The third chapter of the Benkei Trilogy is finally here!

Legendary, and larger than life, the 12th century monk turned warrior Benkei still inspires modern day warriors with his many accounts of bravery, and formidable fighting skills.

Described by all accounts as a unique looking character, even as a child due to his unusually large frame ( some accounts say he grew to be over 6 foot 6”) and intese face features, he was dubbed early on “Oni Waka” (Demon Child) also due to his fiery, and intense character. Too wild to adhere to the strict tenements of a monastic life, he set out to travel Japan as a ronin, vowing to challenge every man with a sword he would cross paths with until he had collected 100 swords from their unworthy hands.

Every detail has been reproduced with high fidelity on a premium cotton tee using waterbase ink to provide a soft and comfortable feel. Every line, every brush stroke is like a katana strike that has left an indelible mark on the surface of this tee.

Please note for this tee we used our vintage blank. If you are usually size M, go ahead and order an M.

As always 100% cotton, crafted in the USA with heavier yarns, this garment has been hand-treated with intentional imperfections for authentically worn-in softness and style...pretty bad ass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sizes and fit

How do I choose my BJJ kimono size?

Men's BJJ kimono sizes range from A0 to A5 based on height and weight. Women's sizes range from F1 to F5. Consult our size guide with a comparative height/weight chart to find your perfect fit.

Does BJJ gi shrink after washing?

Cotton gis can shrink by 5-10% on the first wash. We recommend buying a size up if you plan to machine wash it at 30°C. Pearl weave gis are more resistant to shrinkage.

What's the difference between size A1L and A1 in BJJ kimonos?

The A1L (Long) size is designed for people who weigh the same as an A1 but are taller, with longer legs and sleeves. Ideal for those who are tall but have a light build.

Product and technique

What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi in BJJ?

The Gi is the traditional cotton kimono used in standard BJJ practice. No-Gi is practiced with a rashguard and shorts, without a kimono. Many practitioners train both to develop different techniques.

What does Pearl Weave mean in kimono fabric?

Pearl Weave (pearl weave) is the most common type of fabric used for BJJ gis. It offers an excellent balance between lightness and resistance to grips, is breathable, and dries faster than Gold Weave.

Is my gi approved for IBJJF competitions?

IBJJF-approved gis must comply with specific requirements regarding color (white, blue, black), sleeve and leg length, and fabric weight. Each product description indicates whether the gi is IBJJF approved.

How to properly wash a BJJ gi?

Wash the item at 30°C on a delicate spin cycle, inside out to protect the embroidery. Avoid tumble drying as it may shrink. Hang to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight which fades colours.
