In my Judo class we are to provide our own uniforms and I am unsure of what kind to get. Any help would be very appreciated!|||Judogi%26#039;s can be either functional and cheap or frilly and super expensive. for a beginner, a single weave judogi will do just fine. they are less expensive and therefore easier to replace if you lose/gain a significant amount of weight.make sure that it is a judogi though... a karate gi or some other single weave will rip in about 15 seconds. I started judo about 3 years ago and still have my first gi... a single weave from KI intl.
once you start competing more seriously you will want to invest in a a double weave, but it will cost more.
before you buy anything you must 1) ask your sensei what he recommends... he can probably get it for cheaper, 2) when you buy ask how much it will shrink in the wash. some shrink more than others but generally after two washes and dries, all the shrink is out, and 3) don%26#039;t buy blue... blue is for pansies.
if you%26#039;re intersted this is the website for www.KIintl.com I think they are the best cheap gi out there. Wash twice, dry in drier twice before you wear it to class. might need to hem the pants, but this gi should last you. hang to dry after initial shrink/wash/dry sequence.
hope this helps.
ps. i was serious about blue gi%26#039;s... they really are for homos.|||why don%26#039;t you ask your instructor? Your instructor may have a connection for getting them cheap as he/she probably gets asked a lot...
however the Hirota and Tokaido dogi on this site are great quality:

...a tad pricey for a beginner though..|||MUZIMO has been called the %26quot;buy once never need to buy another%26quot; gi .But the top alone can cost between 300.00 to 450.00.|||weave equates to thickness, at least double, but might as well go triple. A single weave would be for a martial art that doesn%26#039;t involve grabbing.
