If you practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, you know how important it is to have a well-fitting Gi. A Gi too big or too small can affect your performance, comfort, and safety on the mats. But how do you find the right size for your Gi? Reading a BJJ Gi size chart seems straightforward, but it can be a hassle if you do not understand the nuances. 

That is where this article comes into play.  

How Do I know my BJJ GI size?

What is my BJJ Gi Size?

You should know that BJJ Gi sizes are not standardized across brands. Each brand’s size chart may vary depending on the Gi’s model, cut, and material.

Some brands offer more options than others, such as half sizes, long sizes, short sizes, or slim-fit sizes.

Therefore, the best way to know your BJJ Gi size is to refer to the specific size chart of the brand and model you are interested in. You can usually find the size chart on the product page or the brand’s website. If not, you can contact the brand’s customer service and ask for it.

However, before you look at the size chart, you must know how to measure yourself or your existing Gi. This will help you compare your measurements with the size chart and find the closest match.

BJJ Gi Size Charts

As mentioned, each brand has its own size chart and sizing system. However, most brands use a similar format for their size charts. They usually consist of a letter and a number (e.g., A1, A2, A3, etc.), where the letter indicates who the Gi is for (A for adult men, F for adult women, M for adult unisex, K for kids), and the number indicates how big or small the Gi is.

Some brands also use additional letters to indicate variations in height or weight (e.g., A1L for long, A1H for heavy) or fit (e.g., A1F for fitted). These variations are not always available for every model or brand, so check the size chart carefully.

Here are some examples of BJJ Gi size charts from different brands:

Fuji

[amazon link=”B00GIHW30Y” title=”Fuji” /] offer high-quality Gis that are pre-shrunk and durable. Their size chart is simple and easy to follow. They only use A and F letters for adult men and women, respectively, and K for kids. Fuji Kimonos also offers half sizes (e.g., A2.5) for some models.
