Adult Gi Size Guide
How a gi fits you is all about personal preference. In reality, if a gi is a bit too big, it's not the end of the world as it will shrink over time, and it can be tailored to fit like a glove. however, if it's too tight for you where it hinders your movement, then your shit out of luck unless you want to bring it to a tailor and have them add fabric to the areas that are too tight. I personally feel a baggier gi makes you better as it makes it easier for training partners to grip you. Then, if you enter a competition, you put on a slimmer fitting gi that is still within the rules to dominate the division :). We'll continue posting photos of people of different body types trying out gis locally at our office and posting how they felt about each size to give you a better feel of how our size chart might fit on you.
SHORT STOCKY GUYS
- Small was tight in the shoulders and hips he said if he needed a snug gi for a competition he might buy this size and use it brand new unwashed as it would be harder for opponents to grab but as a daily training gi it would be too tight and most likely wouldn't fit after shrinkage
- The medium was the best fit out of the box; sleeves would shrink down perfectly
- Large was a bit long, but after shrinkage, it could work for him
- BXL was long and baggy, but he did say he'd shrink it, and if it needed to be hemmed, he would be happy with it
AVERAGE ATHLETIC GUYS
- Small was to tight in the shoulders, and after shrinkage would be to small but out of it looks good
- the medium fit perfectly out of the box but maybe after a year of shrinkage he felt it might be too short in the sleeves for his liking
- Large was big and baggy, but he felt after trying to shrink it down it should fit like the medium so we went with the large
TALL LANKY GUYS
- Medium fit well but the length was a bit on the short side
- Medium Tall was the best fit and after shrinkage, would still be good
- The Large was on the baggy side, but the length was good
- Large Tall was just way too big, lengthwise after shrinkage it would be fine but he preferred the MT and the large over this size
TALL ATHLETIC GUYS
- Out of the box Large fit good maybe over time it would shrink a bit more than he preferred
- Large Tall fit perfectly and there was room for shrinkage
- XL/A4 is the size that has always been his go-to size for the past decade and a half just for the length. however, after shaping up and cutting 30plus pounds of fat from around his gut and making a feeble attempt at getting jacked (his words), all his fits XL/A4 gis are on the baggy side and the LT is going to be his new go-to size.
STRENGTH ATHLETE GUYS
- 2XL felt fine maybe a bit tight in the shoulders and also a bit long
- B2XL felt good, and he wanted to buy this size cause out of the box, he liked the shorter sleeve length and skirt, but I suggested he try the B3XL
- After trying on the B3XL, which was a bit long in the sleeve but gave more room to move, especially after shrinkage.
Please review the size chart and photos carefully before placing your order. When in doubt, go one size up; I always say it's easier to shrink a gi down than bring it to a tailor to add fabric to make it bigger.

- Gorilla Fight Gear gis are preshrunk. However, this does not mean your gi will not shrink. Expected shrinkage can be 5-10% in the sleeve length over time when washed in hot water and dried in the dryer, depending on the fabric weave. Pearl weaves, for example, tend to shrink less than gold weaves.
- We recommend cold wash and hand dry, and never use harsh chemicals like bleach.
- If your height and weight fall into different categories, we always recommend you go for the larger of the 2 sizes.
- There are outliers in this case. If you are 5'4" (Small/A1) and 320 lbs (B3XL), I might suggest you go one extra size up in the weight column. In this example, you'd be an S or BXL in height but a B3XL in weight. Because B3XLs are made for people 8-10" taller, they may be too tight on you, so you should go one size up to the B4XL to be safe.
Ah, the rise and fall (and rise again?) of gold weave in the world of BJJ fashion! Picture this: about a decade ago, gold weave was all the rage. It was the Beyoncé of gi fabrics – everyone wanted a piece of that golden goodness. But then, along came pearl weave, strutting its stuff like the new kid on the block, and suddenly, gold weave was yesterday’s news.
Now, if you’re a seasoned jiu-jitsu connoisseur, you probably remember the days of rocking a gold weave gi with pride. But if you’re a newbie who just stepped onto the mats in the past few years, chances are you’ve never even heard of this mythical fabric.
But hold onto your grappling shorts, because guess what? Gold weave is making a comeback! It’s like the ’90s fashion trends resurfacing – only this time, it’s in the world of martial arts gear.
So, what’s the deal with gold weave? Well, for starters, it’s like wearing a cloud made of marshmallows. Okay, maybe not that soft, but close! The looser weave makes it feel airy and breezy, perfect for those intense rolling sessions where you’re sweating like a waterfall.
And durability? Don’t even get me started. A gold weave gi is like the Energizer Bunny – it keeps going and going. It’s tough yet lightweight, so you can pull off those crazy flying submissions without feeling weighed down.
Now, let’s talk about the aging process. No, we’re not discussing fine wine; we’re talking about gis. A well-worn gold weave gi is like slipping into your favorite pair of pajamas – comfy, cozy, and oh-so-familiar.
But let’s be real here – gold weave isn’t winning any beauty contests. It’s kinda like that kitchen towel you’ve had since forever – functional, but not exactly a fashion statement.
So, there you have it – the saga of gold weave, from its glory days to its revival. Who knows, maybe one day it’ll be back in the spotlight, strutting its stuff like a jiu-jitsu fashion icon once again!

It’s way better quality than my submission sniper, bad breed or tatami ones. And I won’t have to mess around with alterations as it fits perfectly. Thanks for making gis for big guys and service mate, it’s seriously appreciated.
Tim (verified owner) –
Gi got to me quickly, I tried it on and it seems to fit perfectly! My coach said everything was fine – and I rolled with it two days ago! Need another now!
Jamieson Berkmortel (verified owner) –
Size chart worked great for BXL. Excellent quality gi and very comfortable. Very fast shipping. Thank you!
Bryce Davis (verified owner) –
Imagine your most comfortable gi… then imagine your favorite pajamas/sweatpants/robe whatever… this is both. I promise you, you don’t own a rolling gi this comfy unless you have one of these.
Very light, breathable, not restricted or boxy/stiff around the shoulders like most bjj/judo gi’s, which I personally find them to be uncomfortable. Not sure who’s idea it was to make the gi pants fasten with a drawstring (like sweatpants) as opposed to the typical tie string through loops etc but they are a genius! I’ll never go back!
Super easy to do business with as well, ordered a 2xl gi but requested an xl pants size after purchasing the order (6’0″ about 250lbs I wear 36×32 so I was afraid 2xl pants would be too big). Knew I’d have to shrink the gi a bit so i was not shocked to find the set a little on the larger side. Always easier to shrink than the opposite, I wish most would follow suit like this company. Like a mouthguard, you should follow the correct steps for it to suit your preference and needs, fits great afterwards! They even threw in an EXTRA PAIR OF PANTS in case I preferred the larger ones instead AND upgraded the shipping. Love these guys, nobody else/no other site/business would do this for their customers like these guys do.
I don’t normally write reviews but I felt compelled to because this has actually helped me to improve. Hope this helps someone in making a decision. ?

Chris (verified owner) –
I’m 5’7 and weigh 225 (athletic build) and Gorilla Fight Gears BXL is the sizing I’ve been looking for. I went through several different brands (A3 and A4s) and it was either too small or too big.
I’m grateful of this brand and the "in between" sizing that is provided.
Billie White (verified owner) –

jake stevanus (verified owner) –
Amazing gi a medium was a bit big on me 5-7 162lbs but it will work might try small next time . it is the most comfortable to I’ve ever worn
Nick (verified owner) –
This is the best GI! As a big guy it is hard to find something I like. This GI is very comfortable.
John (verified owner) –
These gi’s are pretty much indestructible! I have purchased this gi about 2+ years now barely a stitch has come loose. The B3XL fits perfectly at 6’ 300 lbs, the extra room in the shoulders is awesome! I own several of Gorilla Fight Gear gi’s and will continue to buy from this business. Highly recommend for big guys looking for the right fitting gi.
Mark Chatterley (verified owner) –
I’m 6’5" and 210. I have extra long legs and arms and this Gi is the best fit I have ever found. I purchased the TL and I am very pleased. I love the fact that the pants are stretch waist with a draw string. The jacket is very durable and most of my coaches all remarked how much they liked it. The pants are soft and very pliable. I do worry about the durability not being rip stop, but so far they have held up to some serious rolling without incident. My worry may be misplaced because the pants have had no issues even when I roll with guys 300+ lbs and they are not gentle. I’ll be buying another set soon!
