**Help with Gi Sizing for first time buyer** (www.mmamuscle.com)

Starbury · 08-30-2006, 03:06 AM

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 emailed mmamuscle.com through their site yesterday morning but havent got an awnser as of yet... still waiting.

i was also told that ATAMA Gi's are more suited for skinny lanky guy's like myself....is this true?

I believe Ron has mentioned that HCK allows you to order different pant and top sizes, if you're interested. I'm not 100% positive that it was HCK, but it was definitely one of the major brands.

I told you that.

Atamas seem a little too tight across the shoulders and chest for me. HCK, Koral, and Gameness fit me better with HCK fitting me best. However, there are some tall, lanky guys in my gym and Atamas fit them like a glove.

I spoke with the guys at Gameness on this one,

I would go with an A4 size in the Platinum Weave. It will shrink just a bit after the wash and should be fine. For a belt, definately go with the A3.

You should order a HCK or an Ouano mix and match gi. They are only a little more $ but you will get a much better fit then ordering a standard size gi that will be way to long for you.
