Lucky Gi (Bjj)

[Paul Roach]

Hey all i have been looking for a good gi any input?

i have been looking at a lucky gi but cant find them any where, i hurd they are very limited now.. any one help genral thoughts on all Gi's if possable.:confused:

[Rob T]

I've heard a few people say they bought one and it ripped pretty quickly.

[Ben]

I had one for a while but I sold it simply because I outgrew it a bit :rolleyes: and due to currency fluctuations I didnt lose any money on it.

Awesome quality and the best gi trousers I've ever seen. Not heard much about them ripping tbh

fightlord in Ireland sell them

[Paul Roach]

cool, My instroutor wares one, they look reli good quility and yes the trousers look dam nice, what else beside lucky gi's would u recomend, and Ben is there a site for fightlords? cheers

EDIT: ive been on the Fightlord site, they only have A5 dam!.. i need A2 :((

[Rob T]

I always recommend Faixa Rua for quality at low cost (then I get flamed by all the faggots who post here).

I also like Atama double weave (although, it's no better quality than the Faixa Rua and I hear the newer ones aren't so good) and Keiko Raca are really good but mine has shrunk loads.

Best advice is to check out what the guys at your gym wear.

My chief instructor Chris Haueter wears a Lucky Gi, as does one of my students, you can find them at www.onthemat.com

my Faixa Rua is the nuts , I also have a pimped evolution Gi. If you have the means I would recomend one

[Gareth]

Black Eagle Gi's are also good value for money, I've got one and a Vulkan and both are decent. As for Lucky Gi's Geeza at our gym got one very recently from the OTM store (fishface has linked it above) and they look really good quality and well made, got to make sure you've got the skills to pull one off though!

I think there were a lot of fake lucky gis made that might be why

Our coach Chris Hauter has a lucky gi he trains every day and his looks in good condition, 3 other guys I know have them and they had no problems with them at all. Very well made gis, but also very expensive.

I've got a venum, gameness and a HCK, all are good gis that hold up well to training 4 times a week in my case!

HCK is awesome just too heavy for competitions

Venum is a little short but looks cool

Gameness is a great gi, very hard wearing,

My Lucky Gi is the Nuts!!

guy out here has one, his ripped in the pants first time he used it. 6 months later and the pants are like patchwork, multiple rips he's had to repair

[Paul Roach]

wow thanks people i will have a look at all the ones u have posted, onthemat only stock a5 so i cant get one as that is way to big, i have been looking at a koral one for $141 what do u think of them?

[Paul Roach]

fightlord only stock black ones :( and there full on 250 euro :D

[Rob T]

i have been looking at a koral one for $141 what do u think of them?

Koral are good gis but I really think you're better off getting a cheaper but equal quality UK distributed brand.

With shipping & tax the Koral is going to cost ~£120 I guess. You could get two quality gis for that. Then again, maybe you can afford it easily in which case get whatever you like!

Also, check UK stores for Koral because with the exchange rate as it is now it may not be so good getting it from the US.

On the koral web site, there is a eu page, when if u spend over so much shipping is free. With a new belt it will cost only £107 it seams alot to spend on a gi but i have started to like this one, i will get another one next week maby a Keiko or venum :D

[Rob T]

Free shipping is a good deal, normally costs loads!

ya well now i have questioned it.. i got an email saying, give them my post code so they can work out shipping cost.. perfect lol :rolleyes:

[Paul Roach]

lol this was my reply.

The shipping coast is US$ 35,11. by Correios do Brasil, but it takes between 15 and 16 working days to arrive in England or by FedEx is US$ 54,54.

If you would want to do your order, send me your credit card number, valid date and security code.

Regards.


what a joke haha :D
that puts it up quite alot ^^

[Rob T]

Yeah, that's about normal I think. The FedEx costs are always crazy.

Get two Faixa Rua gis instead :)

[wagon]

other UK Gi companies are available!!!:D

[MFF]

If you really want a Lucky Gi (They are really well built) then Bull Terrier Fight Gear Japan stock them and ship to UK (2 Days with Japan Express Mail) Unfortunately in todays current financial climate you will be crucified by the exchange rate :mad: (but same with the Dollar too:( )
