Ronin BrandRonin Medium Weight Karate GI Middleweight Martial Arts Karate Uniform - 9.5 oz Cotton, White Belt Included

I am 6’0 and 198 lbs. per the size chart, I’d be a size 5 or 6. I initially ordered the 5 thinking I was already going a bit smaller, but I was still swimming in it. The size 4 is perfect, and I don’t have twig legs either. Out of caution I have only washed cold and line-dried, though there still looks to be a tad bit of room in the pants to shrink. The gi top however is snug (but still not tight) as-is and therefore don’t want it to get any smaller. If you are a similar height/weight as me, I’d highly recommend the 4. The pants hit just at the ankle, no need to tailor or roll them up, just be mindful not to shrink. These are a bit warm for summer classes but not too heavy, just an overall solid and quality gi that has kept up with all of the rolls etc. that I throw at it. Highly recommend, just be mindful of sizing.

I practice Kenpo, we use black karate gis. I have been through several gis, KD Elite, Macho, Pro Force, but I have to say, this gi fits better and is way more comfortable than any of those gis, although I really did like the KD Elite, but they quit making them!Anyway, this gi has a better fit than KD Elite, the jacket is longer which I like very much. Right out of the bag, this gi fit me pretty much perfectly. I do have to hike the pants up and tie them off above my bellybutton, but I am sure with a washing or two, they will shrink to perfect size. I am 6' 00" and weigh 175 lbs. The gi would fit easily fit someone 10 lbs lighter and probably 25 lbs heavier than I am. There is plenty of room in the pants for high kicks and strectching, but they don't look ridiculously baggy like some uniforms, this uniform has a nice cut that looks very good, right out of the package you will love it! I am very happy with the gi, it is the perfect weight, I really wouldn't want it any heavier for the hot weather and high humidity we get down here in Florida. It is perfectly light enough, and it breathes very nice. After reading some of the comments, I was expecting to have to alter the pants to fit, but they fit perfectly as does the jacket. Normally I wear a 35" waist and 31" length with my pants if that will help give an indication of my build. I am tall and slim, the pants are maybe an inch or two long, but I pull them up and tie them, and I am sure after the first wash, they will shrink down a bit to the perfect size. Even if they don't, the are fine the length they are. The uniform comes with a white belt, but I use my blue one that I earned from my Sensei, working on my green belt now in style in my new Ronin gi. It is very sharp looking, roomy and comfortable, and breathes really nice in keeps you cool during workouts. I love it, I am going to buy more of them in the future!

Uniform fit well. If you're a martial artist, then you know how sizing on these things can be all over the place. I followed the size chart and the uniform fit as expected. It is nice and soft, but isn't anywhere close to 9.5oz. I have an 8oz uniform that feels as thick or thicker than this. I'm going to keep it and see how it holds up, but if you're looking for a heavier weight uniform, keep looking!

I wear this for karate (Matsubayashi) and the fit is great. I love the length and weight of the gi. It’s got weight without being heavy or burdensome for katas and offers a good “snap”. I wore it for my most recent belt test to see how it would hold up under pressure and was not disappointed. I plan to purchase another one in white.

Well worth the purchase. I went with size 6, but I can use size 5. I am 5'11 and 250 pounds, husky athletic, and not obese. I bought a size 5 and 6. Size 5 is perfect, but I wear the size 6 for now. I did dry the size 6 to help shrink it down some. I roll the pant legs up a bit. I have a longer upper torso and shorter legs. So I help this helps others in determining size fitting.

It literally exceeded my expectations! I have enjoyed this Gi. HIGHLY recommend it and I am going to purchase another one; different color.

I bought this Gi in a size 3 for my 12 year old son. He is 5' & 125lbs. It was huge when it arrived so I was a little nervous but with past experience I know Gi's shrink after a few washes. I washed and dried it Twice and it fits nicely. The arms do not need to be rolled and the pants only need to be rolled once or twice. It's a very nice material, it seems durable and he likes the length of the top.

Let me just preface this review by saying I am brand new to martial arts. I have been taking my son to lessons for a couple years and decided to try it for myself. This is my first uniform.I really like the top of this uniform It is comfortable, doesn’t slip down, and looks perfect with a light t-shirt or tank top underneath, which is all you’d want.However, I can’t wear the pants. There is such a large top area between the groin and the waist, and then the drawstring hits at my widest point. That means while I’m practicing, the pants start slipping... and become difficult to manage as I can’t really get to fix them while keeping the top on.I ended up buying Elastic-waist black scrub pants as a replacement, because as a beginner I am not too worried about the “snap” sound, but I am very concerned about keeping my pants up!

Sehr gute Qualität. Auch für Würfe stabil genug. Gut geschnitten. Nur in Japan besseren Gi erhalten.
