Hey, i'm going to buy a GI but i'm unsure what size i should buy. I'm 181-183cm tall and weight around 70kg. I'm looking to buy ATAMA: NEW LIGHT KIMONO GI. I'm very small and pretty tall. I have long legs and arms, so i wonder if A2 will be to short? I'm going to compete with it aswell, and i'm pretty small over the chest. Will A3 work if i try shrink it or will it be to big? I know there is many other brands out there but i really like atama, so please help. I'm planning to get some more weight aswell, but always takes time
i think the a3 is going to be massive on you at only 155lbs. but since you're about my height (6feet), you may need the length. If this is your first gi, i think the new light from Atama may not be your best choice due to the price. What you really need is an A2 slim cut gi.

So i guess A2 is my way to go then. The price for the atama is no problem, since i train MMA i'm sure i'm going to stay with the BJJ class. You think i can have a A3 and shrink it? I train 5 days a week so hoping to get some bigger around my chest
