Iron Fist 05 Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 I'm ordering a karate uniform online, but the sizes are this: 0 I have no idea what this means. I'm a size 4 00 in the uniform that i have right now. Which 000 one whould I choose? "By the time I was fifteen, I became a white belt."
G95champ Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 There should be a sizing chart in the book or on the page you are looking at. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Iron Fist 05 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 lol thanks. i hould have known that -*smack*- "By the time I was fifteen, I became a white belt."
Pacificshore Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Just remember that 0000,000,00,0, and size 1 usually are for kids to pre-teen. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
SandanPJ Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Most of my 9 year olds wear 1. Sizes 2 and under are for children.
SaiFightsMS Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Take a good look at the size chart because the are sometimes very different for different brands of gi's. Most often a size chart will go by height and weight.
hobbitbob Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Even with a chart, you can go wrong. I wear a 5 1/2 in Shureido or Meijin, but a 6 in tokaido (remeber, christmas is coming! ). There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
SaiFightsMS Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Tokaido does seem to be sized for thinner people. It does seem that there are some brands that run bigger in the waist than others at the "same" size.
BKJ1216 Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Yeah man I've had a hard time with the size chart. So far i need to lose 40 pounds and grow a foot to fit in a size 8. White Belt- Shudokan Karate
hobbitbob Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Believe me, I understand. I have the "Naha-te" build (stocky, yet short arms and legs), therefore I always end up having to have sleeves and pant-legs shortened. According to my height (5'5") I should wear a 3!
