Brazilian jiu-jitsu in Estonia
Täna (24.01.21) sai brasiilia jiu-jitsu pruuni vöö Tom Mäenurm, kelle põnevat lugu saab lugeda siit. Võimalik, et lisaks Instagrami story’le ilmub lähiajal ka pikem postitus (ilmuski!) mõnes Estum jiu-jitsu kanalis, mis seda toredat sündmust kokku võtab. Palju õnne igatahes!
Vööpuu andmetel, mis ilmselt ei ole kõige täpsemad, on Eestis 13 pruuni vööga jitsikat.
Ettevalmistused IBJJF Euroopa Meistrivõistlusteks täies hoos.
Täna (laupäev, 22.01.22) Soomes, Jyväskyläs toimunud lukumaadluse* võistlusel Jyväskylä No-Gi Open Round Robin osalenud Alistamise Akadeemia klubi sportlased naasid 5 medaliga. Kokku osales võistlusel 34 sportlast Soomest, Venemaalt ja Eestist.
Alistamise Akadeemia on Tartus tegutsev brasiilia jiu-jitsu klubi, mis avati 2020. a. sügisel.

Naljakas aga ma ei ole seda postitust hakanud kirjutama lihtsalt selle pärast, et ma ei tea, kuidas inimesed seda Google’ist otsivad 😀 Mida otsivad Google’ist inimesed, kes soovivad näiteks kaugelt täisealisena alustada võitlusspordiga?
Loomulikult tahaks, et näiteks inimene, kes otsib “judo trennid”, “karate trennid”, “enesekaitse trennid” vms, siis leiaks hoopis Brasiilia jiu-jitsu ja tuleks trenni. Märksõnade analüüs ei anna kahjuks eriti millelegi otsingumahtu.
See on lihtsalt üks väga laid-back video. Alates 4:00 annab aimu, mis üks tavaline jiu-jitsu trenn on. Tommy Lilleskog Langaker on lahe mees, kes on päris palju saavutanud jitsis.
Estum jiu-jitsu algkursus (Tondil) on samuti kogu aeg uutele tulijatele avatud. 2x nädalas, hind 60 eurot kuus. Kursusel pole kindlat algust ega lõppu – teemad on pidevas ringluses.
Brazilian Top Team algkursus algab 5. aprillil 2022. Vaata lähemalt siit.
Vabavõitlusklubis RAMM toimuvad niisamuti lukumaadluse algkursused.
Kui sul on küsimusi seoses jiu-jitsuga alustamisega, siis jäta kommentaar ja saan ehk vastatud 🙂
Kui sa oled UFC fänn, siis siin hea video, kuidas UFC Champion Israel Adesanya matil toimetab. Tal on brasiilia jiu-jitsu lilla vöö ja see video ka päris hea, kuidas ta selle sai.
Just a Starpro gi with Ippon Gear logos on it?
TL;DR: I am 178 cm, ~70 kg and Ippon Gear Rookie size A2 BJJ gi is the only gi that fits well so far. Tatami Absolute Nova A2 is huge/baggy and Progress Academy A1L is just short. See more about BJJ gi sizing…
At the beginning of the year, Ippon Gear Brazilian jiu-jitsu gis appeared in our local fightwear shop. Usually, only Tatami gis have been available and also Starpro to fill the most affordable end. Ippon has been well known for its judo kimonos so this caught my attention.
Ippon Gear gis seem quite affordable. The jacket, pants and white belt are just 79 euros altogether.
Alternative options for beginner uniform would be Tatami Absolute, Kingz Kore, Kingz The One (105 euros) that also have white belt included. If you are convenient with ordering from the UK then Valor has couple of models with belt included (Bravura and Bravura Classic model) and Progress as well.
I have seen their blue and white Ippon Gear Rookie gi in the gym. They are a great fit, have nice fabric and nice cut. They have a very minimalistic design with just little logos on pants and jacket. This gi comes with a free white belt which makes it an even better deal. So initially looked like worth buying. I have ordered the black one and looking forward to wearing it.
I have worn only Tatami Absolute gi so far. So the first impressions with Ippon Gear Rookie were a bit… surprising… and disappointing.
Jacket is just 60% cotton, 40% polyester, fabric density 350g/m². Feels semi decent and thinner when compared to Tatami which is 100% cotton and feels really good. Both are pearl weave.
Pants 52% polyester, 48% cotton, fabric density 220 g/m². Feel is like regular thin cloth, cheap, fragile. Nothing like Tatami’s 10oz (283.5 g/m²) cotton tapered pants.
For some reason labels inside the jacket and pants have Starpro logo on them. So it at least Ippon Gear Rookie gi seems like it is just Starpro gi with Ippon Gear logos embroidered on it.
This gi actually has pretty good fit and decent feel on the mat. I am 178 cm, 68 kg and wearing A2. I belive I can recommend this gi.
