FAQs about Jiu Jitsu GI Size Chart
How do I determine my Jiu Jitsu GI size?
To find your Jiu Jitsu GI size, measure your height and weight, then compare these measurements to the size chart provided by the GI manufacturer. Most brands use a standardized sizing system (A0, A1, A2, etc.), but it’s always best to check their specific guidelines.
What if my measurements fall between two sizes?
If your measurements are between two sizes, it’s generally recommended to choose the larger size. This allows for better comfort and room for growth or adjustments. Remember, GIs often shrink a little after washing, so sizing up can prevent the GI from becoming too tight.
How much will a Jiu Jitsu GI shrink after washing?
Many Jiu Jitsu GIs are pre-shrunk, but they may still shrink slightly after washing. To minimize shrinkage, follow the care instructions on the label, typically involving cold water washes and air drying. If in doubt, consult the brand’s guidelines on shrinkage.
Are there differences in GI sizes between brands?
Yes, GI sizes can vary slightly between brands. Always refer to the specific size chart of the brand you are purchasing from, as their measurements might differ from others. Checking customer reviews can also provide insight into how a particular brand’s GI fits.
What should I do if I’m buying a GI for a child?
For children, use their height and weight measurements to select the appropriate size from the kid’s GI size chart. Many brands offer adjustable features to accommodate growth. It’s also helpful to check the brand’s recommendations for growing children.
