Gameness Air Lightweight Jiu Jitsu Gi



I am 6'4 and my weight ranges from 190 to 200 depending on training and diet. I got this in an A5 and it fits well. I only hang dry and it has not shrunk from its original size. Feels very light while wearing but has been very sturdy even in heavy training. One belt loop came undone, but other than that it has lasted a year with very little sign of wear. When you are doing heavy training and drenched in sweat you'll be glad to have this gi. My heavy weight gi feels like a chain holding me down on those days. I find it harder and harder to wear that heavy weight gi on very hot days or heavy training sessions.

Very happy with the price, fit, and wear.

Keiko Raca White Limited Edition Special Gi



Wait a mintute...

A3 5'10" - 6'1" which is a 3 inch variable
but
A4 5'11" - 6'7" has an 8 inch variable?

Something isn't right.

This is the size chart I found
Size Chart
Size Height ft./cm. Weight lbs./kg.
A1 5' 3" - 5' 6" / 160 - 170 165 lbs / 75 kg
A2 5' 6" - 5' 9" / 170 - 180 187 lbs / 85 kg
A3 5' 10" - 6' 3" / 180 - 190 209 lbs / 95 kg
A4 6' 3" - 6' 6" / 190 - 200 242 lbs / 110 kg
A5 6' 5" - 6' 8" / 200 - 215 308 lbs / 140 kg

Vulkan Ultra Light BJJ Gi



6'4 long arms and legs, but a lean 190. Sounds like an A4 is that right? I'd rather have a slimmer fit with the A3 but if there is a big difference in the arm / leg length that would be important. If its a 1/4 inch no big deal, if its an inch or 2, big deal.

Also does anyone have any comparison to the the Vulcan Pro light compared to the Ultra light? According to the web site "uses a special Honey Comb Weave and Rubber Lapel that makes it light, durable and fast drying". The pro light starts at 2.8 pounds and the ultra light starts at 2.4 pounds.

Reviews I have read had people liking the pro more than the ultra light. Also spoke about both gis stretching during practice but regaining shape after being washed.

Gameness Air Lightweight Jiu Jitsu Gi



Double post - but need some feed back

I heard that the Air Gameness shrinks enough that you should buy a size up to allow for the shrinkage.I also heard the white had significantly more shrinkage than the blue.

I'm 6'4 and 200 lbs. My height puts me at the top of the sizing chart for an A5. Most gi's leave me enough width to fit another person but if they shrink the length turns them into a short sleeve shirt and shorts.

With an A5 am I going to be wearing a fat mans shorts after it shrinks? What is the average shrinkage? Has the Gameness changed the gi to address the shrinkage at all? Does the blue still shrink less

Reevo Kimura Gi



6'4 with long arms but a lean 200 lbs. I have a feeling I could fit two of me in the A6 but that the A5 would be just a bit short, especially with a little shrinkage.

Anyone have experience with the A5 - A6? I don't need another gi that ends up looking like I out grew it and is not competition legal, but I have no desire to have a gi built for two.

Submission Fight Co Light Gi

That was a horrible review. If possible I think I now know LESS about the gi than before reading it. Compare it to several other gis, talk more about the feel while rolling. get your partners to describe how it felt to grip the gi, discuss the shrinkage from normal washing,.... what I am saying is actually review the gi.

Yes, if you go to http://www.martialartssupplies.com and pay $130 dollars you can do that. No, if you want to buy it here.

Black Fuji Summerweight BJJ Gi

There are about 100 guys to every female in BJJ. Women are great at BJJ, just don't have as many participating. Why not have a female on rolling deals day and get it over with in one shot instead of several days of female gear spread over several weeks? Easier for the women to see all the possible gear for them, less time that the site is dead for the majority of the shoppers.

If that rashguard was any more pink, you would get sued by the Pink Power Randger and the Pink Panther. Here is a photo of someone wearing that rash guard ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Venum Challenger 2.0 Black Gi

Chances of you gaining 5lbs in the next two years and the gi shrinking even 1/4 of an inch says you should pass. Not worth the risk.

Thats the spirit. Instead of giving to those in need blow your cash on something absolutely unnecessary just so that for a couple of weeks you can yell look at me. Merry Christmas, God bless us, each and everyone.
