6 Reasons Why Female Grapplers Choose Gaidama
Summary: Finding the right gear in combat sports can be challenging, especially for female athletes. The perfect women’s grappling and martial arts apparel balances performance, fit, and coverage, and maybe most importantly - looks good on us. Enter Gaidama, the brand revolutionizing women’s training gear. Here’s why Gaidama stands out as the ultimate choice for women who train hard and demand the best.
1. Designed by Women, for Women
Kendall Vernon first stepped onto the Jiu Jitsu mats in 2015 and immediately spotted a problem: women's grappling gear was an afterthought.
Kendall leveraged her skills in garment design and passion for engineering to create gear tailored specifically for female athletes. Gaidama was born.
The name Gaidama is a combination of the Basque word “Gai” and the Spanish word “dama.” In short, Gaidama means “women with the power to face and overcome.”
At its core, Gaidama is all about creating gear that gives female BJJ practitioners the confidence & functionality to perform at their very best - and look good doing it.
2. Built for Performance—Not Just Looks
Many brands prioritize aesthetics over functionality, leaving female athletes with gear that doesn't meet their training needs.
Gaidama prioritizes both. Gaidama's designs focus on providing coverage, comfort, and durability, ensuring that athletes can concentrate on their performance without distractions.
Whether you're on the mats, lifting, or sparring, their gear is engineered to enhance your overall experience, in a flattering and functional way.

3. Uncompromising Quality
Durability is crucial in training apparel, and Gaidama doesn’t compromise. You can feel the difference in their fabrics as soon as you touch them. They are stronger, softer, and stretchier than other brands, with a silky smooth hand feel - the perfect material for grappling sports.
Furthermore, the compressive nature of their signature fabrics promotes blood flow and supports dynamic movement. Totally squat-proof spats and shorts (thanks to their innovative built-in liners) means nothing is see-through. Finally, their cutting edge moisture-wicking technology keeps you dry while the reinforced stitching provides for long-lasting wear.
4. A Design For Everybody
Not just high-performance – Gaidama is where function meets fashion. With 100+ unique designs across their collection, they've mastered both minimalism and maximalism to match your personal style.
Dive into their world of psychedelic dreamscapes and futuristic graphics across spats, gis, rashguards, singlets, and shorts. More of a minimalist? Opt for the clean simplicity of their signature Ninja Suit collection.
Gaidama continuously partners with cutting-edge artists to create apparel that performs as impressively as it looks – because why choose between standing out and showing up?
