Press Release

LOS ANGELES, CA - May 21, 2026

Elite Sports has introduced its 2026 women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gi collection, expanding the line with a tailored, tapered fit designed for women’s frames. The updated range, now offered in black, white, pink, purple, and blue, marks a clear step toward closing the fit disparity that has long affected female BJJ athletes in a sport where gi sizing has, for decades, leaned toward men.

For many women who train BJJ, finding a gi that moves with the body, without excess fabric bunching at the shoulders or loosening around the waist mid-roll, has been a real challenge on the mat. Elite Sports’ 2026 collection takes a measured approach: each jacket is cut to follow the natural shape of a woman’s frame, reducing excess material while preserving a full range of motion.

The gis are built from 450gsm pearl-weave fabric that comes pre-shrunk. That means the fit holds after regular machine washing, removing the sizing guesswork that trips up many first-time buyers. Pants are made from a CVC blend (60% cotton, 40% polyester) with a rope drawstring closure and reinforced stitching at high-stress seams. The Elite Women’s core black, blue, and white gi in the line carries IBJJF approval, making it suited for both daily training and competitive mat time.

Each gi also ships with a free white belt. Elite Sports uses its own sizing system, separate from other brands, and advises buyers to measure against its size chart before placing an order.

Those looking to explore the full range can find details about the women’s BJJ gi collection on the Elite Sports site. Among the available colorways, the Core Blue Women’s BJJ Gi has attracted attention from tournament-focused athletes who prefer a lighter build on competition day.

The goal is to produce a BJJ gi that fits the way women actually move on the mat. A gi that pulls or bunches becomes a liability in a live roll. This Elite Sports collection was built with that in mind.

Elite Sports offers its women’s line alongside men’s and kids’ options, with gear designed for active use across all skill levels.
