Materials: comfort and durability<\/h2>\n\n<p>JJB kimonos are generally made from cotton or specific fiber blends, to offer strength and lightness. Here are the two main categories: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lightweight kimono:<\/strong> Ideal for summer training or for those looking to reduce their weight before a competition. Competitors, especially IBJJF competitors, must weigh themselves with their kimono before the competition. With a lightweight kimono, you&#8217;ll limit the weight loss you have to undergo and gain in energy and comfort before the competition!   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/en\/product\/kimono-de-jiu-jitsu-bresilien\/\" data-type=\"product\" data-id=\"13021\">IBJJF-approved JJB Fighting Films kimono<\/a> is 450 gsm and therefore one of the so-called lightweight kimonos, perfect for competitors. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Thick kimono:<\/strong> Designed for those seeking durability and resistance to opposing grips. Or for beginners who sometimes prefer a thicker, softer kimono. Heavier kimonos strengthen your stamina and are therefore practical for training.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Discover our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/en\/product\/jjb-albator-kimono\/\" data-type=\"product\" data-id=\"19910\">JJB Albator kimono<\/a>, in collaboration with the legendary Japanese manga <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. IBJJF certification: a key criterion for competitors<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you plan to take part in competitions, your kimono must meet the international standards of the <strong>International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF)<\/strong>. Here are the main requirements: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Authorized colors: <strong>white, blue and black.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sleeve and jacket lengths comply with regulations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patches and embroidery in certain areas only. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Fighting Films<\/strong> kimonos are designed to meet these standards, guaranteeing trouble-free acceptance at official competitions. Try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/en\/product\/kimono-de-jiu-jitsu-bresilien\/\" data-type=\"product\" data-id=\"13021\"><strong>IBJJF Fighting Films Kimono<\/strong><\/a> Kimono Fighting Films for pre-competition peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Design and style: standing out with elegance<\/h2>\n\n<p>Kimono is also a question of personal style. Some prefer sober designs with minimalist embroidery, while others opt for bolder patterns. <\/p>\n\n<p>Our IBJJF Yokai-approved jjb kimono features a sober design, with some Japanese lettering, inspired by our strong link with judo, JJB&#8217;s cousin martial art. <\/p>\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve also developed a unique kimono with a special design in collaboration with Albator. This Gi will take you back to your childhood with the famous adventures of the space pirate. Its design has been specially crafted for JJB, with a skull and crossbones on the back and heart, as well as meticulous red finishing and a collector&#8217;s Fighting Films logo.   <\/p>\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/single-product\" data-product-id=\"19986\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;productId&quot;:19986,&quot;variationId&quot;:null}\" data-wp-interactive=\"woocommerce\/single-product\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-single-product woocommerce\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-image\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" data-show-sale-badge=\"false\" class=\"wc-block-components-product-image wc-block-grid__product-image wc-block-components-product-image--aspect-ratio-auto wp-block-woocommerce-product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/produit\/kimono-de-jjb-albator\/?attribute_pa_couleur=noir&#038;attribute_pa_taille=a1\" style=\"\" data-wp-on--click=\"woocommerce\/product-collection::actions.viewProduct\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-920x933.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_single size-woocommerce_single\" alt=\"Kimono de JJB Albator\" data-testid=\"product-image\" data-image-id=\"19922\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-920x933.jpg 920w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-592x600.jpg 592w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-1010x1024.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-768x779.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-1514x1536.jpg 1514w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-2019x2048.jpg 2019w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/KIMnoirBrande-8-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-image__inner-container\"><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/produit\/kimono-de-jjb-albator\/?attribute_pa_couleur=noir&#038;attribute_pa_taille=a1\" target=\"_self\">Kimono de JJB Albator &#8211; black, A1<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-price\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-product-price\" ><div class=\"wc-block-components-product-price wc-block-grid__product-price\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi>200.00<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&euro;<\/span><\/bdi><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Couleur: Noir, Taille: A1 <\/p><\/div>\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/add-to-cart-form\" data-is-descendent-of-single-product-block=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-add-to-cart-form wc-block-add-to-cart-form wc-block-add-to-cart-form--input wp-block-woocommerce-add-to-cart-form\" ><p class=\"stock out-of-stock\">Out of stock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/product-meta\" class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-product-meta\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
