How to Fold a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GI

Everyone who likes to take part in the art of Jiu Jitsu wants to have the ability to fold a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi. The gi is referring to the clothes that you wear when you are practicing the art of Jiu Jitsu. The procedure is very easy to do, and once you get the hang of it then you too will be able to fold your gi with ease.

Directions

• The first step is to lay your gi garment on the floor as flat as possible making sure that it is spread out with no bunches.


• Next work with your gi pants by folding them in half in a symmetrical position on the floor. Next, you need to fold your pants, starting with the left side and then the right side on top. When you are done, it will look like three layers.


• After you are done with the gi pants place them on the chest area of your gi top, making sure that they are centered.


• Now you will need to fold your sleeve to your left shoulder, fold the side again until the shoulder meets at the end of your gi pants.


• Proceed to do the same step to the opposite side making sure that the gi top is meeting with the pants.


• Finally, you will need to fold the bottom of the gi over the top side.

When you are done with these steps, you should have your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi nicely folded and ready to be carried out of the gym. It is best to practice this at home until you have the procedure learned before trying it in the gym. It should not take you very long to learn the process and you will be pleased that you did.
