What is a good gee??

[slammer449]

I just got into the martial art thing, and I was wondering what gee's are good, reliable, and comfortable. I would like to have a high quality one but not spend over $60. Could you please mention the brand and a good place to buy them on the net. Any suggestions??

Which style of martial art?

If you are doing a stand up striking art you can get away with a single weave.

If you are doing any grappling or throwing than you may want to get a double weave.

The double weave feel really stiff at first, but over time it will become extremely soft.

ATAMA makes a good gi, but expensive.

Gameness also has a good reputation, but I do not own one.

Try the "Hyashi Tiger Claw" Gee. Google the company and they will provide all kinds of info for you. I have a single weeve and its still thick enough for my BJJ training. $65

Welcome! Has your instructor given you advice on your uniform?

I practice BJJ, and my first gi was a KI, right about $60. I have graduated to a more sturdy Koral gi now, but the KI served me well.

Welcome to MT.

Talking to your instructor is a good first stpe for gi, equipment and etc.

Like others have said, it depends on your MA. If it is karate, tkd, judo, bjj you will need a different gi for each of these.

Ask others in your class and your instructor. Look for someone that might have a similiar build as you and see what they like. Also, to consider is how YOU would like it to fit. Some gi's run bigger/smaller in certain areas.

In my experience 'high quality and under $60' do not belong in the same sentence when it comes to Gi's.

Welcome, and happy posting! :wavey:

Welcome! Has your instructor given you advice on your uniform?

I would ask this also - as others have noted, different arts have different requirements; find out what your instructor requires and let us know, and then more specific advice can be provided.
