Sizing
A5 Gi Size: Height, Weight and Who It Fits
Updated
Short answer: A5 fits 196–203 cm (6'5"–6'8") and 113–122 kg (249–269 lb). A plain A-size, no cut applied. It is the largest size we cut, and the end of the chart.
A5 against its neighbours
| Size | Cut | Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| A5 | Standard | 196–203 cm | 113–122 kg |
| A4 | Standard | 188–196 cm | 102–113 kg |
How to know it's you
A5 is the end of the chart. If it is still short in the sleeve or tight across the chest, there is no bigger size to step to and the answer is a gi cut to your measurements.
Is A5 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 | A5 | A4 |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket wingspan | 192 cm | 186 cm |
| Jacket length | 92 cm | 90 cm |
| Jacket chest | 72 cm | 68 cm |
| Trouser length | 114 cm | 110 cm |
| Trouser waist | 66 cm | 62 cm |
If A5 is not quite it
A4 is the only step available in this cut. 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 A5 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.
