I'm a A2 in bjj gi. What is correct sizing proportionate to this gi? Shrink versus not shrink?

Hi Robert, I am not sure, but I think the sizes are identical even though I noticed that my judo gi is a little bigger than BJJ gi. Also the sleeves shrink a lot so I stopped using the dryer. Hope this helps

The sizes were proportional, meaning I got a size 3 and the belt was also a size 3. It was thin though, I remember the Gi being very thin and flimsy all around.. I didn't use the belt, I have one already, I tend to buy my belts a size bigger just in general, just as a rule. i like it to hang properly. If you're just starting out and not really sure if you want to continue martial arts I'd get it bc it's pretty cheap. However, be prepared to eventual buy another.

My gi is a 5/190 & fits me great. Sizes are based on height & weight, so be sure to check those 2 things in order to get the right size.

This is a BJJ gi. The sleeves are BJJ cut. The pants are similar to my other BJJ gis, Fuji for example.

I found that my height left me between sizes (a2-a3) as well. Frankly, both work, but if in doubt I would go with the larger size to prevent any chance of restricted movement, though you would also have more, and looser material to both choke and be choked with.

Brian G., I would definitely follow the size chart but if you're in between sizes, or unsure, just go with the bigger size. You can always shrink it to your customized size. To shrink your Gi, in the dryer, do it in 4-5 minute increments and try it on as you go. Once you get the final fit, air dry it. Personally,this is the only time I use a dryer for my Gis as I just hang them and let them air dry. Good luck!

I would choose the Large. I am 32x34 and I chose the Large/Long. But I wear a drop leg holster and drop leg mag pouches which tend to make my pant legs rise a bit. I love these pants.

Yes you would still want to order a size one Gi based on your son's height. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.SteveThe Martial Arts Store(770) 441-9946

Pending on your size, I weight 230 lbs and bought the X-large and that is way to big. But the medium is just shy of fighting. I currently wear a large in my class. I was able to string the x-large belt in the back so it's not a big deal but we have some pretty large ladies in the class and the large seems to fit them all. If you would like to talk further about this simply e-mail and we can connect. I had more weight in the stomach then on top so I needed to make sure it fit around the waist. And the large fits great. If you are over 300 lbs. I would get the x-large. I was once over 300 and the x-large still was a little big. I hope this helps. My e-mail is: joshua1.9niv@yahoo.com feel free to contact me. I hope this helps. Kim

I think the small would fit you best. I bought the medium when I was heavier than I am now (I was between the 2 sizes so I went with the medium) After losing weight, I am close to your size: 28" waist, 35" hip. The medium is huge on me. I've had to take it in in 4 places (luckily I sew), but the tucks have made it bulky. I agree with the others who posted, it IS a great back belt, I can do almost everything I did before my injury when I wear it. And BTW - they all fit best when standing and get snug when you sit down, that's the trade-off for good support. Good luck!

Judo gi's run bigger than other martial art gi's in general. I'm 5'4" and I was swimming in a small, so a small should fit someone of your height well.

Hi, I bought a size A3 for my husband. He weighed at 175 at the time. It depends if you want a snug fit. For me, I hang dried. If you prefer to dry in the dryer, a slightly bigger size might be suitable for you. Hope this helps!

I am a lot heavier than you so I selected the 2xl for me. I think a lrg size will fit you best. Hope it helps!

Get the large. I was at the end of the range for medium and beginning of the range for large, and I ordered the medium. They fit and I wish I had gotten the large so they had more room and I could wear handwraps inside.

We have a guy who is 5'7", 135 in our gym. He got an A1, and it's about right. Definitely don't get an A2; I'm 5'10", 165, and while it fits me, there's still room to go.

When I began I was 6'2" and 223lbs . I purchased this Gi in A5 and had to shrink the top immediately. However an A4 was slightly snug but in hindsight would have been a good fit. Currently at 6'2" and 195 an A4 fits very well. (I still wear my A5 and the pants are pretty big on me, top is Loose even after shrinking ) I would say u could go A4 and shrink it or A3 possibly (might get snug after first wash) : if this is your fighting weight I may get an A4. Sounds like with that height/wight u may be thick so in that case I would stay with an A4 you will probably need to hem your pants.

The 000 is your best choice. It may still be a little big, but the GI definitely shrinks when washed.
