    Hey,

    Been training casually in BJJ for awhile but just joined a club where I need a gi. Had a look at a few on ebay and seem to be about 65e. Anyone know anywhere cheaper? Also is there any considerations i should be aware of?

    Last thing, whats the story with a belt? do I just buy a white one or do I wait to speak to the coach?

    If you've never worn one before, I'd say get one from your coach/whoever supplies the club. You can fit a few on and pick the best one. That way ya won't have to worry about size.

    And if you're not sure about which belt you should be wearing, then it probably should be white.

    Tatami do a good basic gi for about €65/€70. Like the above said most clubs order them in for you so have a chat to the coach and see. Which club did you join?

    Your club can get a club discount with a GI Manufacturer.
    As mentioned Tatami or you also have Black Eagle, Both have reasonably priced GI's .
    Dont think your going to get anything cheaper than e65 , as you mentioned.

    Not to worry OP, you're a white belt as soon as you step on the mat. If you are buying a gi yourself, one word of caution about belts: just get a cheap white one for less than a fiver. "BJJ" belts cost more and the only difference is a black area on one end.
