Kimono Jiu
What makes clothes shrink after you wash them?
Is it the heat? I have a setting on my dryer that says, "no heat- Air fluff"...would this be ok, I"m gonna be washing my Jiu Jitsu Kimono and i can't have it shrink. Thanks!
I would wash it cold water and line-dry it if you're not in a rush (i.e. plan ahead and don't try to do this an hour before a class or something). If you must use the machine the setting you've mentioned is probably the best. You might also be able to get away with a setting for delicates, since that has heat but it's not nearly as hot as other settings. But so far with all of my clothing the ONLY way I have found to keep anything from shrinking is to line-dry it.

What Is The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi?
The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi, also known as the Jiu Jitsu Kimono, is the uniform Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners wear while training. The traditional colors are white, blue and sometimes black. Other color kimonos are more seldom found. It is made from a special type of fabric that ensures no ripping of any kind during training. They are made to withhold grabbing, pulling, throwing, etc. All Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi's should be using strictly 100% cotton, so keep in mind any Gi company that does not supply you with a Gi made of 100% cotton do not buy!
Jiu Jitsu Gi's are primarily made either light or heavy. However, these days you will see special names Gi companies make for their new Gi's such as gold, platinum, pearl, etc. The names usually associated with the lighter Gi's are Single Weave, Pearl Weave, etc. And the names usually associated with the heavier Gi's are Double Weave, Gold Weave, etc. The names of the Jiu Jitsu Gi's are not really important, but what is important is their weight. For competition it is recommended to use a light weight Gi so you'd buy a Single or Pearl Weave. If you're buying a Jiu JItsu Gi just for training then it is recommended to use a heavier one like a Double Weave or Gold Weave. The weight of the Jiu Jitsu Gi is also usually just a personal preference. One is not better than the other.
In all, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi's are simply what Jiu Jitsu fighters wear to practice their martial art of submission wrestling. They are made up of 100% cotton and are usually made either light or heavy in colors of white blue or black. Now decide whether you would like a heavy or light weight Jiu Jitsu Gi and purchase your own Submission Kimono. Train hard!
