What brand Gi is best?
This really does depend on your preference. If there’s a guy a similar size to you at the academy, ask to try his jacket on before practice, so you can quickly gauge how you feel in it, and how well the cut of fabric fits you. There are hundreds of Gi brands available at varying prices, both domestically and internationally. Brands you tend to see around are Koral (that tend to be pricey but of a good quality), Atama (which tend to be a little smaller), Blitz (cheap but reasonably good quality, and UK based), Tatami (fairly new UK company, but are cheap and the Gis look VERY good), and Vulkan, who produce a particularly light Gi when you want to cut those last couple of pounds for a competition.
