Some Frequently Asked Questions
What size BJJ GI Pants do I need?
Answer: When sizing your BJJ pants/trousers you would follow the above size chart the same way you would for a full GI. Your GI size and pant size are one and the same.
What BJJ GI size am I? / What size BJJ GI do I need?
Answer: Your BJJ GI size is the size that best matches both your height and weight. For most people, this will be straight forward but for those that it’s not, if you contact us with your height and weight, we will help you choose the best size for your GI.
Should I buy a size up from the recommended size when buying a BJJ gi?
Answer: The simple answer is no. You should choose the size that best matches your height and weight. People used to choose a size up as a lot of the older GIs used to shrink massively, which today, is not the case. The only reason that you would choose a size up nowadays is if you wanted to shrink a GI to fit, which in most cases would prove difficult seeing as most GIs are now made from pearl weave which hardly shrinks. If you want a GI to shrink, choose one made from a single or goldweave.
How do you know if your GI is too big?
Answer: The first thing I would say is to check the size chart and make sure your height and weight match the size your GI is on the size chart. After this, sizing is more of a personal thing. Some people prefer their GIs closer and tighter fitting to the body, short sleeves and trousers whereas others prefer a baggier fit with long sleeves and trousers. It’s finding the type of fit that’s right for you. I would say that if the GI feels good on you and you feel comfortable in it when rolling, then I would say you have the right size.

How long should BJJ Gi sleeves be?
Answer: The IBJJF say that the sleeves should come to no more than 5 cm from the athlete’s wrist when the arm is extended straight parallel to the ground but for a general fit the sleeves should sit somewhere between your wrist and halfway up your hand. If the sleeves are in this area, you are golden.
