Best BJJ Gear for Kids: Comfortable and Durable Options

23 Feb 2025

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the best martial arts for kids. It helps in teaching them discipline, confidence, self-defense and physical fitness. Whether your child is just starting or has been training for a while, having the right BJJ gear is crucial. It is essential for their comfort, safety, and performance.

At Novakik BJJ, we understand that parents want durable, high-quality, and comfortable gear for their young warriors. This guide will walk you through the best BJJ gear for kids. It will focus on comfortable, long-lasting, and competition-approved options.

1- Why Choosing the Right BJJ Gear for Kids Matters

BJJ is a high-contact sport, and having the right gear can make a huge difference in a child's training experience. Here’s why you should invest in high-quality BJJ gear for kids:

  • Comfort: Kids need gear that allows them to move freely without discomfort.
  • Durability: BJJ involves constant pulling and rolling, so gear must withstand heavy use.
  • Safety: The right gear prevents injuries and keeps kids protected.
  • IBJJF-Approved Gear: If your child competes, they need tournament-legal uniforms.
  • Confidence Boost: Well-fitted, stylish gear helps kids feel confident on the mats.

Let’s dive into the must-have BJJ gear for kids and how to choose the best options!

2- Best BJJ Gi for Kids – Comfortable & Durable Choices

A BJJ Gi (kimono) is the most important piece of gear for kids training in traditional Gi Jiu-Jitsu. The best kids’ BJJ Gis should be lightweight, breathable, and durable.

Features of a Good Kids’ BJJ Gi:

  • Lightweight Fabric (250-450 GSM) – Keeps kids comfortable without restricting movement.
  • Reinforced Stitching – Ensures durability, preventing tears from intense training.
  • Pre-Shrunk Material – Prevents excessive shrinking after washing.
  • Soft Collar & Cuffs – Avoids irritation and improves comfort.
  • IBJJF-Approved Options – Required for official competitions.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Kids Gi – Lightweight, durable, and designed for young practitioners, offering a perfect balance of comfort and strength.

Pro Tip: Look for a fit-to-grow design, meaning the Gi has extra room for kids to grow into.

3- Best BJJ Belts for Kids – Recognizing Their Progress

BJJ belts symbolize a child’s progress and achievement in the sport. Kids' BJJ belt ranks differ from adults, with more colored stripes to encourage motivation.

What to Look for in a Kids’ BJJ Belt:

  • Durable Cotton Material – Lasts through years of training.
  • Strong Stitching – Prevents fraying and wear.
  • IBJJF-Compliant Belts – If competing, make sure the belt meets regulations.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Kids Belt – Made with high-quality cotton and designed to last through rigorous training.

Pro Tip: Ensure your child’s belt size matches their Gi size for a proper fit.

4- Best No-Gi BJJ Gear for Kids (Rash Guards & Shorts)

For kids training in No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, rash guards and shorts replace the Gi. High-quality compression gear helps with movement, breathability, and durability.

Best Rash Guards for Kids:

  • Compression Fit – Helps with blood circulation and muscle support.
  • Moisture-Wicking Fabric – Keeps kids dry and comfortable.
  • IBJJF-Ranked Options – For competitions, ensure the rash guard matches belt rank.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Kids Rash Guard – Made with breathable, high-stretch fabric. Thus offering comfort and durability.

Best BJJ Shorts for Kids:

  • Stretchable & Durable – Allows for unrestricted movement.
  • Velcro or Drawstring Waistband – Ensures a snug fit.
  • No Pockets or Zippers – Prevents fingers from getting caught.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Kids No-Gi Shorts – Designed with reinforced stitching and flexible material for ultimate comfort.

Pro Tip: No-Gi gear should be tight-fitting but not restrictive. Hence allowing maximum mobility.

5- Best Protective Gear for Kids in BJJ

BJJ is generally safe. But having extra protection can prevent minor injuries and keep kids training longer.

Must-Have Protective Gear:

  • Mouthguard – Protects teeth and gums during sparring.
  • Finger Tape – Helps prevent joint strain from gripping the Gi.
  • Knee & Elbow Pads – Adds cushioning for kids with sensitive joints.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Kids Mouthguard & Finger Tape – Essential for protecting young athletes from minor injuries.

Pro Tip: If your child has braces, invest in a custom-fit mouthguard for better protection.

6- Best BJJ Gym Bags for Kids – Keep Gear Organized

A good gym bag helps kids carry their gear to and from training with ease.

What to Look for in a Kids’ BJJ Gym Bag:

  • Spacious Compartments – Keeps Gis, belts, rash guards, and water bottles separate.
  • Ventilation – Prevents gear from smelling bad.
  • Lightweight Design – Easy for kids to carry.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Kids Gear Bag – Spacious, durable, and designed specifically for young BJJ athletes.

Pro Tip: Teach kids to air out their Gis after training to prevent odors and bacteria buildup.

7- IBJJF Competition-Approved BJJ Gear for Kids

If your child competes, make sure their gear meets IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) rules.

IBJJF-Approved Kids’ Gear Includes:

  • Gis in White, Blue, or Black Only – Other colors are not allowed in competitions.
  • Properly Sized Gi & Belt – Loose or overly tight Gis can lead to disqualification.
  • Ranked Rash Guards for No-Gi – Must match the child’s belt color.

Top Pick: Novakik BJJ Competition Gi for Kids – IBJJF-approved and designed for young competitors.

Pro Tip: Always check competition rules before purchasing gear to ensure your child meets all uniform requirements.
