WolverineGuy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yeah, what they said. You want something that is going to last. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 On the one hand yes, you want something that's going to last. On the other, I prefer middle weight. It's a little more maneuverable, cheaper, and if you take care of it, it will last just as long.

Sainthood Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I would say it has more to do with what your comfortable with than it does your skill. Start of with a medium one and then if you are not comfortable with it after training get a lighter or heaver one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiliphil1 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 One other thing that I have not seen mentioned is that with heavyweight gi's, they fade over time. Washing takes the color out of the thick cotton and canvas, whereas a middle or lightweight gi will hold its color much better. All that said, I prefer the heavyweight.
