Great Gi!
I've been needing a 2nd gi for quite some time. I read all the reviews on the Fuji gi and decided to give it a try. I went to the Fuji Sports website to review the sizing chart. I'm 247lbs, 5'10" and have a 36/28 waist so I fell between the A4 & A5 sizes. I also looked at a new belt since my current one was a bit too short (120 inches - Honor Athletics - size A6) and decided on the Fuji A5 (138 inches) belt : Fuji BJJ Belts .I go by the standard of my belt is one size larger than my gi, so I ordered the A4 Fuji Gi. Upon arrival, I tried it on... the pants fit very well, slightly long... quite roomy and soft. The jackets fit was roomy, fit well on shoulders, not tight in my armpits, allowed full motion. The sleeves were just about right, about a 1/2 inch too long. I know all gi's shrink a bit after washing but I still wasn't sure. I decided to contact Fuji Sports customer service ([email protected]) in reference to my dilemma. To my surprise, they responded to my email within 30 minutes! They stated that with a cold wash and hang dry the gi would shrink approximately 1 in maximum... that if I thought that would be too much, they recommended I get the A5 size and to shrink it to fit.After trying the gi again, I figured that the 1 inch would be perfect so I decided to stay with the A4 size. I found the gi's quality to live up to the reviews... solid construction and very soft. I will be rolling with it next week and will update my review after some time.**UPDATE**July 24, 2013**After training with this gi, I found the jacket to be a bit snug around my waist... working on losing the gut :) The pants were still a bit long after washing them but I didn't want to put them in the dryer since the jacket would also shrink. I will keep this gi for future use once I drop a few inches. I ended up ordering a 2nd Fuji Victory gi, size A5 this time... the jacket is larger thus fits much better. I've already washed and dried in the dryer 2 times and its still too big... the sleeves are just past my hands and the pants are still too long. I'm taking it to my tailor to have the patches sewn on and do the required adjustments.As far as training with the gi goes, I have nothing but praise for the quality and workmanship of the Fuji Victory series. Very soft and strong, looks good and I see it holding up well.

Finally a "fat man" sized Gi. I am 6'-2" & 280 and Very Happy with this size A6 Gi.
I am 48 and just getting into Mixed Martial Arts. I am 6' - 2" and weigh 280-ish with a sizable gut, (mainly from too much soda) and I have had a horrible time finding a quality Gi that fits well. On my journey to lose weight and get back some mobility I have cut out most sugar snacks and all soda. I have purchased Gi from other companies in the largest size that they offered... A5, but nothing would fit. Fuji offers a size A6 that fits really well. The Sleeves are just a tad bit long, but the length of the pants is perfect. The material is good quality and seems very durable.I really like that the logo is NOT splashed, huge, all over everything. I like the clean "adult" look of the Gi. I personally think it has a professional look about it. If at some point I want to add patches or embroidery, this Gi offers lots of clean space to customize it as I like.Since Fuji was there for me, as I start out - an over weight beginner, I will stick with them down the line after I lose the extra weight and get into shape. Brand Loyalty, and Word of Mouth advertising is something I can do for Fuji, and it is something that other companies like Sanabul & Elite Sports NEED to realize. After returning the Gi from Elite Sports because the A5 was way too small, Elite Sports told me that they do not have any thing for someone my size, and are not planning to any time soon. So the gear bag and sparing gear that I found on Amazon from Elite Sports, to go with the Gi I had purchased from them, will be deleted from my watch list. That stuff will now be purchased from Fuji, along with all the gear for my Daughter and Grandson.

Good quality
This gi is definitely good quality. It is durable and comfortable. However, if you are a beginner, I would rather buy 3 cheaper gis so that I don't have to wash my expensive gi so often.

Not the best for the Short and Skinny out of the box! (Must shrink in washer/dryer).
This is a review specifically for people who consider themselves short and skinny. (Size A1)The picture is me wearing it right out of box, which is why it is big.Pros:-Great material for the price you pay.-Pants waist fit perfect (the waist is adjustable so it fits even my small size 27 waist)-Pants length are teeny bit long right out the box, but they become the perfect size after 1 or 2 hot washes (depending on how short you want). I am 5' 4". After 1 hot wash + dry, the pant length fits perfect.Cons:-Shoulders are big on the jacket. Unless you got broad shoulders or are a big/fat/muscular guy, then it's okay. However, I am a very skinny ectomorph (110 pounds). The shoulders are big so the jacket scrunches up and looks weird when you tie your belt around.-The arms are a little long. Us short people have shorter arms. The sleeves come to about anywhere from the crevice between thumb and index finger, to where your 4 fingers, excluding thumb start. After 2 hot washes and 2 hot drys, the arm length did shrink about an inch.-Arms are baggy-Pant draw strings and belt loop are mediocre. Pants often slide off/down because of this.Ultimately, I can't return this since I washed and dried, but if I could reverse time, I'd buy an Elite Sports Gi because it is about the same price as a white Fuji gi, and from what I've read from reviews, the sizing is very good for short people (slimmer fit).In conclusion, this gi is a great first time gi! Just not the best for short skinny people out the box. Remember, I'm very small and skinny, disregard my review if you are normal weight and height.UPDATE: After over 6 hot washes and Hot dries, the fit has improved, so I have added another star. It fits almost perfect now. Still a teeny bit big, but it will only continue to shrink and fit me better and better as time goes on. I have stopped washing hot and switched to cold and tumble low dry.

Buen producto de larga duración a buen precio
El paquete llego 3 días antes de lo esperado. Llego completo y limpio en talla y color como pedí. El pantalón del gi es bastante amplio, mucha libertad para moverse. La tela es más lisa que la de mi otro gi (Kingz) y los orificios de las piernas son 2 dedos más amplios (antes de lavarlo). La chaqueta: Solapa firme y muy resistente, tela fuerte y reforzada en los puntos clave (no tan pesada como pensaba) cómoda. Igual viene un poco grande, entonces, no hay problema, si se encoje.Mido 1.66 metros y peso 60 kg, soy musculosa y de hombros anchas y caderas chicas para mujer. Creo para mujeres con hombros chicos, tal vez la chaqueta es muy grande. El pantalón queda igual si tienes cadera y pompis grandes. Para mujeres muy delgadas sería muy amplio el pantalón. Si tienes piernas muy largas, sería corto el pantalón.Soy cinturón azul, es mi 2. Gi y espero poder entrenar con el muchos años. Vivo en un clima templado, fresco, por eso la tela fuerte no molesta.

サイズもちょうどよく丈夫です。
12年ほど柔術をやっているので、何着も買ってきているのですが、丈夫でサイズ感も良いです。個人的にシンプルなのも良く、今後も買い続けると思います。
