😍😍😍 one day...

Michael Phan lemme help you with that

@@t-wrecks6060 thanks t-wrecks!

Thank you!

sweet! didn't know they had a flea market for gis

The white/olive is a reg hyperfly. The black/mint is hyperlyte. I’m assuming this is the reason for different fit. Which sucks since the biggest difference between the two is weight. Thanks for the comment!

@@MichaelPhanBJJ oh that's interesting. I have the white/olive hyperlyte and it's tapered in the pants. I didn't know they made a regular hyperfly in white/olive.

😎👍🏻

I would get a gi that you like the fit of and then reassess later if you’ll need to get one of a smaller size.

I'd say get the A2

A2 for sure

I would go A2 per their size chart. Thanks for the question!

That’s a dope deal! Sucks that it shrunk. Thanks for the comment!

I haven’t seen them in person to speak much about them. From pictures online and descriptions, they’re supposed to be super soft and well made. Pictures alone, I’m not really feeling them but to each their own

Thanks for the insight man!

😂 ayyyeee thanks man! Appreciate it!

It depends on what brand you’re looking at and how you like the gi to fit. A2 would probably be a little baggy for you with most brands. Look for brands that offer L sizes for example A1L. If something like that is a good fit but a little long you can go down to A1. As far as specific brands go, depends on your budget. 93 brand is a solid gi that’s on the lower end price wise. Hyperfly makes great gis that are a little more expensive but the fit is on point. Hope this helps!

I know i'm 3 months late lol - but Kingz offers A1L size that fits me pretty well (5'8 160)

I am not familiar with that specific gi from Fuji. According to the small amount of research I did, I think you’d be good with a A2H with your measurements. According to their site the GI can shrink a little even though it’s preshrunk. As long as it hasn’t been used, you can exchange it for a different size if the A2H isn’t a good fit. Good luck!

@@MichaelPhanBJJ ok thank you ;)

A gi is a gi! Hope you’re training is going well. Thanks for the comment Rocky!

Have you tried on an A2 or A1? If you can, ask a training partner to try on theirs if they have the right size. I’m leaning towards A2 but I don’t want to steer you wrong

Yeah origin gis do get pricey. But they are made in USA and from my experience, feel great in terms of quality

Welcome! Thanks for the sub!

Yeah, it’s tough. Best thing to do is find someone in the gym that has the gi you want and try theirs on.

Yeah I think A0 will work for you

Hey Levon! I think the karate gi might be a little too thin for bjj. People will be tugging on the material a lot.

@@MichaelPhanBJJ Yes right,but what I mean that if I buy BJJ Gi would be possible to use high kick? Have you tried to lift your leg up? Or coz it is too thick (Fabric BJJ Gi) it can't be done? is it limiting in movement? Coz I want to use BJJ Gi for both Jiu Jitsu and Karate.

Ohhhh I see what you mean now lol sorry. I think the gi pants are a little restrictive when it comes to high kicks. They’re usually a little baggier. Knees might be ok

@@MichaelPhanBJJ Ok..now clear 🙂 Thanks!😉👍

The biggest difference between the two for me was how much softer the Sanabul was. The elite gi comes out the bag tough like it’s gonna rip skin when putting on a cross face. The elite pants are ripstop while sanabuls isn’t. Also, I feel sanabul was a more a tapered fit.

Im gonna try the sanabul gi next, your input is greatly appreciated @@MichaelPhanBJJ

hey jonathan! which one? bold or jj vs everybody?

Thanks Jose! I am 5’9 and 170 lbs. All gis were A2

Definitely want to check out those brands!

Love Kingz!

A2

Did you mean VHTS? I dig ‘em. A buddy of mine has one and it looks like it fits well! I’ll have to borrow it for a review 🤔🤔🤔

😂

What is your budget?

Michael Phan can’t spend more then 150 dollars

I would say check out the size chart of the brand you like. With that budget, you have a lot of options for a good gi. If your measurements are on the high end of a particular size, I say get the next size up to give room for shrinkage after you wash. If you’re in the middle or lower end of the size, get that size vs going down a size. Does that make sense? So, if you fall in the lower end of a size, for instance, A2 - get the A2 vs going down to an A1. Also, what I would do is email the brand of the gi you want and let them know your measurements. They’ll be able to suggest a size much better than I can. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!

Michael Phan Michael Phan Thanks, this help a lot so I went to the website and they had a size chart and I was able to get the one that had my size thanks a lot. by the way what color should I get for the gi i’m thinking on getting a blue one

Awesome man! Color is a personal choice. You can’t go wrong with blue, white or black. All safe!

In terms of training years - maybe 3-4. I’m a purple belt. I took a 4 year break after my first year of training.

@@MichaelPhanBJJ ok that makes sense i was like Damn his instructor hates him if he's trained that long

I think he did hate me lol jk he just never noticed when I did something right

If you can afford one try Origin brand expensive but high quality

It actually was shrunk accidentally before that tournament in the picture. When I initially got it it did fit perfectly, legal sleeve length and all

@@MichaelPhanBJJ ah i see. Did you put it in the dryer, or did it shrink just from washing? I have a gi that has borderline too short sleeves currently and I'm terrified of it shrinking. Do you have any tips to prevent shrinking, or even enlarging a gi? Thanks

Dryer. I can only recommend washing cold and hang dry to prevent shrinking.

@@MichaelPhanBJJ when you hang dry it, does it make a difference if you leave it out in the sun? Is it less likely to shrink if you don't leave it in direct sunlight, since it'll have less exposure to heat?

I think the sun would help dry the gi faster. Not sure about shrinking

I like Kingz. I’m actually going to do a video reviewing one of their gis. Not really a fan of hayabusa. It’s a little loud for me.

Michael Phan the only thing about Kingz is there so many , which one would you recommend ? I was looking the Kingz nano

I like the nano but I like the One gi better

haha thanks for watching!

Yeesh.

Thanks for the suggestion! I never would’ve thought of this. How do you pants end up turning out after tailors?

@@MichaelPhanBJJ They turned out great! I'm tall and lanky and my jacket sleeves usually touch my wrist bones. However, my pants always seem to be too long. I trip over them when standing unless I pull them up to my belly button. My professor suggested I get them tailored, as it would be a liability for competition. So I have ever since, the best $8 you'll ever spend.

Definitely gonna try this out! Thank you!

I’m sure there are nice cheaper gis out there. I just haven’t done my research as to which is best fitting. Only one I’ve come across was Sanabul. Thanks for the comment!

Michael Phan yea that Sanabul gi u showed the white with blue trim is pretty sweet actually. Would be a nice gi to get when someone is promoted to blue belt

Yeah most definitely. Can’t beat that price as well!

What brands are you looking at? If your height and weight are at the higher end of A3 I’d go A4 and shrink gi down to your liking. If it’s at the lower end, I’d go A3. Even if you feel your arms are lanky, go A3. Hope this helps!

Michael Phan doesn’t matter the brand for me, just comfort and mobility

I think it has something to do with tradition. I’m not sure 😅

@@MichaelPhanBJJ oh

Brazilians are really strict about gi color

🤘🏻😎

I looked into Origin after I rolled with someone who had one. The gi was ridiculously soft but also seemed super durable. The price was insane lol. I mean, I guess I can see it being priced so high because it’s made in the USA.

@@MichaelPhanBJJ I mean I still can't understand why it's 325 for a Gi. Made in America or not...that's shit is crazy expensive I got like 3 Fuji gi and a bag for the same price as 1 Rift Gi. 🤣🤣🤣

Lol yeah, it’s still a stupid amount for one gi.

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

i've never personally owned a venum gi but i've seen others who have them. they seem ok. do you have one?

@@MichaelPhanBJJ no i don’t have any , thanks man !!

✂️✂️✂️

i feel ya 100% grant!

I would go A3H according to their size chart

Had the koral gi for 8 years. I was a white belt for a year, took a 4 year break, came back and got my blue belt after about 6 months. 🤘🏻

What’s your weight? I would go by the size chart of the brand you want.

Michael Phan I am 11 and half stone. I currently have a size A3 I am unhappy with the fit so I am in the market for a new gi but don’t want to make the same mistake and get the wrong size I was thinking size A1.5 thanks for the reply

Yeah I wouldn’t go above A2. A1L if you’re lanky. Before buying, I would email the brand and give them your measurement. They’ll know which size would be best. Hope you find a good gi!

Michael Phan thanks buddy 👍

I’m not familiar with JJ so I can’t say. I believe they’re pretty much the same. As far as gi goes, I don’t see a problem wearing the same gi. Your instructor will tell you if you need a different gi. Haha I’ll keep that in mind the next time I see my barber. Thanks!

thanks gray!

i don't blame you

I do like some of the Moya gi's. Do you have any?

Depends on the brand but I’d most likely go with A2

Or A1L if they have it

😂

I’m always here

Never had venum gi but they’re still around so they’re doing something right

I have a scramble and a venum gi. They have a brand call Loyal. They are good and only cost $50.

I need to get my hands on an Origin gi to check it out. Do you have one? How do you like it?

@@MichaelPhanBJJ yeah I have several. They are the best quality one I have. They have different weaves and everything is made in the USA and they make everything from scratch themselves in Maine

Nice! I didn’t know they were made in Maine! Thanks for the comment!

We all get submitted. It just costs a little more to get submitted in a Shoyoroll gi

Very true

Lol god I hope so

@@MichaelPhanBJJ haha yeah man I entered a tournament not to long ago and they told me my gi was to small and I had to get a larger gi that almost looked like that lol

I would’ve bowed out of that tournament before putting a gi like that lol
