Use

The Ascend Lightweight Gi is developed for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training and competitions. Thanks to the combination of durability, lightweight fabric and IBJJF compliance, this gi is suitable for:

• Regular BJJ training in the gym
• IBJJF-recognised competitions and tournaments
• Open mats and sparring sessions
• Technical lessons and drills
• Training camps and seminars

The light weight makes this gi particularly suitable for warm training environments and intensive rolling sessions where every gram counts.

Material and construction

The jacket (kimono) is made from 420 GSM pearl weave cotton. This weave style is known for balancing strength and weight: pearl weave is grip-friendly enough for your training partner to get a hold, while remaining light and breathable. The trousers are made from 8oz ripstop cotton-polyester, which provides high tear resistance in the most stressed areas such as the knees and seat. The reinforcements on the collar, knees, sleeves and other stress zones ensure the gi can withstand intensive rolling sessions, year after year.

Competition-ready

For BJJ athletes who want to compete, IBJJF compliance is essential. The Ascend meets the requirements of the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation in terms of permitted colours (white, navy, black), patch placement and cut. This means you can take this gi to IBJJF-recognised tournaments and local competitions that adhere to these standards without worry.

Fit and comfort

The Ascend is cut for an athletic, comfortable fit that doesn't restrict freedom of movement. The stretch drawstring in the trousers provides a secure, personally adjustable closure around the waist. This prevents your trousers from shifting during techniques, which is especially important during guard passing, takedowns and mat work. The lightweight fabric allows you to move smoothly without the gi slowing you down.

Sizing advice

The Ascend Gi is available in six sizes according to standard BJJ A sizing. Use the table below as a guide:

• A0 – body height 1.55 – 1.65 m / weight 50 – 65 kg
• A1 – body height 1.65 – 1.72 m / weight 65 – 75 kg
• A2 – body height 1.72 – 1.80 m / weight 75 – 85 kg
• A3 – body height 1.80 – 1.88 m / weight 85 – 95 kg
• A4 – body height 1.88 – 1.95 m / weight 95 – 110 kg
• A5 – body height from 1.95 m / weight from 110 kg

Keep in mind that the gi may shrink slightly during the first wash. If you're unsure between two sizes and fall into the upper segment of a size, choose the larger variant. Wash the gi in cold water and hang it to dry to minimise shrinkage.

For whom?

The Ascend Lightweight Gi is suitable for beginners, intermediate and experienced BJJ practitioners. Beginners benefit from the comfortable fit and durable construction, while intermediate and competition fighters appreciate the competition-ready specifications and lightweight design. Also an excellent choice as a second gi for warm training days or as a travel gi for seminars and training camps.

Care

The Ascend is pre-treated to resist colour fading. Wash the gi in cold water, separately from other colours on first use, and hang it to dry rather than using a tumble dryer. Avoid high temperatures to limit shrinkage and keep the material in top condition. Wash the gi after every training session to prevent bacterial growth and skin irritation – a golden rule in BJJ.

Colour options

Available in the three IBJJF-compliant colours: white, navy and black. Each colour has its own character, from classic white for the traditional BJJ look to bold navy and black for a more modern appearance.

With the Hayabusa Ascend Lightweight Jiu Jitsu Gi you're choosing a gi that brings competition-ready quality, durability and lightweight wearing comfort to the highest level. A reliable investment for every BJJ practitioner who wants to develop their technique seriously, on the mat and in competition.
