You serious? That's nothing. We both have full walk in closets and besides, that's the basement where I hang them. As I live in Massachusetts for now, I currently have 3 of them here which are not pictured. :D

It took me years to be in my shoes bro;) tons of hard work and even to the point of having my family go through some rough times of me not being around.

I LOVE ATAMA hands down bro; I'm old school. I use heavy gi's(typically weigh about 5--6lbs but even more when you drench them in sweat after rolling for 2hrs straight)when on the mat for practice; summer or winter. For summer you need to be careful though because it's easily to pass out from dehydration from so much sweat; been there done that.


Not a pain to wash, but you don't want to use your best washing machine because they're known to fuck them up. We have Samsung front load HE washer dryers and I kept the old school washer(the one with knobs and shit)...I use that one for washing my stuff, shoes, dirty old rags etc...But I do dry them in our regular dryer.

Some I hang dry and some I put in dryer. I have three I use ONLY for comps. You ALWAYS want to take at least 2 of them with you. They can rip(which is almost impossible, but happens)sometimes you're GI is not within regulations(i.e too short on sleeves/pants)or your patches are in a location they should not be; yes I know that sounds stupid.

But IBJJF has different rules than NAGA or other comps when it comes to your GI. I know someone who has more than 15 of them, no lie....It becomes an obsession...Just think of it like jeans or regular clothing.

I sometimes roll better with certains ones than others. But it's cool to have quite a few. :)

Koral makes really good stuff for stocky people like me. Atama just makes a really good all around GI...SOOOOO many companies out there right now it's actually pretty pathetic.
