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

My husband normally wears a med and I ordered a med and it fit him just a tad baggy so that way if it shrank in the wash he can still wear it. :) so I would say go his size or one size up for shrinking purposes. Good luck! I am really really happy with my husbands!

Unless you want shrinkage I suggest you never machine dry a heavy gi. I was told that if you what slight shrinkage you can take the gi out mid way, I tried this and while I could still wear that gi the shrinkage was more that I wanted.

Probably best to go with a 6. If it's big at first it's perfect on the count that to gi shrinks a good deal after being washed.

Use the chart on their site. For a very snug supportive fit (short term workout), go one size smaller.

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.

Sounds like the medium will probably be a good fit for you then. I have medium and usually wear 31x32 depending on the style. It fits well with just a little room after several days wear. But has a form fit right out of the washer/dryer. I love em!

I have a large -- it's more room than you'd need. I'd go with the medium, like Sergio says. :)

I am 6'1" and weigh 200 pounds. I bought the A4 and it is huge on me. It fits like a judo gi and the cuffs are past my wrists even after washing and drying in HOT over 5 times! When rolling with the A4 my opponent is always trying to choke me out using my own gi. I am buying an A2 or A3 and returning the A4.

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!

No worries.....fits like a glove. If you have a 'mature' figure, it's good to use shorts/pants and belt a size larger. Use a good stiff 'gunbelt' not a dress or everyday belt. Just my $.02 worth.

I'm looking for an answer to this as well. I'm 5'10" and 185lb. Most of the people answering questions here are in the 170lb range. I have a Fuji gi and the A4 top fits just right, but the A4 pants are kind of loose. Everyone here seems to think the pants run large, so what I would really like is to get an A4 top and, maybe, A3 pants. I wonder if anyone sells like that.

A2 should be the right size. A3 legs may be too long...you could always wash with hot water and put it in the dryer to shrink it down.

Go with the bigger size. You can always adjust it a size down, but you cant adjust it a size up. Plus its good to leave room for gains!

I wear a size XL t-shirt and the size 6 judo top fit well with enough room for practice and randori. Pants were snug but I didn't need them. I wear pants size 40w x 34L.

I would go with the medium. The belt feels pretty true to size and since the belt has to be pretty tight to work anyway, there shouldn't be any problems. I'm concerned that the large would put you out of the adjustment range and wouldn't work well for what the belt was intended for.

Pellinore,I would recommend a size large based on the weight. Please note that the uniform will need to be hemmed because of your height. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.SteveThe Martial Arts Store(770) 441-9946
