How to fit a Jiu Jitsu Gi with Superare Fight Goods' Dylan Lipari | Jiu Jitsu | Fighting 101 

I wish I had somewhere to go try on gis! Awesome

For your first gi, there are two strategies for most of us. Either you buy the one your gym recommends (costly), or you try to figure out what your size is and buy accordingly. Unfortunately, if your build is outside the norm, loads of people won't know enough to guide you, and your gym may not have your size. I'm 6'4" and recently re-crossed the 300# limit (going down this time). I wear a size A-6. Many companies don't make this size. Some don't even make A-5. My first gi purchase was an Elite A-5. The pants were so tight I could barely get into them, and I definitely couldn't move in them; I had to wear sweatpants instead for the first few weeks. The top fit...but not well. Arms were JUST loose enough to use, and the thing never went over the chest right. The belt from it fits OK, a little loose on me now :) I gave away the pants to one guy and after a few months, the jacket to another. Hoping to change the belt for a different colored one in a few months; maybe an A-4 size (I wear size 42 pants again; it's been just over 10 years since I could do that - pull the tape measure tight enough it's almost 40, so that's progress even if I'm still just a little bit over 290#). After rolling with a black belt, I got a black Fuji A-6. I figured it wouldn't show the blood so much. It's been about a year, and I still have it. Fuji seems to think that everyone wearing that size has an enormous gut and spindly little legs, but at least the chest and shoulders are big enough. I've lost enough weight that I can wear the pants without going commando, but it's still not the greatest fit. Luckily, there are companies that sell gi pants and some of them are a bit more baggy. Performance Fight Gear is the one I have bought those from and also shin guards and other things; everything from them seems simple but very solid, which I appreciate. I've got 6 gis now but I'm reluctant to try any major manufacturer anymore. The Fuji is getting a bit worn; I got one unbranded gi that was advertised as an A-7 but the armholes are tight (it's a problem I have a fair bit with other clothing) and the pants were flimsy and have ripped. Four gis are by Jaguar Pro Gear - they're the most comfortable ones I've ever worn so far...no idea how durable they are going to be in the long run though (which is one reason I have 4 hehe). Everyone loves Shoyoroll but they don't make anything in my size. Everyone loves Origin but I'm a little concerned about the fit of the pants, and $250 is a fair investment. Anyways, it's a little easier to find stuff now than last year, but still not the easiest of tasks.

awesome, a lot of useful information, thank you!

Great video!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this information. At the same time, it felt like I managed to go windowshopping with you guys.

Love the details! 👍👍

Cool store, knowledgeable dude 👍

An A1 jacket and A2 pants fit me the best. Out of the gis I've tried, the Superare (which I got today) and Fujis fit me the best.

3:15 I started three weeks ago with 1 gi and it's too heavy for warm nights, had to pick up a lighter second. Looking for #3 already 😅

Awesome

Very informative, but it would be helpful if we could see his legs and where the pant hem falls.

Hey man i just got my kimono today had to get it online, and i find the jacket a little to big, how do you shrink it a little ?

I get my gis tailored. I’m too broad for an A2, but an A3 fits a bit long, so I just get the sleeves shortened and pants hemmed.

I got my 29Niku GI and it's crazy

Online they never have options to pick different size between top and bottom . I am more A3H top and A1 bottom

What you think of gis made by orgin? Thanks

how do you size the belt?

We need a shop in Vancouver Canada

How do you determine belt length?

any tips for baggy gi pants but the length is fine

I got a gi from my gym, and yea it's too big. But that's all I can afford for now so it'll have to do.

is there a shrink time. so 10 minutes min. to 60 mins to max shrinkage. i don't want to buy a gi and have it shrink too small. thank you for your time and help

guys! hi, i'm in this awkward middle (1,94 with 81kgs) would you guys recommend an A3 or A4

How tall and how much does is this guy being fitted weight?

Hey, what’s your height and weight for our reference!

I would love to see a video comparing some if the really expensive Gis to the cheaper more affordable Gis. What are you really getting from that $200+ gi that you aren't getting from a $60 gi from Amazon. I'm new, been doing jiu jitsu for a month. I'm hooked and want to get a few Gis but not sure what's the best way to go about it.

Been trying to find where to get that jiu jitsu comics t shirt he has on. W here can one find that?

I have 115 kilograms I want to buy a Jiu Jitsu gi 'what kind of size do I have to buy help me

FUCK hanging to dry! Especially in the winter when its rainy and humid, it'll take a month to dry... How much oversize do I need to buy if I'm gonna wash and tumble dry it after every use?

10:57 - It seems you want to be this kind of "white belt" 🤣

I'm 6f 1 and 88kg looking at Tatami. Find the sizing really confusing

Hang dry vs no heat air tumble dry? Any reason not too?

I’m 5’11 160lb what size gi should I get?

I'm 5"8 155 pounds what would fit better a A1 or A2?

Is the guy in the beanie talking?

So no info on how to size your GI though? The majority of people will not be able to try them on. Most will be ordered over the internet. So how do you et the right size? I am short but wide. Most cloth4es i buy the pants are much too long if the waist fits me. I have broad shoulders and find a lot of t-shirts have sleeves that are a bit snug. So do i go for a bigger size then my height would suggest and then just get the legs re-hemmed?

I am 5, 8 215lbs 15% bf.. never find anything that fits . Arms are short but shoulders are big .. long torso short legs... took me a freaking A4 to fit shoulds .. about 4 inches too long on pants, and sleeves almost cover knuckles

Too much background Noise. I can’t make out half of what’s being said.

He looks like if Matt serea changed weight to lightweight

Wuestion to both: I feel like I train in a Gi thats slightly too big. How can I shrink it. I already washed it on 40 degrees after trainings.

Wonder what his weight and height are

Isn't that how you normally tie a belt?

i dunno my coach just throws me a a2 and i shut my mouth

What about women, with hips and bosoms?

Will the BJJ community get pissed off if someone wears a black gi instead of white for practice?

Everyone says that white is universally accepted and I'm still waiting for some weird horror story where the school doesn't accept white gi's.
