BKJ1216 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Well I'm a rather large person. I was wondering if the dojo I select is going to have weight restrictions. And even more important if I can find a gi that fits my fat ass. Is there a big and tall store that sels gis? lol White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKJ1216 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 If there isn't a big and tall store for karate then it looks like I'm gonna have to make a custom fitted one. I shoudl probably ask my instructor because he is a pretty big guy. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKJ1216 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Alright I'm 5'8" 280 my jeans are 44x32 so I guess I have a 44 inch waist. Is there any size that fits that? White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKJ1216 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Well I think size 4 would fit best only problem is that I'm about 100 pounds too much for it it's waist is 31-45 or something like that and the heigh is 5'5"-5'8" the only problem is that the wieght is only to 170.

ZeRo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 i very much doubt there is a weight restriction at dojos, everyone should be able to learn. and yeah im pretty sure you'll be able to get a gi in your size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKJ1216 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Well so far size 4 and 5 are the best matches. How important is the weight factor? I mean what does it control on the gi? Is it about tearing it or how tight it will be or what? White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeRo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 i dont think weight will effect the size of your gi, only size/hieght will effect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
