What is Gi Pants in BJJ?

Quick Definition

The reinforced pants portion of the BJJ gi uniform.

Full Explanation

Gi pants are the lower half of the BJJ uniform, made from reinforced cotton or ripstop material with a drawstring waist. BJJ gi pants are reinforced at the knees and seams to withstand the gripping and pulling of training. Unlike judo pants which are typically shorter, BJJ pants are cut for the range of positions used in ground fighting. Proper fitting pants should not be too long (trip hazard) or too baggy (excessive gripping material).

Examples in Context

"My gi pants have reinforced knees for durability"

"Make sure your gi pants fit properly for competition"
