Judo Gi Sizing

1. The first and most important aspect is the size of the gi. You should choose a gi that fits your body type and height. A judo gi that is too small can restrict movement during training, while a gi that is too big can act as a distraction and potentially pose a safety hazard during matches.

2. The jacket should fit comfortably, with no excessive bunching or pulling in any areas. The sleeves should come down to the wrist bone, and the collar should fit snugly, but not too tight around the neck.

3. The pants should fit snugly around the waist, with the length of the pants coming down to the ankle.

4. Belts should be tied tightly, but not so tight that they restrict breathing or movement.
