 for under 5'7" up to ~155 lbs, A2 for 5'7"–5'11" up to ~180 lbs, A3 for 5'11"–6'2" up to ~210 lbs, A4–A5 for larger frames. A2 is the most common size. When between sizes, going one size up is usually better for BJJ since gis tend to wear tighter after long matches.

What is gold weave vs pearl weave?

Gold weave is a heavier, more tightly woven fabric than single pearl weave. It is more durable and resistant to tearing but slightly heavier. Pearl weave (used in the Hayabusa Lightweight and Ascend gis) is lighter and better for warm climates or weight-conscious competitors. Gold weave is the better choice for durable daily training.
