Question about Gi sizes *Help* (www.mmamuscle.com)

Starbury · 08-29-2006, 05:53 PM

so i've been doin no-gi since that start of summer, and now i need a Gi because we got a gi program started.

and im looking into purchasing the Gameness Platinum Weave Gi

and was wondering what size i should get since im a lanky 6'2" and 155 pounds

my height falls into A-4 but my weight is A-2..... should i go with A-3 or will the pants be too short for me???

and since my weight falls under A-2, should i get an A-2 belt or get a belt the same size as my Gi?

thanks for the help in advance

I use Gameness too. With your mix of height and weight you are most likely going to need to have your Gi altered. Buy for your height and get the Gi altered. I can't see any other choice other than a custom made Gi.

ps - Gameness rules.

Oh, I forgot. Just buy your regular A2 or A3 belt.

Atamas seem to fit tall, lanky guys better.

Gameness, HCK, and Koral seem to fit stockier guys and/or guys with more girth.

My 2 cents.

Go check out the G&E forum here. There are a lot of guys who know their stuff about gis there.

yah i have to agree with ame. if the pants end up being a little short, don't sweat it, everyone's pants are a little short
