Sizing
A0F Gi Size: Height, Weight and Who It Fits
Updated
Short answer: A0F fits 152–163 cm (5'0"–5'4") and 45–57 kg (99–126 lb). It is the Fitted cut of A0: the trimmer cut — same lengths, less room through the body.
Against a plain A0 it is -4 cm jacket chest, -8 cm trouser waist. Everything else is identical to A0: jacket wingspan, jacket length, trouser length.

How to know it's you
If gis hang off you — shoulder seams past your shoulders, a jacket you can wrap a long way across — you have been buying for your height and ignoring your build. That is what A0F fixes.
Is A0F you?
Two numbers and we’ll tell you straight, including when the answer is a different size.
The finished gi, measured flat
Wingspan is cuff to cuff, jacket length is collar to hem, chest is laid flat. These are the numbers the size is cut to, not an estimate from the chart.
| Measurement | A0F | A0 | A0W | A00F | A1F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacket wingspan | 150 cm | 150 cm | — | 142 cm | 162 cm |
| Jacket length | 71 cm | 71 cm | — | 67 cm | 76 cm |
| Jacket chest | 44 cm | 48 cm | — | 42 cm | 48 cm |
| Trouser length | 92 cm | 92 cm | — | 88 cm | 94 cm |
| Trouser waist | 42 cm | 50 cm | — | 40 cm | 50 cm |
If A0F is not quite it
Step down to A00F or up to A1F if the band is wrong on weight. If the problem is that one half of you is a different size from the other, order it that way: a jacket in one size and trousers in another is a normal order here. It is the option we ship most after the plain A-sizes, which tells you how many people the standard grid does not fit.
And if no combination on the chart works, custom sizing is $189 and is cut to your measurements.
Is A0F IBJJF legal?
Size has nothing to do with legality, but fit does. The IBJJF measures sleeve and trouser length against your wrist and ankle with the arm extended, and a gi that is too short fails at weigh-in. The full requirements cover colour, fabric and the measurement rules.
