Ok so i've looked into uniforms online at several different sites and using the advice/info that i got from my last post i've figured out what color and what type i want/need....etc.......my next question is about sizing....my problem that i'm having is that the sizing charts are a little weird.....i'm approx 6ft to 6ft 1" tall and somewhere between 230 and 240lbs my waist size is between 36 and 40 depending on what i'm wearing......
.....however....the uniform sizing charts that i've seen online go something like this...
size 5..... 5ft 9" to 6ft.... waist is 33" to 40".......190lbs
size 6......6ft 1" to 6ft 4"...waist is 35" to 50".......220lbs
size 7......6ft 5" to 6ft 8"...waist is 38" to 52".......240lbs
can somebody shed some light on this....if i had to take a wild guess i would probably go for size 6 because the height wouldn't be too tall the waist would be perfect and 220lbs i'm sure these things do stretch a hair.......but it just seems to me that the spread on the sizes is a little weird......i mean i know that you should weigh 190lbs if you're 6ft tall but unfortunately thats not always the case lol......any (more) help is greatly appreciated and thanx to all that helped me out by replying the my previous post about uniforms......
and also...(A question that should have been asked to the sensei) i'm very aware that when you first begin you are a "white belt" at least that is how it works in the judo belt system which is the system used for the Jiu Jitsu i'm(very soon to be) taking.....i'm only semi aware of proper dojo etiquette(hope i spelled that right) but i'm curious if when i do purchase my first uniform if i'm supposed to also buy a white belt......i just know that belts are supposed to be earned and whatnot and i don't want to offend any instructors by walking into a dojo with a belt...i would imagine that this wouldn't matter for a white belt since thats a starting level but you never know........once again thanx
