Some gis come and go. The Classic endures.

In the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, trends change constantly. New brands appear, new fabrics are invented, new designs compete for attention. But through it all, one kimono has stood the test of time, the test of the mat, and the test of thousands of training sessions across every corner of the globe: the Atama Classic.

For years, the Atama Single Weave was one of the most beloved kimonos in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — a staple on mats around the world, trusted by practitioners of every level for its lightweight feel and outstanding durability. Over time, Atama listened, refined and upgraded: improved construction, enhanced details, a sharper fit. The result was so significant that it deserved a new name. The Classic was born.

This is not a new kimono. It is the evolution of a legend.

Built to Last. Designed to Perform.

The Classic is constructed from a 500 GSM 100% cotton single weave fabric — lightweight, breathable and extraordinarily resistant. This is the evolution of Atama's original Single Weave model, a best seller for many years that earned its reputation the hard way: roll after roll, session after session, year after year.

The result is a gi that feels broken in from the very first session, yet holds its shape and integrity long after lesser kimonos have fallen apart. This is what Brazilian craftsmanship looks like.

Every Detail Thought Through

The Jacket

•       Seamless back panel — one continuous piece of fabric with no centre seam, eliminating the discomfort that traditional seams cause during guard work. Your back will thank you after every long session.

•       500 GSM 100% cotton single weave — lightweight yet remarkably tough. The perfect balance for daily training and competition alike.

•       Anti-bacterial rubber lapel filling — super lightweight, stronger and faster to dry than traditional foam-filled collars. Resists odour and water absorption for superior hygiene.

•       Reinforcements on all stress points — collar, armpits, cuffs. Because the Classic is built to be trained in, not just worn.

•       High definition embroidered Atama logos on both sleeves, chest and back.

The Pants

•       100% cotton pants — comfortable, durable and easy to move in.

•       Double reinforced knee pads — extra protection exactly where you need it most, built to withstand the grinding demands of BJJ training.

A Name That Means Something

Atama has been crafting kimonos in Rio de Janeiro since the 1990s. The Classic carries that entire legacy in every stitch. It is the gi that introduced countless practitioners to the Atama standard — and the gi that keeps them coming back, year after year, belt after belt.

Whether you are a white belt stepping onto the mat for the first time or a black belt with decades of experience, the Classic meets you exactly where you are. It asks nothing of you except that you train — and it will be ready every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Atama Classic approved for IBJJF competition?

Yes. The Classic is fully approved by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) for use in all official competitions. You can compete at any level with complete confidence.

What is the difference between the Classic and the Mundial 10?

The Mundial 10 features Atama's exclusive proprietary 600 GSM hybrid weave — the most advanced BJJ gi fabric ever made — and is built specifically for elite competition, with a Military Rip-Stop collar and pants. The Classic uses a 500 GSM 100% cotton single weave with a cotton collar and cotton pants, making it lighter, softer and ideal for daily training, regular competition, and practitioners looking for outstanding quality at a more accessible price point. Both share the same Brazilian craftsmanship and IBJJF approval.

Is the Classic suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. The Classic is the perfect first gi for anyone starting their BJJ journey. It is lightweight, comfortable, durable and easy to care for. At the same time, it meets the standards demanded by experienced competitors — many practitioners use the Classic as their everyday training gi throughout their entire BJJ career.

How does the single weave fabric feel compared to heavier gis?

Single weave fabric is noticeably lighter and more breathable than double weave or heavier constructions. This makes the Classic ideal for long training sessions, hot weather, and anyone who prefers a gi that moves with them rather than against them. Despite its lighter weight, the 500 GSM construction is highly resistant and built to withstand years of hard training.

How should I wash and care for the Classic?

Wash in cold water (30°C maximum) on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry — air dry flat or hang to preserve the shape and integrity of the weave. Do not bleach or iron directly on embroidered areas. Proper care will extend the life of your gi significantly.

Will the Classic shrink after washing?

Like all 100% cotton gis, the Classic may shrink slightly after the first wash. We recommend washing in cold water and air drying to minimise shrinkage. After a couple of controlled washes, the gi will settle into its final fit.

Is the Classic available in multiple colours?

Yes. The Atama Classic is available in White, Blue and Black — all IBJJF approved for competition use.

Where is the Classic made?

Every Atama Classic is proudly handcrafted in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil — the birthplace of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This is authentic Brazilian craftsmanship, not outsourced production.

What is your return policy?

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, you may return your Classic within 15 days of delivery in its original packaging and unused condition for a full refund of the product price. Sale items are not eligible for return.
