BJJ Gi Size Guide — Ronin USA

Finding the right gi size matters for both comfort and performance. A well-fitted gi allows full range of motion while giving your opponent less loose fabric to grip. This guide covers the Ronin USA sizes we stock: A2, A2L, and A3.

Available Sizes

Size Height Weight
A2 167–180 cm (5’6”–5’11”) 75–86 kg (165–190 lbs)
A2L 180–191 cm (5’11”–6’3”) 75–88 kg (165–195 lbs)
A3 180–188 cm (5’11”–6’2”) 86–102 kg (190–225 lbs)

How to Choose Your Size

A2 vs A2L

Both sizes are designed for similar body weights. The difference is height and arm length. A2L adds length to the sleeves and jacket body — if you are taller than 180 cm or have longer arms, A2L will give you a better fit at the wrists and ankles. If you are between 167 and 180 cm, A2 is the standard choice.

A2L vs A3

A3 is wider in the body and shoulders, suited for heavier builds above 86 kg. If you are 180–188 cm and above 86 kg, A3 is the right choice. If you are taller but lighter, A2L may still fit better — contact us with your measurements and we will advise.

Shrinkage

All Ronin gis are pre-shrunk before finishing. The size you order is the size you get after washing, provided you follow the care instructions: cold wash (30°C maximum), hang dry, no tumble dryer. Full care instructions: After the Bell — Gear Care Guide.

Competition Fit vs Training Fit

For competition, a snug fit is preferable — less loose fabric means fewer grips for your opponent. For daily training, a slightly looser fit is more comfortable over long sessions. If you are buying primarily for competition, size down if you are between sizes. If you are buying for training, size up.

IBJJF Regulations

All Ronin gis we stock are IBJJF legal in their respective colours. The exception is the Camo green model, which is approved for training only. If you are competing at an IBJJF-sanctioned event and are unsure about a specific model, contact us before ordering.
