I’m 42 years old and I’ve been training BJJ for 15 years in San Diego, CA. Go Padres! I have a black belt, and I can’t believe it every time those words come out of my mouth. I love everything about this damn sport.

Do you have cauliflower ear ? I want to do bjj but don’t want it
I do. Its unavoidable but you can manage it
If ur ear puffs up u can drain it for me it took like a week for the little blood bubble to harden
@@Ualtwis it still worth it to train ?
Do you take the animal pack all at once in a day? Or do you take 1 serving in the morning and another before training?
All at once like a Gangster
Cool shit 🤙🏽
Appreciate you brother
Hey, keep up the great reviews.
Thanks, brother. I'm working on some more now.
Appreciate that brother! Seriously. It means a lot.
Excellent review. Would love to know how you have gi sleeves shortened by a tailor and wonder if it has it compromised gi?
I have a tailor here in town who has been working on gis for a long time. I know her and trust the quality of her work, but I don't know yet if it has long term down sides.
Sorry to hear about your dog, we have a senior dog he’s 16 years old and blind his son is our baby peanut. Also, Congratulations on your black belt.
Thank you on both comments. I hope you get another 50 years with your pups.
@ that would be one of my wishes to have our dogs live a longer life, I also got my Purple belt early March this year after bagging double golds in Gi and no gi in 4 Competitions.
@@Bagwiscampers Congrats! If you make it purple, you'll make it black.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim thanks, if you happen to travel and visit The Philippines come by our city, Cebu and welcome to train at your small gym.
Can you review the Hyperfly Hyperlite gi? The one in Matrix Green on black the same as what keanu Reeves wore during his training for John wick.
I've been working on Hyperfly but haven't gotten them to respond yet. Will keep trying. Thank you for the comments.
@ thanks for replying, I’ve ordered 3 Hyperfly gis 2 Hyperlite (green on black & red on black) and 1 starlite in Teal on black. I liked the Hyperlite’s soft texture and weave, it’s soft unlike the usual stiff textured gis that I’ve worn, it’s close to Fuji Suparaito but a bit on the softer textured side.
@@Bagwiscampers Hell yeah, brother. I have a lot of friends who love Hyperfly, and it's a San Diego-based company, so I want to work with them.
Im usually an A3h or A4. The size chart said im an A5. Most A5s are super big on me. I ordered an A4 nano pearl comp. Hopefully, it works out ok.
I think it will fit at A4, brother. I've had a lot of comments that people are buying the size they normally get and it fits. Either way, they take good care of you from a customer service standpoint. Let me know how it fits.
Received the black DEF gi and white Comp gi today - while the FLX PRO pants are absolutely perfect, both A3L gi jackets are unfortunately too large. The sleeves are too long/broad and the shoulder/chest section is as well. I've reached out to Origin to ask for an exchange, probably going A2L instead. But other than this sad realization, the material and quality is absolutely top notch. I can't wait to get the right size gi jackets.
Its bonkers how nice these Gis are but I get it brother. The back and forth on exchanging sucks.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrimindeed. But their customer support is ace and helping me very quickly. Other sizes are on their way. Jocko would say: "GOOD. DELAYED GRATIFICATION." 😂
Hey man! I'm currently debating buying this gi and your video has been super helpful.. Got one question for you.. has it shrunk at all since you've bought it? I'm 5'8" and 175lbs, debating between an A1 and A2 top.
NO shrinking whatsoever
Brah just get a2 and wash tf out of it
I'll give that a shot
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim I do A2W and wash n dry on hot … shrinks up perfect
Hey! Hope you're doing well. After a year, how do you think their gi's hold up? I want to order their DEF gi and reached out to their customer support - great people and very helpful. I'm 6'2", about 191 - 195 lbs, and their new webapp sizing guide tells I'm an A2 but their normal size chart tells me I'm an A3L. Customer support also advised me to go with A3L but seeing both your Origin videos I might want to go for an A3 instead. Other Gi's I own are also A3 and their sleeves would be perfect when new, but become a little too short after some shrinkage. Unfortunately I live in the Netherlands and can't just go and visit Origin to try them on ... which would be amazing. Anyways, hope to get the right size when eventually ordering one.
Its been amazing. Sturdy, easy to keep clean and to be totally honest, I feel like my Jitz improves when I wear it. I know they were working on their sizing issues because they’d heard the feedback from a lot of people. I think you should take whatever they're recommending and tailor it if its too long. Let me know how it goes!
And remember, they don't shrink
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim yep - thanks for the quick reply! Once I have it, I'll definitely let you know. Cheers man, have a good week.
No doubt, brother.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim Heya! Placed an order for a white comp gi and a black DEF gi yesterday. Gi jackets both A3L (Christina at Origin helped me with all the measurements, really awesome customer service as well), both with a white and black FLX pro pants, inseam 30 inch/long. It's already been shipped and expecting it next Tuesday. Can't wait! I'll reply here with my opinion. So stoked.
After a year, how’s it holding up?
Absolute beast of a gi. No issues whatsoever - so high quality
Did the pants shrink or fit better ?.. @@Jiujitsu.pilgrim
What's your height and weight roughly? What about your model in the b roll? presumably he isn't also wearing a a1?
I'm 5’6 170. Micah is 6’1 190
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim thanks for the info! What size was Micah wearing?
A2
It's pAra bellum since it's in Latin. Literally meaning "for war", shortened from si vis pacem, para bellum (if you want peace, prepare for war).
Thanks for the pro tip
Would say your buddies gi is a tad on the small size. Go na get in trouble getting cleared in comps. A2l should be his fit :)
Yeah he's got the horrible problem of being absolutely jacked
Datsusara Hemp Gis for the win
Is that a brand?
What she did you start mate I’m 25 but feel to old
I was 26 when I started but I took a lot of breaks. Probably 4 years worth of breaks. Don't make my mistakes
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim is it worth the injuries ?
@@curtiskarner2190 There aren't any real injuries. Injuries are possible, but rare, and recovery is usually manageable.
I started at 59. Don't make my mistake.
Congrats on your black belt! And sorry for your dog. I bought the 2 pack of both black and d white but u can’t use them pant run super big ? Did you experienced the same ? Greetings from panama Central America
Thank you for the well wishes and for watching my video. Yes. I experienced the same. Put only the pants in the dryer twice and they should shrink down nicely. That’s what worked for me
I'm sorry for your loss man. Thanks for the vid. I need a summer gi year round in my gym. Luckily our we have some good lightweight gym logo gis, but I'm putting this one on my radar as could use another. The white on black mix has a very karate look to it.
Much appreciated. Where are you training?
I'm in Arkansas, the gym is Veneration Jiu-Jitsu. I'm a (43 yo) white belt there only about 10 months.
Awesome brother. Enjoy the journey!
Congrats on the black belt! Digging the black gi, super clean
Thanks!
congratulation on the black belt and sorry about your dog
Thank you, brother 🙏🏽
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim I’ve been waiting for someone to do the review on the gi before I get it and thanks. Ur welcome anytime
Awesome. Hopefully you found it useful.
They look great! Good fit too. I have the Jiu Jitsu Globetrotters travel gi for summer rolls, which is basically the same gi. It just got too short overtime and they don't make Long sizes like an A2L or A3L - hence I think I'll switch to Shoyoroll gi's, and an Origin gi in the future.
P.S. I should not have skipped through the video - sorry about your loss first of all and second, congrats on the black belt!!
Thanks for the info. Question - were you putting the gi in the dryer or hang drying? Trying to understand the shrink situation.
Much appreciated. That dog meant the world to us.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim always hang drying - I don't own a dryer. I just think I once washed it too hot or it shrunk over the years. I'm 6'2" with a normal physique, so size 3 tends to be or become a little too short for me over time. The Ground Force blue label gi I got some time ago after seeing your video is really great, A3 - but also the pant legs are already too short. The jacket itself doesn't really shrink.
Great feedback. Thank you. I feel the urge to wash on hot once in a while. I want to scorch any bacteria out of it! But, A1 fits me perfect if it doesn’t shrink
I dig the mix n match white & black!
Me too!
yep! looks cool.
It’s retro
Got my eyes on their upcoming gi's. Thanks for the review. I do see your video is mirrored ;)
Looks too weird when its not mirrored
Factor in origin shipping. It’s wild! The yellowing on my Origin gi is nuts! Worst gi I own.
No shit? Which gi and how long have you had it?
How long is shipping to receive
Took about two weeks from order submit to arrival.
You said A1 is a perfect fit for you. What's your height/weight? Did you ever dry it? I'm always inbetween an A1 or A2.
5’6 170 lbs. If I dry the gi it will shrink and my heart will break. Don't put it in the dryer
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim thanks! I’m 5’8 175, do you think A1 would fit me?
Yes sir
Appreciate the info..just ordered a Path Gi and went one size down..I’m an odd size apparently at 5’9’’ and 215 lbs so ordered an A3 and looking forward to seeing how it fits.
Let me know how you like it, brother.
How did it fit? 5-7 190 here. Chart says A3.
I really want to know as well
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim my gi gets here Saturday. I’ll let you know how it fits.
Thanks brother
What about the rvca gi from the rvca website is it the same as shoyoroll?
Rvca does collabs with Shoyoroll once in a while. If it says shoyoroll in the name, yes, it's Shoyoroll and that's a great gi.
Hello would you recommend the A0,A1, or A1L for 5’8 154 lbs?
Shoyoroll or Kingz?
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim for both
A1L for both
I’m 5’9 160 lbs, my A1L shoyoroll fit perfect out the box but got shrunk in the wash and now fits a bit snug. Ordered my new Kingz “One” gi at A2. Hoping it shrinks down to perfect fit but I’m worried it might be too big. Holding thumbs
I think you have a good plan.
Why aren’t you a black belt yet?
Hahaha! Because I suck, dude.
That is the Competitor 21.9 or the Clementine Competitor
Thanks, Marco. Its a thing of beauty!
So I don’t own a Shoyoroll or an Origin Gi. What should be my next pickup?
Why you ask me such a difficult question!?! In my opinion, Style and fit are superior with shoyoroll. Origin is superior in build quality in that their Gis don't shrink. Origin’s materials are like space suits - high tech. Shoyoroll will feel more traditional, which I like.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim I have always just used some Fuji, kingz or gameness. I know i know..I haven’t branched out much in the last 12 years of training but I figured it’s probably time. I have just stuck with what I know I like in the past. Feeling at home is nice but I’ve been seeing a lot of hype around Origin and have saw a good amount of people trying them out in my area. Maybe I’ll just grab both 😅😂
You sound like me, brother
I would get a Shoyoroll as a home gi and Original as away. If you travel for seminars or comps you can wash a dry and Origin and be ready next day.
Good call
If you posted weekly this channel would pop off.
Damn - appreciate that. Going to try to get more out
Hi there been following. you for a while now. Id like to make you a custom gi and see what you think of it. Please let me know how to contact you.
Thank you, brother. Please email me at jiu-jitsu.pilgrim@gmail.com
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim Email keeps bouncing back. Am I missing something?
Sorry about that. Auto correct hit me. Its jiujitsu.pilgrim@gmail.com. No dash.
Nice video! I’m from the health and wellness space and I just started my Jiu Jitsu journey this year at the age of 29. I found your videos from just searching for “Origin Gi reviews”. Keep them coming. Would support and share your videos if you keep them coming!
Keep making videos man! I will keep supporting
Needed this. Thanks, brother.
Fuji for the win. Expect the jump from a3L to a4 is kinda ridiculous. A3.5L would be perfect for me at 6’4” 235lbs
Never owned a Fuji but I'm going to change that
I think I’m goin to get one, thanks for the reviews. Love that they’re making them in Europe.

I tried a butt load of gis and always go back to fujis they just fit my body type best
I get that. I feel the same about shoyoroll. They have the right cut for my body type.
Did the Kingz ripstop pants shrink or just the jacket?
Just the jacket
The reason Original doesn’t shrink is the same reason it pulls, it’s made of polyester. Also look at all that gathering and pulling around your armhole on the original gi.
Also Origin looks like it weaves its own fabric. They are prob using America cotton (maybe mixed with poly) if so, American cotton is of lower quality only because it’s too costly here to add all processes that make cotton premium. Short cotton fibers that are “open end” and aren’t ringspun will pill like crazy.
Thanks for the pro details. I take it you’re not an Original fan?
What processes make it premium? I’ve never been a fan of cotton in general.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim I make custom bespoke Gis by hand, made to fit for each individual. th-cam.com/video/bJANX1-TjLg/w-d-xo.html
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim fabric is made by weaving yarn together. Yarn is made by spinning fibers together. Fibers are picked off a cotton pant. That raw fiber is rough and has a lot of debris in it... If that raw unfiltered fiber, is spun in to yarn, that yarn will produce sub premium fabric... On the other hand Premium fabric is made by removing the debris, and then combing the fiber to filter all particles so that you're left with smooth soft small fibers of cotton. That make much better quality and pure fabric.
Hello sir, I am on a quest to make the best BJJ apparel out there. I have nothing planned. But, with time I will deliver. Nice feedback on the videos! I'll take it into account.
Awesome. Let me know when I can review something.
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim Will do
Oss
Wait, so what size was your friend's black apache gi he was wearing? Cuz I'm about his same size.
We’re both wearing A2
@@Jiujitsu.pilgrim Awesome. Thanks!
For sure. Let me know how you like yours.
have you tied an a1 yet?
Not yet. Looking forward to it though.
what height and weight are you? I want to buy one of these. I am 5 foot 6 175 lbs. I have fuji all around in size A1 and the pants are fine and the top is ok but its a little short to my liking. Just wondering what size I might like in these two options
You and I are almost exact same measurements. I’m 5’6 and 175 in this video.
Great review! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
